Wide-scream at Columbia
In a decade of great musicals from all studios, Columbia, in 1955 managed to
make a truly terrible
one....and it is this one...and was their first film in Cinemascope. Harry Cohn
must have bellowed
orders at someone to re make every Marilyn Monroe dance number so far on film
at Fox but 'blondly'
hire Betty Grable instead. It also might be Jack Lemmon's first film too.
Either way, this
embarrassing musical is a mish mash of MGM's Kiss Me Kate, Give A Girl A Break,
The Bandwagon and
Fox's How To Marry A Millionaire. I guess Columbia just wanted to make a
splashy musical as their
first Cinemascope spectacular ......but forgot to create one.....so they just
copied the best bits
of box office hits from the previous few years. It is really awful. If you like
awful films like I
do you might find it strangely fascinating...the musical numbers especially.
Don't show it to
anyone though, just watch it yourself.
