Movie Reviews of Call Me Madam
Movie Review: This is my favorite movie!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a huge fan of Donald O'Connor, and had no idea this movie existed until reading some of his biography online. So after watching some clips on YouTube and finally renting it from Netflix, I was hooked and bought it. Irving Berlin's music is fantastic, as always, and Ethel Merman does a super job belting out her songs while providing some humor along the way. George Sanders is perfect in his role as the foreign minister, and his singing is heartwarming and pleasant. And let's not forget the singing AND dancing of O'Connor and Vera-Ellen! Watching the two of them together makes you feel like you're in a different place in a different time. Highly recommended.Movie Review: very good musical
Summary: 5 Stars
"Call Me Madame," is a beautiful and colorful musical. Ethel Merman is great and sings out some lovely songs.. Also Vera-Ellen is lovely in it and does a great dance number with Donald O'Connor," it's really good and well worth seeing. George Sanders is great in it and he and Ethel Merman make a nice couple. It's a musical that is really a fast for the eyes. So many beautiful costumes and scenery. The made it look a lot like the German towns and villages were the story takes place mostly. With all the great costumes, music and actors, you can't go wrong. It's a real beautiful musical and a great escape musical too.Movie Review: Made just before CinemaScope was introduced!
Summary: 5 Stars
It would indeed have been a nice bonus had this film been produced in CinemaScope, but the studio that first brought that process before the public, Twentieth-Century Fox, hadn't quite readied its first releases in that widescreen process and so "Call Me Madam" was given everything but a forty-foot wide screen to dazzle its audiences. It's a pretty eye-filling spectacle, nevertheless, and the Technicolor used seems to be the original three-strip process which fairly leaps off the screen. Wider might have been nicer but the film could hardly be better for all of us diehard musical fans!Movie Review: Hollywood at its best doing a great Broadway show.
Summary: 5 Stars
Very seldom am I impressed with Hollywood versions of Broadway Hits. This is one of their best efforts. Thank God, they kept Merman for the film. I was in high school when the movie came out, with many great memories associated with its songs. Perry Como made several 45s from the show, and every house party was filled with the sound of his mellow voice. I was overjoyed when the DVD FINALLY came out. You will love the camp style of Merman and the great dancing of Oconnor and Ellen. Highly recommendedMovie Review: absolutely great musical
Summary: 5 Stars
Why can't they make musicals like this any more?
Ethel Merman, Donald O'Connor et all at their best! Great songs and music, wonderful cast. I only wish they could remaster all the old musical films so that everyone could enjoy them again and again.
My fourteen year old daughter thought it was one of the best musicals she had seen. A great family entertainment!
