This review is from: Springtime in the Rockies (VHS Tape)

This is a must see musical, with color and an interesting plot. The costumes againa re very pretty and colorful, and atmospher ein the film is glamerous and beautiful. It's a greta escape, and a film that can be watched again and again. John Payne and Betty Grable ar egreat in it. Cesar Romero is wonderfulin it, so charming. Cameron Miranda and him are paired again just like in "A Weekend in Havanna." They make a great couple.

4.0 out of 5 stars LAKE LOUISE IN TECHNICOLOR ., May 26 2002

This review is from: Springtime in the Rockies (VHS Tape)

Another enjoyable but virtually nonsensical Fox musical! Here we have lovely Grable and the handsome but wooden John Payne being needlessly suspicious and jealous of each-other while Carmen Miranda (as Miss Murphy!) and Caesar Romero complicate matters romantically. The movie takes us to Lake Louise, Banff, Alberta, Canada - 1940's style, and the Technicolor holds up astonishing well - it is clear and vibrant - a real treat for the eyes to behold! Carmen Miranda does her usual scene stealing as the secretary Payne hired while in a drunken stupor in Detroit - Payne also hired the wonderful Edward Everett Horton as his well-educated valet whilst "under the influence". Watch for Charlotte Greenwood doing her hilarious high-kicking dance while she's tipsy, lonely and uninhibited in the resort nightclub - she's embarrassed at the enthusiastic applause she receives! There is something about Greenwood here which reminds me of Celeste Holm in looks, speech and manner - they would have made a terrific mother-and-daughter act! The high-voiced Harry James (to whom Grable would marry and stay with for 20 years) plays his magnificent golden trumpet while the great Big Band vocalist Helen Forrest is showcased - dressed a bizarre, unflattering outfit & walking between the dancers - singing her biggest hit: I HAD THE CRAZIEST DREAM.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Reason To See Why Betty Grable Was a Major Star!, Mar 15 2002

By

Damon (California, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Springtime in the Rockies (VHS Tape)

Wonderful musical comedy with Betty Grable in top form as Broadway star who abandons her partner/fiance, John Payne, for the Canadian Rockies when she believes him to be stepping out on her. Once there, she meets up with past dance partner Cesar Romero and uses him to make Payne jealous when he himself shows up at the resort where they are working as a team. The colorful Carmen Miranda is also a stand-out in a hilarious role as the girl Payne uses to try to get Grable jealous as well. The cast is rounded out by the delightfully comical Charlotte Greenwood and Grable's future husband, Harry James, who contributes to the musical goings-on with his fabulous trumpet playing. Lively production numbers and gorgeous Technicolor, not to mention the beautiful Grable herself, make this a fun treat for late-night viewing.
