Movie Reviews of Call Me Madam
Movie Review: Last of the great musicals...
Summary: 4 Stars
This was Ethel Merman at her best. Even if you're not a fan, this is a cute movie with lovely songs and great dancing. The story is a bit silly and dated, but the acting and inside jokes keep it from being totally inane. The commentary was a little too dry. That was something that could have used some more Hollywood sparkle and less of a history lesson. Anyway, it was great to see Donald O'Connor in his prime and the duet with Ethel was a knockout. Just try and get some of those Irving Berlin songs out of your head after you watch this!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.Movie Review: A good movie of the Broadway musical
Summary: 4 Stars
Call Me Madam was a good musical, although (by the standards of the mid-twentieth century) not an outstanding one. This DVD presents it very well. Since many of the jokes may not be understood unless the viewer has some knowledge post World War II period in which it is set, some viewers may not appreciate them. However, the Irving Berlin music & lyrics are enjoyable even if you don't understand the jokes. Video & audio quality is very good.Movie Review: Corny But Good
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is a very corny musical, and silly at times. But it's always great to see Ethel Merman, and she really delivers in this film. Likewise, Donald O'Connor and the rest of the cast. Lots of wonderful singing and dancing in this Irving Berlin musical. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing!Movie Review: A great musical film.
Summary: 4 Stars
A great musical film, Ethel Merman and Donald O'Connor at their best. A lot of vitality and fine singing and dancing. The commentary on the DVD is not bad either.
