VHS Movie Reviews of Three for the Show [VHS]

Movie Review: A Legal Bigamist
Summary: 4 Stars

Julie (Betty Grable) and Vernon Lowndes (Gower Champion) are a great team. He writes 'em and she plays 'em on the stage, but their team is incomplete. Julie's former husband Marty Stewart (Jack Lemmon) used to co-write the shows, but he was killed during the war, or at least that is what everyone thinks. In reality, Marty was marooned on an island; it was another Martin Stewart that died. Julie and Vernon are in for the shock of their lives when Marty returns and anticipates home sweet home, but finds himself involved in a case of bigamy.

This film has some great music, especially the Gershwin and Porter songs. Unfortunately, most of the musical sequences come off as bizarre thanks to the way they suddenly appear as if out of nowhere. For example, it takes some time to adjust to the fact that the film has been transformed into a musical when the three come home after a time of separation. The scene is well done, but it requires a few moments to be able to see so.

Grable is beautiful here with her platinum blonde hair and musical talents. It is interesting to watch her perform the songs, especially "I've Got a Crush on You" in which she seems to be immitating successor Marilyn Monroe. Lemmon is likable as always, a good guy with a tendency to go over the top- in a good way. He brings some comedy to the show. Champion proves to be a very good dancer but an unimpressive romantic partner. His shortcomings make Marty seem like the better choice in a husband. Champion is joined in the film by his wife Marge, who plays a family friend with a crush on both of Julie's husbands. She is a sweet girl with acting ability but without enough star power to play anything but supporting roles.

This story idea has been done both before and since this film. Perhaps the best interpretation is Too Many Husbands starring Jean Arthur, Fred MacMurray, and Melvyn Douglas.

Movie Review: BETTY GRABLE QUEEN OF TECHNICOLOR "THREE FOR THE SHOW"
Summary: 5 Stars

Betty Grable overshadows all in this fabulous musical from 1955, she looks glamorous with her million dollar legs and platinum blonde hair, Betty Sings& dances with all the gusto you would expect from this box office movie queen the most popular female star in the history of motion pictures,watch Betty Grable in Technicolor and CinemaScope, with the Champions Marge and Gower hustling for their share of the limelight and newcomer Jack Lemmon, but Betty as usual steals the show!.Three For The Show Color, this is so rare so very collectable, I have a U.S. copy and U.K. copy these both in different ways fabulous.

Movie Review: I saw original film when I was a teenager .Brill.

Movie Review: Grable show she still has 'it' in this comeback musical
Summary: 5 Stars

Grable's first film away from Fox in 14 years is a winner - for the star. Her musical numbers (wish there had been more!) are fine, and check that Latin beat finale 'How Come You Do Me Like You Do' - it's sheer magic, thanks to Grable and Jack Cole's inspired choreography. One British critic who reviewed the film stated simply: "Forget the plot, gorgeous Grable more than make up for it."
