Show Boat [VHS]53 reviews
Kathryn Grayson, Ava Gardner
Warner Home Video, 2000
Favorite Musical
Showboat has always been my favorite musical movie with its drama and beautiful music. The video quality is very good considering the age of the movie. It is full screen on a flat panel TV but you can tell that it has been stretched. Kathryn Garyson's beautiful voice hits high notes that are incredible as are the dance routines of Marge and Gower Champion. Ava Gardner gives a remarkable ...

Andy Hardy's Private Secretary [VHS] 5 reviews
Lewis Stone, Mickey Rooney
MGM/UA Home Video, 1998
One of the Better in the Andy Hardy Series
This was one of the better of the Andy Hardy films. Kathryn Grayson is utterly lovely in it. This Hardy film more than others is loaded with New Deal era political correctness which in many ways enhances the films appeal. All the Andy Hardy movies were personal projects of Louis B. Mayer and his hand is all over these movies. The Andy Hardy series was the role of Mickey Rooney's career. When are ...

Lovely to Look at [VHS] 9 reviews
Kathryn Grayson, Red Skelton
MGM (Video & DVD), 1995
It's Lovely!
This is a delightful MGM musical that has not gotten the credit that it deserves. The amazing duo of Kathryn Grayson and Howard Keel are wonderful...as usual. Marge and Gower Champion and Ann Miller add beautiful dancing, and Red Skelton adds humor. The songs are great. Kathryn Grayson performs "Yesterdays" and "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes". Howard Keel sings "The Most Exciting Night" and "Lovely to ...

That Midnight Kiss [VHS]8 reviews
Kathryn Grayson, José Iturbi
MGM (Video & DVD), 1992
Great Mario musical
"That Midnight Kiss," is one of Mario's first and best films. It's so memorable. The lovely romance moving opera songs. It's a must see and hear film. Katheryn Grayson is lovlier then ever in it. They make a great couple. In my opinion it's one of Mario's best films. The costumes are colorful and a feast for the etyes. The scenery is delightful and the acting is good. Mario besides being ...

Rio Rita [VHS]9 reviews
Bud Abbott, Lou Costello
MGM (Warner), 1993
One of A&C's best!
For what it's worth, "Rio Rita" (1942) is actually the first of Abbott and Costello's three films for MGM, while "Abbott And Costello In Hollywood" (1945) is the last. (The second was 1944's "Lost In A Harem.") All three are quite good - in some ways better than the more famous films the duo made for Universal - and well worth a look by anyone whose idea of GOOD comedy is something more ...

Anchors Aweigh [VHS]45 reviews
Frank Sinatra, Kathryn Grayson
MGM (Video & DVD), 1995
A First-Rate Showcase
Yes, Anchors Aweigh is long. Very, very long (2 hours and 20 minutes) and best absorbed in two sittings, if possible.
However ... I, personally, have the attention span of a goldfish and this movie never left me bored. The plot is rather basic: two sailors (Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra) go on four-day leave and fall in with (and fall in love with) a beautiful young singer (Kathryn Grayson) ...

Kiss Me Kate [VHS]68 reviews
Kathryn Grayson, Howard Keel
MGM (Video & DVD), 1995
Kiss Me Kate
This is a wonderful, typical musical of the fifties. The music harmony between Howard Keel and Kathryn Grayson is beautiful to hear. One of the highlights is the comedy skit with the late James Whitmore. Definitely a movie to round out your fifties musical experience.

Ziegfeld Follies [VHS]34 reviews
William Powell, Judy Garland
MGM (Video & DVD), 1992
What a Masterpiece!
I grew up watching my Grandparent's VHS copy so was thrilled to see that Ziegfeld Follies is now on DVD! The cover is quite different to that of the Bill Collins VHS but the quality of the film itself is remarkable. Watch it on Widescreen if you can, it is absolutely beautiful!
Not only are there songs like 'This Heart of Mine' by Fred Astaire (with gorgeous choreographing to match), 'Love' by ...

Toast of New Orleans [VHS]12 reviews
Kathryn Grayson, Mario Lanza
MGM (Warner), 1998
Toast of New Orleans
I recently watched this video and found it one of the most entertaining that I have recently seen. I had forgotten just how lovely Mario Lanza's voice was, not having heard it very much since the 1950's. The plot was a little weak in parts but mostly amusing with some farcical moments. I loved the way in which Lanza played his character, sometime tough and sometimes vulnerable. The combination ...
