VHS Movie Reviews of Two Girls & A Sailor
Movie Review: Sing Away the War
Summary: 4 Stars
Two Girls and a Sailor is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon and features a great cast. The Deyo Sisters Patsy and Jean (June Allyson, Gloria De Haven) have been in show business their whole lives. When they grow up, they start their own canteen for soldiers and sailors from WWII to visit, have some snacks, and be entertained. Jean has a secret admirerer who gives her an old warehouse to expand the canteen. In it is an old vaudeville star (Jimmy Durante) whose career is practically over but who comes alive when he can aid in running the canteen. A large amount of soldiers frequent, especially Johnny (Van Johnson) who becomes special to both the girls.
The cast is wonderful. Although Allyson is supposed to be the "ugly" sister type, she's luminously beautiful. De Haven is also gorgeous in more of a pin-up type of way, and her personality is reminicient of the Wilde Twins who are also in the cast. Johnson is appropriately boyish, yet masculine and authoritative, the perfect combination for a screen idol. Durante is wonderful both as a comic and a singer; his unusual voice and great smile lend themselves well to the character.
There is a lot of great music here too. Gracie Allen makes an appearance to perform the concerto for index fingers. Lena Horne sings "Paper Doll." Harry James performs with his orchestra along with another band that features Helen Forrest singing Latin music. Durante sings his famous "Inka Dinka Doo" and Allyson and DeHaven perform several songs. The film is a hybrid; half of it is about the story and half is about the great music. It is escapism at it's finest.
Movie Review: Review 2Girls and a Sailor
Summary: 5 Stars
I rate this high because it was the only movie we had on Iwo Jima. This of course when there was only mop up operations. We must have watched it 5 or more times. I will never forget that movie because of the circumstances, We were humming the song "Sweet and Lovely" for days.

Summary: 5 Stars
Really love this movie. SHame that Miss Dehaven was not in more pictures. SHe is one very tallented actress who has beauty, style, class and proved that even in the movie "Out to Sea", still has all these things and CAN STILL DANCE with the best of them. SHe really has a wonderful singing voice. Most of all...........even at this stage of her life (80 yr. old) she is just as beautiful and LOOK AT THOSE EYES and THAT SMILE!!!! It is nice to know that Miss Dehaven, Miss Allyson and Mr. Johnson have remianed friend for years.Movie Review: NIce enjoyable film.

Summary: 5 Stars
This movie aired over 20 years before I was born, And I viewed it for the first time 60 years later, but I fell instantly in love with those two sisters. Talk about talent, Beauty, voice, and dancing. This should be a must see for anyone who has left a movie theater wondering what happend to the plot.
