Movie Reviews of Nancy Goes to Rio DVD (1950) Jane Powell, Ann Sothern / Two Weeks With Love / Ricardo Montalban / Double Feature DVD
Movie Review: A TREAT TO THE EAR
Summary: 5 Stars
A must for lovers of music and talent. Take a trip back to the day when actors were performers, triple threats were the rule, rather than the exception.
Enjoy the amazingly wondrous talents of Jane Powell and add the new kid on the block Debbie Reynolds in one of her first on-screen ventures. Talent in the days when this fare was the golden rule and audiences were treated well by pure talent and not visual effects, poor actors and story lines enhanced by computer technology. Not to say there aren't some good movies today, there are but not with the sheer enjoyment of the viewer in mind, nor with the exposure to such glorious voices, needing no enhancements.
Few people of this generation can even say they know of people as talented as Miss Powell. It's a certainty, sadly, that they've never listened to people with her extraordinary talent and ability.
The movie is light, the plot very simple, a coming of age story, but the talent amazing. It is said this was Miss Powell's favorite film, Two Weeks of Love, by the experts at TCM.
My favorite parts, Oceanic Role, Abba-Dabba Honeymoon sung wonderfully by Carlton Carpenter and Debbie Reynolds, and I believe the reason the song became a hit. And the dream sequence where Miss Powell so beautifully sings the love song from The Chocolate Soldier will take your breath away.
Return to the hey-day of the MGM musical. A time when viewers were treated with respect and given the experience of culture and pure outstanding talent. A time so sorely missed and so sorely needed. But sadly, qualities decidedly not needed by today's generation.
