nobodysfool
I am curious to know why I had to order the movie that i wanted. With another movie such as fatman&little boy I originaly only wanted to purchase nobodys fool on its own but by your selling advertisement on the n.e.t. i was coheresed into purchasing a duel movie dvd to get the movie i wanted so i went ahead with the purchase to obtain the movie i wanted so i recieved the package from you with the duel cover of nobodys fool .fatman/little boy with only one movie in it nobodys fool ' I then emailed you of such & was informed that another copy would be sent & the mistake corrected i have now received the second package with same problem i had given good creditation for your community responses & thought that maybe being a big company as you are this could not happen twice but it did .So all iam asking that i have other orders for shipping .That i will receive from you & that i will reeive the correct order without any problems it has put doubts in my mind to as where i may shop in the future for the same items i was looking forward to better dealing but it seems it has been one big problem just seems strange having two duel covers &only one movie in each of these covers please make sure that the items i ordered are correct i don't want to keep doing this thanks Wes

Surprised?
This off-beat Paul Newman/ Melanie Griffith movie is known for Melanie flashing a full set of breasts at Newman. It's more than that though.Nobody's Fool only, reviewed here.Newman plays a broke divorced handyman working in a poor town that is run by the banker. Bruce Willis is married to Melanie who Newman has a flirty go nowhere relationship with. Bruce is also the source of Newman's paycheck. The banker, Bruce Willis, is a jerk but no one seems lily white here. The town is about to receive lots of jobs because of a large corporations expansion into their area & the local politicians & money boys are finally back into managing finances.Paul's son loses his job as a college professor due to the bad economy in the area & wind's up going to work for the dad that left him & mom for years. Other poor town themes get involved but for some reason this never became tedious to me. It moves scene to scene with pace & follows a logical flow of events. If you like large & small breasts there are more sets towards the end of the show in a scene you'll recognize from a HAHA funny show. This is funny occasionally but only to break up the serious nature of this show. Let's all play poker & raid our neighbor's garage tonight. 4 stars.

Ron's review of "Nobody's Fool."
Paul Newman has given a score of memorable performances in his long career. His performance as a disillusioned lawyer in "The Verdict" has to rank as one of his best. Very close to that is his performance in "Nobody's Fool." Newman plays a down on his luck handy man in a small town. Initially he appears to be a failure bearly making a living but as the movie unfolds we find that he is a pillar of strength for virtually all who he come in contact with. He makes their lives better and he does it so smoothly hardly anyone notices his efforts. Eventually a son who has disliked and avoided Newman comes to see him for the good person that he is. In a scene where Newman has to spend some time in jail for punching a deputy his son says, "You know, it's not easy being you!" Newman's response is classic: "Don't worry about it. I wasn't very good at it when I started out, either." This is a small movie with a big heart and wit. If you are looking for a movie with blood, bullets, and bodies, forget this movie. If you want to come away with a warm feeling, a smile on your lips, and thoughts about the relationships in your life, I heartily reccommend "Nobody's Fool."

A nice dual set
Fat Man & Little Boy gives a behind-the-scenes look at the tensions of developing the atomic bomb during World War II and the personal sacrifices made to do so.Nobody's Fool stars Paul Newman and Jessica Tandy (her last film) in what reviewer Desson Howe of The Washington Post called a film so "eloquently straightforward, it practically sings to the soul".No special features.

Nobody's Fool - Better then ever
I gave up waiting for "Nobody's Fool" to be released on blu-ray so ordered this double movie DVD. I have not watched "Fat Man & Little Boy" but have watched "Nobody'sy Fool". The DVD upscales to 1080p very nicely so I am very pleased with the quality of the results especially when matched with the price. This movie ages well as both my wife and I enjoyed it more then when originally released. I was a resident of the Hudson Valley when this film was made which makes the film nicely personal for me. Great film, great price and quick delivery.

wow--modern classic
Beautiful adapation of the book. A few characters and subplots are left out, but not missing from the movie. Had the movie for years and it is still one I pull out regularly to enjoy. Jessica Tandy in her last film--wish she was my eight grade english teacher. Paul Newman is sublime in his role as the blue collar grandfather hearthrob?. Never seen Melanie Griffith or Bruce Willis in better roles. Can't recommend this movie enough. Not sure why it is package with Fat Man and Little Boy for such a price but take advantage. You will not be disappointed.

First atomic bomb
Fat Man is about the development of the first atomic bomb in the US. Could be more enjoyable, but it is informative.

Hard to find, need to be seperated
Nobody's fool is a typical Paul Newman late career movie. He was probably the best actor overall that the US ever produced. Fat Man & Little Boy Is a slightly better movie than the reviewers said, but it is not a P.N. movie it is sort of a "mish mash" of good actors making a quick few bucks. Newman deserved more recognition for Nobody's Fool.
