Lerner and Loewe's Broadway smash became the first and only musical undertaking for Clint Eastwood, who stars alongside Lee Marvin as two corners of a love triangle involved with beautiful Jean Seberg and partners in a bizarre financial enterprise in Gold Rush-era California. Songs include "They Call the Wind Maria", "I Talk to the Trees" and "I'm on My Way". Directed by Joshua Logan.

Dirty Harry sings to trees! Lee Marvin croaks out a love song!

This is a really fun film. If you haven't seen it, you're missing out on some great comedy. Clint Eastwood and partner Lee Marvin wonder how much gold dust falls through the cracks in the floors of the saloons of the mining town, so they begin to dig a virtual honeycomb of tunnels under the entire town! It makes The Great Escape look like child's play. And there are a lot of strange goings on in a mining town, too, adding to the fun. Great fun, lots of laughs and the beautiful song "They Call the Wind Maria" sung by a mangy bunch of miners! Don't miss it!

Labor relations take on a whole new meaning in George Abbott's filming of the hit Broadway musical, with garment worker activist Doris Day and factory foreman John Raitt playing the enemies-turned-lovers. "Steam Heat", "Hernando's Hideaway" and "I'm Not at All in Love" are among the memorable Adler / Ross tunes enhanced by Bob Fosse's choreography. Special video edition includes outtakes of the unused "The Man Who Invented Love" number and original theatrical trailers for Day's "Romance on the High Seas" and "Calamity Jane", and Adler and Ross' "Damn Yankees".

A fun film. Doris is cute and feisty. Carol Haney plays a prominent role, and we get a rare opportunity to see her really do her stuff, especially in the big hit "Hernando's Hideaway." See what really goes on in a pajama factory!

The Doris Day Collection, Vol. 1 DVD Box Set (shown right) contains this film and Jumbo, Calamity Jane, The Glass Bottom Boat, Love Me or Leave Me, Lullaby of Broadway, Please Don't Eat the Daisies, Young Man with a Horn.

The Paleface
Paramount, 1948, Color, 80 minutes, ***½
Released December, 1948

Bob Hope is a daffy dentist and a shaky gun; Jane Russell is the gorgeous gunslinger Calamity Jane, and together they tame the Wild West with laughter in one of Bob's best comedies. Features the Oscar-winning song "Buttons and Bows".

This movie keeps me laughing all the way through - not many movies can do that. It's a barrage of corny one-liners, slapstick and funny escapades that never lets up. A high-paced comedy that makes you sure that half of it is going in one ear and out the other. The movie features the wonderful "Buttons and Bows", sung by Bob Hope to Jane Russell. The song was later made popular by Dinah Shore. Don't miss this one!

Hayley Mills plays a dual role in this charming film (versions of which have hit the silver screen at least three times). She and her twin sister are separated at birth when their parents split up, and one goes with Dad and the other with Mom. Neither parent has told either twin about the separation or the other twin. When they meet - purely by chance - at summer camp, it isn't long before they figure out what happened. They decide to switch places so each can spend some time with the parent they've never met. Really cute film -- Lots of fun!

Hayley sings a couple songs in this film. She may not be the greatest singer in the world, but she has some kind of magic charm rather like Shirley Temple had, and her singing is cute and fun to listen to. One of Hayley's best films.

Pennies from Heaven
MGM, 1981, Color, 108 minutes, ***
Released December, 1981

It's the Great Depression in Chicago. Sheet music salesman Arthur Parker is trying to sell his products but it's not easy to convince unwilling music store owners to buy them. Although he's already married to the somewhat drab Joan, when he meets school teacher Eileen in a music store, he falls in love with her.

Quite an interesting mish-mash of Sam Spade, noir, deco and Great Depression (economic and mental)... Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters sing and dance their way through this colorful, over-the-top film lip-synching to music of the era. It's a fun romp, but a bit depressing. Definitely worth seeing.
