| | Great Memories | Anonymous 01/15/2007 | | Every year or so my father would break out old 16mm home movies, and this classic that we also had on 16mm. We looked forward to watching it all most as eagerly as we did the Wizard of Oz. I highly recommend introducing this short (11 minutes or so) movie to any child 10 or younger. It is very cute. We rescently dubbed this film onto a DVD and my 17 and 19 year old of course didn't get it's greatness, but it still brings back fond memories for my siblings and I who are now 55, 52, 45, 41, and 40. |

| User Review |
| | As Good as it Gets | 1fatts 07/22/2007 | The script is funny. The music is great. The Gene Kelly/Donald O'Connor dancing duets are magic. Debbie Reynolds looks younger than Princess Leia ever did. Jean Hagen steals every scene she is in -- Steals it? She picks it up, tucks it under her arm and carries it away.
Best Line: "I make more money than Calvin Coolidge . . . put together!"
Favorite Trivia: At the end of the film, Debbie Reynolds is supposedly dubbing a song which the Jean Hagen character is mouthing because she cannot sing. In reality, in this one song in the film, Debbie Reynolds is being dubbed by . . . Jean Hagen!
This one is on everyone's list of top ten musicals ever made. But if you know anything about movies, you already know that. |
