All About Eve (1950)
One of Hollywood's greatest films
I agree with the above comment. It's redundant to repeat the prior praises; however the fact that Bette Davis did't win the Oscar for best actress is because Anne Baxter refused to be entered in the Oscar race as "best supporting actress." As she was quoted, the movie is not called. "All About Margo." Had she done so, they both would have captured Oscars. George Sanders certainly deserved his Oscar as the "I love to hate you" theater critic who enabled Eve to rise to stardom. All the other players in the cast were great too. Even Marilyn Monroe is good in her small role as a sexy, air-headed actress wannabe. It is an excellent script that holds one's attention throughout. There is a little something in it for everyone. It is my understanding that that the restoration "pros" stated that had they had to chose only one film to save, it would have been "All About Eve."
Rosie! (1967)
One of my favorites
In addition to being an extremely fun movie, may I add that the costumes and scenery were wonderful. This kind, fun loving woman had a great deal of money. Unfortunately, she also had two greedy daughters who were anxious to get their hands on her money. This woman was lonely since the death of her husband. He had proposed to her in a theater that was going to be torn down. To prevent that, she bought it. Her daughters were afraid she was throwing away "their" money and decided to take action. The character actors in this film were a great plus also. I would give almost anything to have a copy of this film in my video library, but as of yet, it's never been released. Sad.
Music in Manhattan (1944)
A "little white lie" changed a girl's entire life and career!
A struggling song and dance actress tells a little white lie to obtain passage on an airliner bound for Washington. Everything gets out of control when the fib is believed by the media! She meets Mr. Wonderful, she becomes famous, and her Off-Broadway show becomes a hit. Dennis Day plays her bewildered boyfriend, but his voice is right on the money. Many great character actors add to the mix to make it a fun romp.
