Movie Reviews of Silk StockingsMovie Review: Forgotten Oldie Summary: 4 Stars
Excellent movie that hasn't been shown much in recent decades. Especially good for those who remember the Cold War, although younger generations could enjoy the music and dance as well. Some of the dance numbers are fabulous, and Cyd Charisse is at the top of her form. Last musical in which Fred Astaire did his top-hat and tails routine. Story line has a Romeo and Juliet feel to it, but with a different ending. Definitely worth a look for anyone who enjoys musicals, and musical comedies.
Movie Review: musical Ninotchka Summary: 4 Stars
As much as I love Fred Astair and Cyd Charisse, it must be said that the original Ninotchka has qualities that this version lacks. But then you don't get Peter Lorre singing and dancing in the original Garbo picture. For a musical lover, or a Fred Astaire fan it is an absolute must. Note that you will see much more of Charisse than Astaire, but we'll take what we can get, right? The quality of the print is very high- overall a great addition to your classic film collection.
Movie Review: ATTENTION to all Dutch viewers!... Summary: 4 Stars
This is another example of how good Hollywood Musicals are!... There's a great Fred Astaire; a stunningly Cyd Charisse and the greatest Dutch entertainers for years in a supportive part: Wim Sonneveld as the (Russian) composer Peter Boroff. Unfortunately this film doesn't show the talent of Sonneveld; he was a GREAT singer and a GOOD comedian. Nevertheless: this film is a MUST for all the fans of Wim Sonneveld.
Movie Review: Great Film - Poor Quality Master! Summary: 2 Stars
Received this great musical on DVD the other day to enhance my collection and was disappointed to find the picture quality substantially inferior to my identical television recording and only a slight improvement upon an old video tape of the same film. Digital enhancement would appear to be needed in this particular case.
Movie Review: Silk Stockings Summary: 2 Stars
Fred and Cyd were never singers or actors; they should have stuck to what they knew best....dancing! Cole Porter was not at his peak when he wrote the score for this amateurish box office failure. And those accents!
