Movie Reviews of A Date with Judy
Movie Review: Technicolor Jane Powell MGM musical on DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
A Date With Judy 1948 stars teenagers Jane Powell and Elizabeth Taylor who experience all the pains of growing up in a time of innocence. The story line has some very interesting similarities to Doris Day's By The Light Of The Silvery Moon (1953). Grumpy Wallace Beery plays Jane's father (how is that possible with his mug?) who becomes innocently involved with Carmen Miranda, who stirs things up a bit in the music and laughs department. Also appearing are Xavier Cugat and his Orchestra, a young Robert Stack and Scotty Beckett. Add some great songs and breathtaking color by Technicolor, and you have a totally enjoyable musical comedy for the entire family.Movie Review: Wish I could Date Judy.
Summary: 5 Stars
A Date with Judy is a fluffy-fun movie.
Jane Powell is cute and sings beautifully.
Both "It's a Most unuaully" and "Strictly on the corny side" are well done.
A Date with Judy started out as a radio series ,1942-1950.
Louise Erickson played Judy from 1944 until the end of series.
Richard Crenna played her boyfriend, Oggie.
Unlucky for us most of the radio episodes are missing.
But of the surviving handfull of episodes that are some gems to listen too.
My favorite being the guest appearance by Frank Sinatra.
Movie Review: Entertainment
Summary: 5 Stars
For those who enjoy the musical movies of the 40's & 50's. they would enjoy this, although it is not as high standard as some. Jane Powell sings her best in this movie. Carmen Miranda also has a couple of enjoyable numbers. A little bit on the dramatic side, but it adds to it. It shows Elizabeth Taylor's beauty, and her acting ability. All the characters in this movie are good. It is entertainment at its best for this kind of movie.Movie Review: Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
Jane Powell never disappoints. The songs are familar and no one sings them like Jane. A young Elizabeth Taylor lights up the screen but seems a little too sophisticated for the movie, she is however, breathtakingly beautiful. Wallace Berry doing the rhumba? Hmmmm! Carmen Miranda and Xavier Cugat add their special South American music to this fun movie.Movie Review: A Date With Judy
Summary: 5 Stars
Enjoyed the simplistic story and the musical content. The acting was
good and sometimes quite funny.
Jane Powell is always a joy to see and enjoy her singing talent.
Loved Carmen Miranda and Cugat together. Liz Taylor is so beautiful
as always.
The colour wasn't great....it was to dark!
