Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

dott602 I saw this movie long time ago in the 60s when I was just a little girl. I loved it and I have been trying to find out how I can purchase it. This film had a lot of my favorite actors in it. Robert Wagner, Natalie Wood, George Hamilton, Pearl Bailey. I also loved Susan Kohen, I remember her from Imitation of life. I have check Blockbusters, Columbia House movies, TCM movies, Ebay, Amazon and just putting in searches on the internet with no luck.Someone told me it is no longer in print, can anyone confirm that? I was told the Turner Classics was the place to go because they have a wide selection of vintage movies. So if anyone can help me locate this movie I will be eternally grateful.

dbdumonteil Anderson's movie is derivative.It looks like lite Douglas Sirk: the spoiled kid sister (played by Susan Kohner who worked with Sirk) is not unlike Marylee (Dorothy Malone) in "Written on the wind" ;besides ,Ruby's funeral will fatally make you think of that of Annie in "Imitation of life" ,a black choir singing "Free at last" replacing Mahalia Jackson.The screenwriters also borrow from Kazan's "splendor in the grass" as far as the two leads' fate is concerned.And the baby trick was used a hundred times or more in the thirties and forties melodramas (notably Bette Davis' "the big lie" and "the old maid" ;Olivia De Havilland' s "to each his own").Having said this,one must credit Natalie Wood for making the best of the stereotyped part of a go-getter;Robert Wagner's moody looks work wonders too when he plays the trumpet and in the scene when he backs Pearl Bailey's impressive vocals.This is the kind of movie they don't do anymore;this is the kind of story which could go on and on and on and on;in a word,it's the perfect soap opera ,and it still exists today in the form of the TV series.Like this?try these.......Peyton Place Mark Robson 1957Imitation of life Douglas Sirk 1959

mickymouse2323 I saw the movie a year ago and I have to say it is good. Salome (Wood) found out that she was pregnant by Bixby (Wagner) felt that he couldn't support her and the child so she ran away from home. It was interesting when she ran into Tony (Hamilton) on the train and got married but he was unaware that she's pregnant with Chad's baby. When they both reach the university where he was attending, Catherine (Kohner) ran away from home as well but she wasn't pregnant. Things between Catherine and Salome wasn't peaches and cream. Catherine was used to get all the attention. Right after that Salome had her baby she somewhat reunite with Chad. Well y'all just have to see the movie there is a lot of twists

tejanaZ They don't make films like this anymore but they made a lot of them then. This is one of the better ones ... a perfect 2 hour indulgence on a rainy afternoon.I've seen this film many times in the course of my life but I just realized it's a modern reworking of Emily Brontes' "Wuthering Heights". It wasn't until tonight that I realized the similarity. I think that's because it works with the added elements that distinguish it.It's full tilt melodrama of the Harlequin novel variety but its a good one ... emotional, overwrought and overacted in Technicolor. Pearl Bailey steals the show from all the beautiful people at the center of this soap opera. I just wish she sang more ...
