Movie Reviews of Call Me Madam
Movie Review: The best commentary ever
Summary: 4 Stars
All other reviews has talked about how wonderful this movie is, but there is one more reason to own this movie. The commentary by musical film scholar Miles Kreuger is great! It is almost like a lesson in musical history. He gives so much information on Mr, Berlin, all the actors,, even dance and costume. If you love musical, you just have to watch this movie with the commentary on for once, you will surprise how much you can learn about this movie.
Summary of Call Me Madam
A great star and a great composer can make a Broadway musical into a smash, as Ethel Merman and Irving Berlin proved with Call Me Madam. Not a bad place to start with a movie, either, and the 1953 film of the show has both Merman and Berlin represented in brassy fashion. Granted, Merman's platinum-throated talents were best suited to the stage, and the production overall has that dutiful, stodgy tone of so many Fox musicals. Extra points for the suavity of George Sanders (he's Merman's love interest in tiny Lichtenburg, where the lady has been appointed U.S. ambassador), and for the dancing of Vera-Ellen and Donald O'Connor. A year after crashing through the wall in Singin' in the Rain, O'Connor has a similar solo athletic workout to "What Chance Have I with Love." High point: Merman and O'Connor trading verses on "You're Just in Love," the best tune in a bouncy score. --Robert HortonAction & Adventure DVD Video
