Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Cunninghamolga This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

gkeith_1 Spoilers. Observations. Opinions. Lovely musical. Very nice costumes. Little girl costumes remind one of Ginger Rogers making a movie where she tries to be a twelve year old girl. Trained seal OK. John Payne OK. But where is Mr. Selfridge? According to many sources, these sisters single handedly brought down his department store empire, in real life. Mr. Selfridge's high living sent him on a downward financial spiral before he met the Dolly sisters, however. They had a great time spending his last dime, so to speak. I am watching this film. I have seen it before. I don't remember seeing Selfridge in it. When I finish it this time, I will know. I am an historian, actress, singer, dancer, fashion designer, stage makeup artist, film critic and movie reviewer.

cbramberg Can anyone tell me if the Dolly Sisters movie is on DVD or VHS? I never forgot this movie that I saw as a child and would love to see it again. Is there a website that I can watch it on? I vaguely remember a scene where June Haver and Betty Grable were in a musical scene with other women all dressed with headpieces in the form of makeup, i.e. one headdress was a lipstick, etc. June Haver was a favorite of mine and I think I just adored Betty Grable. I can't remember the name of her love interest but I remember him singing " I cant begin to tell you": He was very popular in the 40's and 50's Anyhow I'd appreciate it if someone can tell me how to view this movie again.

Letty Lynton This movie was very entertaining with Many numbers that proved this movie great. They were cheerful and looking good in every move they made. they made this movie a classic and never forgotten. I remember the last scene when they were both arm and arm with the man singing and that was a beautiful scene, capturing everything. When you watch this movie, you'll feel a tingle of excitement because you know you are watching a great picture. This movie made June Haver a star and advance Betty Grable's career. Once you see this movie, you'll never get your eyes off the screen. Its really that good. I recommend this movie to anyone that loves classic movies and loves excellent entertainment.

jotix100 This colorful musical directed with great style by Irving Cummings is a delightful way to spend some happy moments. This 1945 Fox film presents the life of two sisters that became a sensation in America at the beginning of the last century. The music is the best excuse to watch this happy movie. We first meet the young Dolly Sisters, Jenny and Rose, as they arrive in America from their native Hungary. The girls are talented and soon, they are delighting the vaudeville circuit with their charm and talent. Their career soared after Harry Fox, who later became Jenny's husband, introduces them to the great Oscar Hammerstein, who sees in the women, an amazing capacity to entertain the public of the era.As played by Betty Grable and June Haver, the Dolly Sisters are irresistible! The real sisters were not blond, but who could fault the stars with the disarming way they act in the musical? Ms. Grable and Ms. Haver are a sight for sore eyes!As the man in Jennie's life, John Payne plays Harry Fox convincingly. Mr. Payne projects a virile figure and he is perfect opposite the gorgeous Betty Grable. His composition in the movie, "I'm Always Chasing Rainbow" was written by Harry Carroll and Joseph McCarthy whose inspiration is the Chopin's Fantasy and Impromptu in C Minor and it blends perfectly in the composition and in the subtext of the film. There are also appearances by that charming character actor, S. Z. Sakall, who plays the girl's uncle. Also Reginald Gardiner does good work as the Duke of Breck.This is a fine musical that will delight fans of the genre.
