Just about the greatest movie for kids - and mums
I have just bought this on DVD, having only had a copy from TV
(complete with ads) up until now, and in my mid-fifties, I sat down to watch it again. The sheer fun and professionalism blows me away and the dubbing of the songs is so good, I found I was watching really closely for mis-matches. I have seen far worse on adult-made movies. These kids were terrific and the whole production is immaculate. I loved the peddle cars the first time round and felt that my childhood had been deprived because I only had an ordinary peddle-car (mind you I do feel sorry for the poor kids peddling like mad with passengers). I am delighted that it has been re-released, and yes maybe some of the chorus girls did look a bit cheeky in those costumes, but I don't believe that it is made for paedophiles, I think it is just a great musical.. preeces watch Lucky Number Slevin movie
i love the film harry potter it is brill.
plodge watch Happily N'Ever After 2 movie
Great film well worth watching old time classic.
Jodie Foster as Tallulah
Alan Parker and Paul Williams collaborated on this fun kid's musical, with a
cast including Scott Baio and Jodie Foster. Most of the songs are mimed by the kids to adult voices (with the exception of Foster's ‘My Name is Tallulah') but the story – a group of gangsters who wipe out rival gangs with splurge guns – is fast-paced and inventive. This is certainly one of the best films aimed at children to come out during the 1970s, and has a lot to offer for a general audience, too. Parker of course would move on to more successful musicals aimed squarely at a mature audience (The Commitments, Evita) as well as a range of other things, but this is a well-filmed and interesting piece of work. . |
