Movie Reviews of Hello Frisco Hello
Movie Review: Enjoy it for the Vaudville it Offers
Summary: 3 Stars
After the first 30-40 minutes of "Hello Frisco, Hello" I was very impressed with the quality of the singing, dancing, and on-stage humor. This was going to be another one of those diamonds in the rough, I thought. It developed into another costumed love story and lost its' magic until it regained it belatedly at the end. Yet the first third or forth of the movie really ought to be seen by those who loved the old Vaudville song and dance acts of the past. Alice Faye is her usual melodious self this is probably one of her best movies. However, for me, Jack Oakie steals the show. His humor was something I expected but I never knew he was so light on his feet. He is quite a dancer and the dancing was the equal of the singing.
I watched "Hello Frisco, Hello" because it won and Oscar (for Best Song) and I noticed it was also nominated for Best Color. The Best Song Oscar is probably the worst reason to watch a movie (I can't see myself watching "8 Miles", for example) but I like the excuse that it gives me to see a number of old musicals I would have otherwies missed. I'm glad I had the opportunity to watch the beginning of "Hello Frisco, Hello", it made it worth sitting through to the end.
Summary of Hello Frisco Hello
In this "lavish and gorgeous" (Hollywood Reporter) romantic musical featuring the Oscar?-winning song "You'll Never Know" Alice Faye portrays a talented singer abandoned by her ambitious saloon-owner beau (John Payne) for a heartless socialite. After becoming a huge star in England she returns when his marriage crumbles hoping that he still loves her.System Requirements:Running Time: 99 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?MUSICALS/MUSICALS UPC:?024543536932 Manufacturer No:?2253693Kids & Family DVD Video
