  • A Rollicking Good Time!

    Another Hollywood Technicolor extravaganza in the same vein as "The Gang's All Here" and "That Night in Rio". Sadly, studios will never make pictures like this again. Pure, clean entertainment with enough fun plot twists to hold the audience throughout. Grable is romantically vibrant, John Payne and Cesar Romero are at their performing peak and Carmen Miranda, Charlotte Greenwood and Edward Everett Horton keep the humor flowing. Great dance routines set to the music of Harry James round out the appeal this film preserves for the generations born since its release in 1942! Just buy it, settle back and let this charming film transport you to a kinder, gentler time. It's great!

  • The BEST of the war-time Fox musicals

    SPRINGTIME IN THE ROCKIES is one of many musicals 20th Century Fox made in during World War II. In my opinion it's by far the best of the lot, and Fox made some good musicals during the war. It has attractive leads, John Payne and Betty Grable, an unbelievably talented supporting cast in Edward Everett Horton, Charlotte Greenwood, Carmen Miranda, and Caesar Romero as well as Dick Elliott and a young (if already full-figured) Jackie Gleason, and Harry James and his band. The story is about a song and dance team (Grable and Payne) who were successful on Broadway for three years, who break-up on the eve of getting engaged because she suspects him of philandering. She re-unites with an old dancing partner (Romero, who's a damn good hoofer) and begins touring a hotel/resort circuit which includes Chateau Lake Louise in Alberta. Payne cannot get backers for a new show without her, and he flies to Lake Louise to win her back with the ulterior motive of getting a fourth season on Broadway for them. One the way he collects a valet, Horton, a secretary, Miranda, the secretary's brothers a Latin musical group. Upon arriving at Chateau Lake Louise Payne learns she's now engaged to Romero. The usual musical numbers are included including Miranda singing Chattanooga Choo-Choo in Portugese, and a solo dance number by Greenwood in which she does all her classic, comedic dance moves while supposedly inebriated. Miss Greenwood is remembered for her high kicks, but in the first number in the film, "Run Little Raindrop", Payne does a high kick that is the equal of Miss Greenwood's. You'll have to watch closely or you'll miss it. Payne is often thought of as a western star because of his work in the late forties, fifties and sixties. He was an accomplished singer and dancer, too. (He studied voice a Julliard in the early 1930s.) Also take note of Dick Elliott as Mr. Jeepers. Elliott appeared in over 240 films, most often cast as judges, mayors, newspaper reporters, policemen, and blowhards, who usually can't stop talking except when he'd burst into a loud laugh that bordered on a cackle. But what a cackle. This a wonderful, fun-filled romp through WW II diversion.

  • Wait, there's a plot?

    Mindless entertainment in the best sense of the term, this was likely just what audiences needed in 1942 when World War 2 was raging and the news was pretty bad. In fact it was a smash hit for 20th Century Fox. Terrific music buoys a silly story; Betty Grable is totally appealing; the outrageous Carmen Miranda steals every scene she's in; and the vivid Technicolor will just about melt your retinas. Now that I think about it, I could use some clean, decent, amusing, tuneful entertainment like this today!
