The Unsinkable Molly Brown ( Debbie Reynolds ) - New Region All
Jan 16, 2019
Bright , entertaining Musical
It was bright and cheerful with plenty of excellent performances. Transferred from the Broadway stage quite well. Debbie Reynolds fought hard to get this role and was fortunate that the first choice of MGM (Shirley Mc Laine) was unavailable at the time production commenced. It was her most favorite role and she threw all her energy into it. The first scene betrayed its stage roots and was very stagey, but most of the film was very entertaining. Its style is getting a little dated now. The last of the big Budget MFM musicals, that had its budget cut because of the excessive spending on the Movie Cleopatra with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton
