Rating: - A Real Period Piece
There's a lot to enjoy in this goofy, perfunctory Fox backstager. The casting (fun, quirky) is the star here, trying perhaps to recapture the mood of a 1930's screwball comedy.
No one -- particularly the writers and the director -- will ever be accused of laboring too much on this one. The actors know that there isn't much drama and there isn't much comedy, but they deliver what they can.
A couple of small delights: 1. Some of the makeup and hair on this VHS is outrageously unflattering in the technicolor -- and that's part of the 1940's charm; 2. The camera work is particularly ... Read More
Rating: - delightful Betty Grable offering
Betty Grable plays Vicky, a beautiful Broadway star who abandons her cheating boyfriend (John Payne) for a job offer in the Canadian Rockies. All manner of complications arise when Vicky meets a dance instructor (Cesar Romero) and decides to teach her cheating boyfriend a lesson or two in the art of two-timing.
Also featuring Carmen Miranda in a great comedic supporting role, SPRINGTIME IN THE ROCKIES is one of Betty Grable's finest movie offerings and certainly one of the most delightful. She gives a great performance here. Also featuring Charlotte Greenwood and Edward Everett Horton.
Rating: - A great film!
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.
Rating: - LAKE LOUISE IN TECHNICOLOR .
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 ... Read More
Rating: - A Good Reason To See Why Betty Grable Was a Major Star!
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 ... Read More
