Star! **** (1968, Julie Andrews, Richard Crenna, Michael Craig, Daniel Massey, Robert Reed, Bruce Forsyth, Beryl Reid) – Classic Movie Review 5937
Julie Andrews is ideally cast and absolutely fabulous in director Robert Wise’s stylish, thoroughly enjoyable 1968 musical biopic of Thirties British revue star and stage performer Gertrude Lawrence (1898-1952). The film was nominated for seven Oscars, winning none. It […]

Director Ray Enright’s disappointingly flat-footed 1939 Warner Bros film version of the great 1936 Broadway hit musical by George Abbott, Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart unfortunately lacks the spark and most of the music of […]
Babes in Arms **** (1939, Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland, Charles Winninger) – Classic Movie Review 3610
Director Busby Berkeley’s 1939 musical is a triumph for Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney in the first and most famous of their ‘let’s put on a show’ movies, in which the kids of broke performers stage […]
Gypsy *** (1962, Rosalind Russell, Natalie Wood, Karl Malden) – Classic Movie Review 3555
