The Merry Widow VHS,
By Katherine C Li (North Potomac, MD United States) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Merry Widow (VHS Tape)
The quality of the VHS is not very good. The sound track is actually very bad. It must be a copy from some bad source.

MGM gloss at it's best!,
By Byron Kolln (the corner where Broadway meets Hollywood) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Merry Widow (VHS Tape)
Lana Turner and Fernando Lamas light up the screen in MGM's watered-down version of Franz Lehar's operetta THE MERRY WIDOW.Crystal Radek (Lana Turner) is invited to a forgotten little European kingdom where her dead husband was born, so she can attend the unveiling of a statue dedicated to his memory. Little does she know that the Government is more interested in her 8-million-dollar inheritance than anything else! Count Danilo (Fernando Lamas) is called on to seduce Crystal and marry her, and ensure that her millions are put to use in the European back-water town. Crystal gets wise, however, and decides that if Danilo is going to fall in love with anything, it will be her and not her money! Featuring the delightful Una Merkel and Gwen Verdon leading the can-can chorus, it's full of plush sets and gorgeous costumes. One of MGM's most lavish and enjoyable musicals.

Mesmerizing music, expert dancing, and gorgeous Lana Turner,
By A Customer
Ce commentaire est de: Merry Widow (VHS Tape)
The script is pedestrian but the dancing is superb. Picture Lana Turner at the height of her beauty dressed in fabulous gowns that showcase her hour-glass figure. The final waltz alone makes this video worth its price. Lana and Fernando whirl around a mirrored ballroom to the haunting strains of Lehar's "Merry Widow Waltz". The film demonstrates that, in addition to being beautiful, Turner was an incredibly graceful dancer. The music, Turner's poignant beauty, and fabulous dancing make this unforgettable.
