Personally, this film is hard for me to watch because I simply don't like Betty Hutton's "schtick." It's just too much for me--almost grotesque. She's not...
As a little bitty girl, I always loved Red Shoes. There was a cartoon version that my mom used to rent for me of the Red Shoes that I'd watch over & over. I...
... Red ... talent, ... seen ... I didn't know that she was up for Royal Wedding either. I understood the choice was June Allyson, then Judy Garland and by the...
Dear all, I do agree with Patricia that there are some good moments in "Let's Dance" - basicallly, when Betty Hutton isn't on screen. The thing that drives me...
Western Union delivered its last telegram a few days ago, and NPR did a feature about it last night. Was I ever surprised to hear Beddini's recitation of...
We watched a very silly, very entertaining dark comedy called "My Favorite Spy" last night--not the Bob Hope movie, but a 1942 RKO feature starring bandleader...
I basically agree with what has been stated about Betty Hutton. I do not like slap stick comedy. One of the many things I love about Fred Astaire is is low...

lol...my Mom loved Betty Hutton. She was in high school in the 40s and under her class pic in the yearbook (for the nickname part) it says "Betty Hutton"....
I've often wondered too. Also, in the 1933 Little Women, Aunt March, played by Edna May Oliver (Maggie in the Castle movie), holds a dog that looks just...
I wonder if people on this list object more to the horrible pairing of Betty and Fred or if they just don't like her. I haven't seen very many movies of Betty...
I occasionally like her myself (especially earlier on), but--much as I hate to use this overused phrase--she and Fred just "hadn't any chemistry." Even Sarah...
Since there appear to be at least a few Bing Crosby fans on the Astaire list, I hope no one minds if I mention that Bing's 1934 film "We're Not Dressing" is...
Hey, Kurt! I may have been in the same audience as you were! It was at the National Portrait Gallery that I first saw FOOTLIGHT PARADE, and was wowed! If...
Okay, I'll take the other side of this issue. I adore Betty Hutton. I think her "antics" are charming and funny, and think she has a tremendous voice...
I am not against Betty Hutton. I have seen her in several things I love. I loved the movie, Annie Oakley, she did with Howard Keel. No one would have...
... as ... I agree with the majority view that this film doesn't work, mainly because the pairing is bad and Betty Hutton's antics are way OTT but I do enjoy...
Amen! Me too! I love Betty Hutton. My heart was won over way back when she was star of the month on TCM. Her interview w/ Robert Osbourne was just so real. So...
I think TCM is showing it in March. Patty ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam...
