Betty Grable

20th Century Fox - The First 50 Years

Julie Andrews, Red Buttons

Image Entertainment, 2000

WOW! Better than "That's Entertainment!"!
I'm usually not a fan of big, blowsy, overblown studio self-tributes, but this is the happy exception! At just over two hours, the documentary is concise, well written, and brilliantly edited. Super-cool James Coburn provides the "voice of god" narration. The title ...

The Gay Divorcee

Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers

Turner Home Ent, 2006

fine early vehicle for Fred and Ginger
The Gay Divorcee has all the qualities of an American 1930s musical: dancing, singing and acting all by very good actors in a glamorous world free of the woes and sorrows of the Great Depression. The plot moves along at a fair pace even though it's razor thin; and the ...

Four Jills in a Jeep

Kay Francis, Carole Landis

20th Century Fox, 2008

5 Stars for 4 Jills!
I saw this movie on tv the other day and absolutely loved it. They were playing it for Memorial Day. The singing is wonderful, the actresses are lovely, and the whole thing was just well done. Martha Raye is hilarious! I wish they'd put this out on DVD...I'd buy it ...

How To Marry A Millionaire

Betty Grable, Marilyn Monroe

20th Century Fox, 2001

Hilarious
These women will go to great lengths to land a rich husband, even if that means selling all they have, living on hot dogs, and going to high society parties to stake out the millionaires. The performances from all three of these actresses are amazing! You can't help ...

Follow the Fleet

Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers

Turner Home Ent, 2005

fine and somewhat underrated Fred and Ginger musical
Follow The Fleet is a solid RKO musical from 1936 that gives us Fred Astaire as Bake Baker, navy seaman and Ginger Rogers as Sherry Martin dancing at their best, even if the plot is rather thin. Look also for a great performance by Randolph Scott as Bilge Smith, Bake's ...

Down Argentine Way

Don Ameche, Betty Grable

20th Century Fox, 2006

fine, classic movie musical with scenery and entertainment
Down Argentine Way is a delightful, light fare type of early 1940s movie musical that should charm just about anyone who loves this type of motion picture. We get fine performances from great stars including Betty Grable, Don Ameche, Carmen Miranda and the incredible ...

A Yank in the RAF

Tyrone Power, Betty Grable

Terrific
What a terrific movie - Betty Grable had everything - looks, talent - she could sing, dance and act.

Song of the Islands

Betty Grable, Victor Mature

Great example of a great American musical!
When I watch a musical I want to be entertained and this movie is very entertaining. When you combine the talents of Betty Grable with the escapism of a South Seas set you have a formula of great cinema. Be it a little campy it's campiest at its best. Also a measure ...
