Movie Reviews of Beautiful Blonde from Bashful Bend
Movie Review: Betty's biggest flop plays a lot funnier today
Summary: 4 Stars
The legend goes something like this: After Judy Garland dropped out of Annie Get Your Gun, MGM called Zanuck, head of 20th Century Fox, and asked if he would loan out Betty Grable to replace her. After thinking about it over the weekend, Zanuck called Mayer back and said, "Why the hell should I loan out my golden girl when I've got a better property to star her in?" The better property? The Beautiful Blonde from Bashful Bend! Despite starring Hollywood's number one female (Grable was on the Top 10 Box Office list for 10 consecutive years) and being written and directed by one of the best in the business, Preston Sturges (in his autobiography Sturges writes that this was a misfire, and that Betty Grable was so great to work with and such an excellent comedienne she deserved much better) the picture tanked. Today, surprisingly, it plays much better. Grable's comedic talents really do shine (Sturgis was right!) and she gets better than able support from Cesar Romero, Rudy Vallee, Olga San Juan, Porter Hall and Sterling Holloway (as a pair of hilarious hillbilly twins) plus Hugh Herbert who steals all of his scenes as a nearsighted doc. Grable's opening saloon number is to die for. And the shootin' gets a few laughs, as well.
