XANADU is one of the most critically and commercially panned films in
Hollywood history, a 'Nouveau Art' musical with Art Deco themes, a
weirdly
conceived animated interlude, and performances of such widely varying
caliber that a viewer might wonder if the actors were all reading from
the
same script! But all that being said, I would like to offer a minority
opinion, an...

Like Elmer Gantry I first saw Inherit the Wind in the theater in
Brooklyn when I was 13 years old. Both of those films dealt with issues
arising from the Roaring Twenties out of religion. At the time I
thought both were great dramatic pieces dealing with issues of the
past. I thought how much we'd grown up as a country from 1925 to 1960.If you had told me that 46 years later we'd b...

this movie is probably one of the most boring pictures I ever saw. it
has got nothing to tell, except for the three little stories that are
brutally forced into a concept without inspiration, but filled with
unusable ideas. oh yeah, Kelly was a genius alright, but this is a
perfect example of how geniuses can BEEP the BEEP up. the stories are
already known to the general audien...

Despite all of the critical bashing of Brigadoon, I thought it was very
nicely presented. Before I go any further, be forwarned that I have never
seen Brigadoon on stage - only on screen - so I can't make comparisons.
IMHO, MGM couldn't have casted a better Tommy; Gene Kelly is perfect and
(although I agree that he may not be the best singer ever) I didn't doubt
his ability t...

I don't like musicals. They never made any sense to me. Don't get me
wrong,
I love music; it's an important part of my life. I love movies also, and
while the two often compliment each other, sometimes I'm repelled. It's
probably the dancing. A person breaking into a complicated dance number,
seemingly unaware of their surroundings, or worse yet, in complete synch
with a co...

intelligent entertainment... 'American in Paris' is the story of an ex-GI who remains in France
after the war to study and paint... He falls in love with a charming

I like it. Let me explain, I like Gene Kelly and I like Judy Garland so I
like this movie. It's a little weak on the plot, but there are a lot of good
reasons to see it. For example- this was Judy Garland's last film with
M-G-M. It has Get Happy in it, which is now included on practically all of
Judy's 'best of' CDs. It's great to hear, but watching the number is
marvelous. Thi...

Released some months before the end of the war, "Anchors Aweigh" is one
of Gene Kelly's major musical triumphs of the forties… Under the direction of George Sidney, it had the benefits of a pleasant
score, and—best of all—the services of Gene Kelly in his first true
starring role at MGM… The year before, in Columbia's "Cover Girl," he
had revealed an innovative ...

"Christmas Holiday" (Universal, 1944), directed by Robert Siodmak, is
an interesting drama with "film noir" elements, (based on the story by
W. Somerset Maugham which changes the local from Paris to New Orleans),
starring two performers long associated with musical-comedy, Deanna
Durbin and Gene Kelly (on loan from MGM), in their only film together.
Deanna Durbin's long awa...
