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 ...

Follow the Fleet

Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers

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 ...

Turner Home Ent, 1999

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 ...

Mother Wore Tights

Betty Grable, Dan Dailey

Fox Home Entertainment, 2003

Family Fare
This movie is an all time favorite for my children and me. Great family "values" with close family trying to stay together despite parents' jobs in show business and adolescent girls not wanting "to be seen" with parents. Much warmth with fabulous, uplifting old ...

Song of the Islands

Betty Grable, Victor Mature

20th Century Fox, 1998

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 ...

20th Century Fox, 1998

Art imitates life as Grable plays "The Pin Up Girl"
Betty Grable may have been seven months pregnant when this picture wrapped; but she puts in a fine performance with this musical. She sings well and dances, too. Fox does a marvelous job of hiding the fact that she's pregnant. The plot is razor thin as it was with many ...
