VHS Movie Reviews of Rich Young & Pretty [VHS]

Movie Review: Fabulous Musicals of the Fifties
Summary: 4 Stars

Movie Review: Good fun for Jane Powell fans
Summary: 3 Stars

Jane Powell stars as a young Texan who is taken to Paris by her father, played by Wendell Corey. While there, she runs across her mother (Danielle Darrieux) , who is working in a night club with her boyfriend (the oh-so handsome Fernando Lamas). This turns out to be a problem, since Powell had been told by her father that her mother was deceased. Oops! Hilarity ensues. I wouldn't say this film is in the first or second tier of Powell pictures ("Two Weeks with Love" and "A Date With Judy" are my faves) and it does drag a bit in spots, but Jane is always a delight to watch and it does have it's bright spots. Among them is a charming rendition of "We Never Talk Much" , a fun song I really like.

You might want to check out "Rich, Young and Pretty" if you are a fan of Jane or old Technicolor musicals. Grade: B-
