The Movie Theater Mall : Singin' in the Rain

Nothing to say more about this film. The world has known it too well for years.

But, surprisingly, this great film that was shot for a cost of $2.5 million (about $.5 million over-budget), was basically ignored by film critics when released and treated with indifference (with box-office of $7.7 worldwide). It received only two Academy Award nominations - Best Supporting Actress (Jean Hagen), and Best Musical Score (Lennie Hayton) and didn't win any awards. The film's musical score Oscar nomination lost to Alfred Newman's score for With a Song in My Heart.

Who cares about that? There's another beautiful song in this film. Though widely known for its inclusion in this landmark movie, this song has its roots in another movie made more than 20 years earlier; it was one of the top hits of the the 1929 movie "The Broadway Melody." The main reason for its reappearance is "co-writer Arthur Freed later became head of the musical section of MGM studios and recycled many of his own earlier hits." All were great tunes.

Billy Barty ...... Circus Performer (as Billy Barton)

In 1962, Doris Day was the top box office star (male or female) in the world. "Billy Rose's Jumbo" opened in New York at Radio City Music Hall during a newspaper strike and a snow storm which made the film suffer at the box office.

It is a wonderful film with great music, good acting and some exciting circus acts.

The story is secondary to the rest of the film. Simply, Doris' father, Jimmy Durante, owner of the Wonder Circus, was in deep financial trouble and about to lose his business. Boyd played the son of the owner of a rival circus who wants to take over the Durante organization including the main attraction, Jumbo, the wonder elephant.

Day, of course, falls in love with Boyd and the rest is music. Doris Day had some wonderful moments. She showed her mettle as a comedienne in a scene where she takes over a crap game from her father to win back the money he has lost.

Although the film was suffered for both box ranking and criticism, the song "My Romance" could help things getting very much better. Doris Day's singing was so sweet. It's still sweet even in these todays' world.

The Movie Theater Mall : Cinderella

Clyde Geronimi

Wilfred Jackson

Hamilton Luske

It's an ordinary thing for anyone to say that "This is very easily one of my Disney animated films ever made because it is such a delightful adaptation of the classic fairy tale. The characters are a lot of fun to watch and the story was handled excellently. The songs in the movie are also very good to listen to and fit perfectly into the movie."

Right! Disney's films always provide the best thing for one's heart. On top of that, we can always hear at least one sweet song from such a film.
Cinderella has always given us this sweet and deep meaning song.

Here you are!

In 1944, some people knew about Frank Sinatra's personal life. And for some reason, they all didn't like Frank.Despite these flagrant liberties taken with his personal life, this film was redeemed as he was given perfect chance to prove to us just why he was the most popular singer of the world war II years with powerful ballads like, 'I Couldn't Sleep a Wink Last Night,' and, 'A Lovely Way to Spend an Evening.'

On the other hand, after seeing this sensual and romantic crooner in "Higher and Higher" , even many people in today's world can easily grasp why thousands of young women at those time slept in the streets in order to be the first on line to see the young and appealing Mr. Frank Sinatra as young blue eyes.

A Countess from Hong Kong was a 1967 comedy film and the last film directed by Charles Chaplin. It was one of only two films Chaplin directed in which he did not play a major role
(the other was 1923's A Woman of Paris), and his only color film. The film was a financial and critical failure.

Marlon Brando plays a wealthy American diplomat aboard a cruise ship which docks in Hong Kong. A countess (Sophia Loren) comes aboard and smuggles herself in Brando's
closet. Brando spends the rest of the film trying to hide her and avoid the press; almost the entire 2-hour film takes place in his majestic stateroom.

Chaplin directs with his usual grace, favoring long shots and comedy at a distance. He also provided the sweet, sentimental score and appears in a small cameo as a seasick
steward.

Tippi Hedren co-stars as Brando's almost-divorced wife, and a young, adorable Geraldine Chaplin has one line in a ballroom scene.

Brando reportedly did not get along with Chaplin, and most critics used that as fodder for panning the film, though the conflict does not show in the final product. Most of all, A Countess from Hong Kong caused a lot of trouble for auteur critics in 1967.They didn't want to pan Chaplin's final film, but they also couldn't say it was any good.

Nevertheless,this film is best known for the theme music, written by Chaplin, which became the signature song "This Is My Song " of Petula Clark. Since the film was and remains
almost universally disliked, the success of the song made back the money spent on the film.

The Movie Theater Mall : Romance on the high seas

Stars :

Doris Day …….. Miss Georgia Garrett
Oscar Levant ……... Oscar Farrar
S.Z. Sakall .........Uncle Lazlo Lazlo

“For its elaborate musical comedy Romance on the High Seas (1948), Warner Bros. had arranged to borrow Judy Garland from MGM. When Garland proved unavailable, the next choice was Paramount’s Betty Hutton -- who was forced to drop out at the last minute because she was pregnant. Desperate for a replacement as production was scheduled to begin, the film’s songwriters, Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn, happened to hear a young band singer named Doris Day singing at a Hollywood party. At the urging of Styne and Cahn, Day reluctantly agreed to audition for the movie’s director, Michael Curtiz.”

This film centers on Georgia Garrett, a talented young singer, who has dreams of success in show business. Georgia is hired by a socialite, Elivia Kent , to impersonate her on a dream excursion (all expenses paid) to South America. This makes Mrs.Kent can remain in New York to spy on her suspected cheating husband. Mr.Kent likewise has suspicions concerning his wife's infidelities and hires a private investigator, Peter Virgil to monitor his wife's activities during her cruise to Rio.

Virgil meets Georgia Garrett as "Mrs. Kent" aboard the ship, and, naturally, falls in love with her, adding to the complications. Georgia's boyfriend, Oscar Ferrar , is also curious about his "girlfriend's" mysterious trip. He follows her to Rio because Georgia failed to explain fully how and why she was going on the cruise. After promising that she would uphold the dignity of Mrs. Kent's name, Georgia is offered a golden opportunity to sing aboard ship for a great deal of money, but must do it as "Mrs. Elvira Kent", not Georgia Garrett. When word of "Kent's" singing engagement hits the newspapers, the real Mrs. Kent is horrified and her husband becomes suspicious because his wife cannot sing a note.
At last, things end up in Rio and false identities are revealed. Georgia is finally freed to be herself, Mr. and Mrs. Kent discover that each of them is faithful and the film ends on a happy note with Georgia on her way to fame and fortune and professes her feelings for the man she really loves, Virgil!

This film has been reviewed as one of the light-hearted conventional movies. Likeable performances (backed by a sterling supporting cast), plus good Jule Styne-Sammy Cahn songs, make it all pleasantly painless.

This film's male cast is a very good one, and they receive most of the cargo of really funny lines: Don De Fore, Cuddles Sakall, Oscar Levant, and certainly Jack Carson.

The song "It's Magic" is rendered in such a fog-horn voice, it's a miracle. Doris Day is one of the greatest vocalists ever.
