VHS Movie Reviews of Give a Girl a Break [VHS]
Movie Review: It should be on DVD because is one of the greatest.
Summary: 5 Stars
GIVE A GIRL A BREAK is one of the best MGM musicals, and should be among the 10 best list of Hollywood musicals, and not in the last place. Imagine: Gower Champion, Bob Fosse and Stanley Donen together, plus charming Debbie Reynolds and brassy Marge Champion. I suggest the number four of MUSICALS OF THE DREAM FACTORY with GIVE A GIRL A BREAK, INVITATION TO THE DANCE (Gene Kelly directing and dancing), YOLANDA AND THE THIEF (Astaire and Minnelli, what else?), LOVELY TO LOOK AT (Kathryn Grayson, Howard Keel, Ann Miller, the Champions), I LOVE MELVIN (Debbie Reynolds, Donald O'Connor and a terrific score) and perhaps SMALL TOWN GIRL because there were Ann Miller and Bobby Van. You can't miss that, for sure! Movie Review: BOB FOSSEE...DEBBIE REYNOLDS AND MARGE AND GOWER CHAMPION...BUT.......NO DVD!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Oh woe is me..All of this talent and, I cant enjoy it because its on a lousy VHS tape instead of a glorious DVD!Movie Review: I enjoyed this musical
Summary: 4 Stars
Debbie Reynolds was so cute in this film. If you don't know the plot it's about three girls that audition for the same leading part. Three men involved with the show each favor a different girl. Of course Gower picks Marge Champion. Bob Fosse plays a young stage hand? (not sure what his job title is) and wants Debbie, who he seems to like, to get the part. I never saw Bob Fosse in a role like this before. Stanley Donnen had a difficult time with the dancers in this film. Bob Fosse went along with him, but the Champions didn't. The Champions ended up doing their own choreorgraphy, and Bob did the numbers that he was in. Movie Review: really brialliant dance numbers!
Summary: 5 Stars
i think this film, Give a Girl a Break," is very good, and the choreography alone in it, makes it well worth watching. Debbie Reynolds does some lovely dance numbers. Also Marge and Gower Champion really shine in this film and in my opinion do some of their best dance numbers in it. It doesn't have the most interesting plot, bt is worth it for the song and dance. I think any fan of 50's musicals would enjoy it. It's colorful and a fun film to watch. I have to nore, the costumes are first rate, some of the lovliest I've seen in musicals.Movie Review: Definitely worthwhile
Summary: 4 Stars
While this film does not stand up to many classic movie musicals, it is a definite must for anyone with a fondness for Debbie Reynolds or Bob Fosse. Absolutely worth owning.
