Movie Reviews of The Helen Morgan Story
Movie Review: Lack of special features
Summary: 3 Stars
I really enjoyed the movie but it would have been nice if there had been some additional features such as a preview trailer or information on the making of the film or maybe an original clip of the real Helen Morgan.Movie Review: Helen Morgan Story
Summary: 3 Stars
A fairly good biography for the time that it was made. After searching for her on the internet I found that the fact she died as a result of being alcoholic was glossed over.Movie Review: The Old Meets the New
Summary: 2 Stars
This is an incredibly dated and white washed portrait of Helen Morgan, interesting for really only one reason, as an old time movie star meets a new breed star of the 50s. Ann Blyth was at the very end of her movie career, even though she probably didnt realise it at the time, she had just been let go from her MGM contract and saw this vehicle as a chance to shine in a dramatic role after being a coquettish heroine in films such as "Rose Marie" and "The Student prince" (Her musical movies have mostly been ignored by DVD)Unfortunately she did not prove capable of the requirements of the cliched role and never made another movie and Newman who was a star on the rise acts her off the screen in a role that helped launch his burgeoning movie career.As a movie it is slow and pretty inaccurate of the tragic life of Morgan.
