Movie Reviews of A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court/The Emperor Waltz - Double Feature

Movie Review: A great Movie adaptation
Summary: 5 Stars

The adaptation of Mark Twain's book "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" to the screen left in the fun parts of the story and took out all the point of the book. The book contains many lessons and thoughts that did not make it into the movie; one of the subjects is that the amount of money you make is only relevant to the price of a loaf of bread. However the movie is fun to watch and can be quite funny.

An auto mechanic and inventor Hank (Bing Crosby) is transported back to A.D. 528 with his almanac. After realizing where he is, he uses his wits and knowledge of the future to survive. He has many adventures. He helps a King (Cedric Hardwicke) to understand his people, overcomes a tyrant and finds a loyal friend (William Bendix). Naturally being Bing there is music and incantations to blot out the sun. Eventually there is true love Alisande (Rhonda Fleming). The movie leaves the questions: Will Hank settles down with his love or will he be dispatched with one of his own inventions?

Attached to this film is a second "the Emperor Waltz"
Another Billy Wilder film

Sort of Bing Crosby formula film. Acted with Bing Crosby, Joan Fontaine, Roland Culver, Lucile Watson, Richard Haydn, and Sig Ruman. Filming Location is Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada.

Virgil Smith (Bing Crosby), traveling gramophone salesman has a special customer in mind, Emperor Franz Joseph (Richard Haydn). On the way, his purpose is mistaken, correcting that he has a politically improper love interest with Austrian Countess Johanna Augusta Franziska (Joan Fontaine). In addition, they both fall in love with a little fuzzy pooch. Who gets the girl? Who gets the pooch? Who knew the plot before it even started
