Movie Reviews of What a Way to Go!
Movie Review: Shirley MacLaine is so DANG cute!
Summary: 4 Stars
This was another movie purchased for Paul Newman Night. What a wonderful treat! The nod to several different movie genre was PERFECT!
Since my focus for the movies I'm reviewing is Paul Newman I will start there. Mr. Newman plays Larry Flint (how weird is that?), an American in Paris (I am smiling as I write that because that is another all time favorites of mine) He is a struggling artist. But aren't we all?
The French movies from the 50s and 60s with the bohemian lifestyle is the theme here and Shirley MacLaine is big-haired and turtle necked when she has clothes on. Paul Newman is bearded and scruffy. They roll in the sheets and bathe together in a funny scene. I am surprised that one of them doesn't pass out. They are kissing the whole time. I won't tell about the whole movie since its been covered pretty well here.
Paul Newman is funny and full of himself and his art.
I wish he was my neighbor.
Movie Review: What A Way To Spend An Evening
Summary: 4 Stars
Corny, kooky, silly, over-the-top, and just plain old fun, What A Way To Go showcases an early in her career Shirley MacLaine as a young woman who becomes a multi-millionairess as a result of the early demises of her many wealthy husbands. Of note are the wonderfully outrageous costumes designed by Edith Head, and the fantasy numbers imagined by MacLaine. Best are the old Hollywood musical number with Gene Kelly, in which we are reminded that MacLaine was quite the hoofer in her day, and with Robert Mitchum, in which MacLaine parades an amazing line of gowns. With as many wigs. A great way to spend of couple of hours.Movie Review: Hot vintage MacLaine
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this movie. I am 26 and I usually think of Shirley MacLaine as an older actress, but she is smoking hot in this flick! She plays a maneater of sorts, but with a good heart and bad luck. I love her costumes and the way she vamps through much of the picture, yet still conveys some level of innocence. I have seen this movie many times and I finally had to buy it. This film is packed with stars at the peak of their careers and the chemistry with MacLaine is intoxicating. Especially with a very sexy Paul Newman!Movie Review: It's a classic period piece
Summary: 4 Stars
I remember seeing this when I was very young, and loving it then.
I searched for it for years and finally found it here on Amazon.
It did not disappoint. Of course, I understood much more of the movie as an adult, so it was doubly enjoyable; a star cast.. you cannot go wrong.
Even my college-aged nephew watched it with me and enjoyed it.
Movie Review: Silly fun
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a pretty silly film, but it has a huge cast of some of the greats in small but interesting little parts. It is mostly Shirley, but when you throw in Dean Martin, Dick Van Dyke, Robert Mitchum, Paul Newman and Gene Kelly doing their marvelous piece of the story it makes for an enjoyable couple of hours.
Try it, you'll like it
