Forerunner of the Music Video
This is a great movie if you like the big band sound. The story line is
quite simple, 2 girls vying for the attention of 1 boy. Some of it is filmed
on location in Sun Valley, Idaho about 1940.

The movie is filled with big band music, featuring Glenn Miller and his
band. The big number is Chattanooga Choo-Choo and includes a dance number by
the Nicholas Brothers. Seeing Milton Berle and Joan Davis as youngsters is
very enjoyable.

I was not born until many years after this movie was made, but I find it
nostalgic anyway. It has a lot more music as well and a lot of skating by
Sonja Henie.

I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys the big band
sound..
zubzubarth watch Super Mario Bros. movie
Glen Miller is always worth a listen. Sonja Henie is always worth a look..
pawlwiesinger@gmail.com watch What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? movie
I love this movie, its wonderful..
Top Secret Directed in 1984 by Jim Abrahams & David Zucker, and interpreted by Val Kilmer, Lucy Gutteridge and Peter Cushing. Parody of WWII spy movies in which an American rock and roll singer becomes involved in a Resistance plot to rescue a scientist imprisoned in East Germany (remake-parody over a film of 1954: "Betrayed", directed by Gottfried Reinhardt, interpreted by Clark Gable, Lana Turner, Victor Mature, Louis Calhern,...) .

A Charming Comedy
Anyone who has ever paid a visit to the mountain-cradled village of Sun
Valley, Idaho knows that one of the luxuries of staying in its well know
resort, of the same name, is that you can view this charming
"boy-meets-girl, and then another girl" romantic-musical-comedy, 24
hours a
day! If you are very lucky, as I was during my most recent visit, you
can do
so from a room overlooking the very ice rink that Sonja Henie performed
upon, in this snowbound, big-band era classic "Sun Valley
Serenade".

When war refugee Karen Benson (Henie) arrives from Sweden to meet her
sponsor Tom Scott, the piano player for a big band played by John Payne,
it
is clear that she has her romantic sites set on our non-assuming hero.
Scott
has met, fallen in love with and proposed to Vivian Dawn (Lynn Bari), a
tempestuous big band diva, just days before Karen's arrival. The band
gets a
gig in Sun Valley, Karen tags along, and the fun begins.

Henie's unshakable effervescence and contagious smile allow you to
forgive,
and even admire, her calculated attempts to win Scott's attention. Henie
charms you and Scott with her thick accent and graceful fetes on both
the
ice and slopes. Although never recognized as an actress by the
industry's
standards, Henie's comedic timing is so surprising, at times, you may
laugh
out loud.

John Payne, as Tom Scott, is your typical 40's leading-man--
down-to-earth,
charming, handsome, talented and a trust-fund baby. While the band
struggles for engagements and its public relations manager needs to
re-sole
his shoes, the Princeton grad does not seem to have a care in the world,
other than which girl to marry. He manages to keep his head just below
the
radar of the discrete feminine barbs at all times, with a relative air
of
oblivious confusion.

Milton Berle, as the band's self-deprecating public relations manager
(who
cooked up the adoption scheme as a publicity stunt to get Walter
Wenchell's
attention), keeps this comedy light-hearted despite the feeling that
there
is a `catfight' slowing brewing. Glen Miller's line delivery, as
bandleader
Phil Corey, is forgivable once the band kicks into high gear with
`Chattanooga Choo-Choo', among other dance and romance tunes of the day.
And
now we know that Jimmy Stewart must have studied this performance prior
to
doing his bio-pic "The Glenn Miller Story" (1953).

Watch for cameo appearances by the adorable 18-year-old Dorothy
Dandridge,
the show-stopping Nicholas Brothers, and Joan Davis as Berle's
gad-fly.

If you are a fan of romantic-comedies, the big-band era, ice-skating, or
just an old film buff there are special moments for all. Beware, however
this heart-warming comedy is addictive and you may be humming "It
Happened
in Sun Valley" in your sleep before you know it..
