Ship Ahoy

Eleanor Powell, Red Skelton

MGM (Warner), 1995

Eleanor Powell's BEST
It is such a pity that Eleanor Powell, the fastest dancer in the world, did not make more musicals. However, this gem of a musical ranks as her best movie. Two of her best numbers, "I'll Take Tallulah" and "Hawaiian War Chant", are with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. It ...

That's Entertainment 2

Louis Armstrong, Fred Astaire

MGM (Video & DVD), 1994

Has no peer
This sequel to the 50th Anniversary compilation from 1974, is a treat. Some critics dissected Gene Kelly on the account he was producing is own memorial service... Morbid indeed... It is a flawless, wonderful compilation. Many studios have tried to copy the excellense ...

Broadway Melody of 1940

Fred Astaire, Eleanor Powell

MGM (Video & DVD), 1995

BUT WHERE ARE THE OTHER 2 BROADWAY MELODIES 1936 & 1938.....AND HOW ABOUT AN ELEANOR POWELL BOX SET, TOO???
Doesn't everybody want to hear Judy Garland sing "You Made Me Love You" to Clark Gable's picture from B.M. of 1938? And why is this movie (B.M. of 1940) Eleanor Powell's only one on DVD??? She should have a Box Set released in the near future. Come on, Warner Bros.!

Born to Dance

Eleanor Powell can do no wrong, and she does all right in 'Born To Dance'. A Terrific Musical from the magical MGM Musicals factory. The VHS tape is OK and the laserdisc is fine, but this should be on DVD by now. Hurry Up Warners!

Duchess of Idaho

A great movie!
I really enjoyed this film. Esther Williams ans Van Johnson were just wonderful in it. I highly recommend it.

Broadway Melody of 1938

Robert Taylor, Eleanor Powell

MGM (Warner), 1992

MUSIC/OPERA BUFFS - IGOR GORIN, RUSSIAN BARITONE, SINGS!
Hi! Although the actors and horse are quite fun, I loved this film MOST for the MUSIC! It was created in the post-depression era, during the time that war tensions were increasing, in Europe (WWII). Every performer was a big star, at the time it was released, ensuring ...

Honolulu

Eleanor Powell, Robert Young

MGM/UA Home Video, 1995

A great movie to see and hear
This is one of my all-time favorite movie musicals, believe it or not. It has a very nice story, is well-written, and seems the perfect movie. It's not a paper-thin plotline as seen in many other musicals, nor is it overly bombastic with huge production numbers and ...

Thousands Cheer

Kathryn Grayson, Gene Kelly

MGM (Video & DVD), 1992

DVD DVD DVD !!!!! NOW MGM !!!!
We have been patiently waiting since 1992 for this movie to be put out on DVD. Its Time NOW MGM!!!

Lady Be Good

Eleanor Powell, Ann Sothern

MGM (Video & DVD), 1995

A Lot of Fun and Great Musical Numbers
Everyone in this movie is terrific, and the story, about the humorously tempestuous relationship of a songwriting couple played by Ann Sothern and Robert Young, is one of the better ones among musicals of the period. The songs and dances are great, too, with two of the ...

Broadway Melody of 1936

Jack Benny, Eleanor Powell

MGM (Video & DVD), 1995

Thank Heaven for Little Girls
This smash musical that won the Oscar for best dance direction was headlined by leggy Eleanor Powell abetted by a cast of superb dancers who danced, well.. spectacularly. At 5'6', Ms. Powell is not Maurice Chevalier's little Gigi, but when she flashes one of her ...

Sensations of 1945

Eleanor Powell, Dennis O'Keefe

Movies Unlimited

Room for Improvement
Serious aficionados who watch Eleanor Powell movies want to see great dancing with the best legs God ever put on a lady dancer, good music,and at least a semi-credible plot. Ellie's Pin-ball dance is a classic, and the attending circus is eclecticly entertaining, and ...

The Fighting Devil Dogs

Lee Powell, Bruce Bennett

Republic Pictures, 1995

Contains one of my favorite chapter endings...
Ah yes, Chapter 11, one of the two "economy" chapters, provided what I consider to be one of the very best chapter endings of all time. Beyond this, there are several memorable scenes...not just the chapter endings, but scenes in the middle of some chapters. For ...
