Superb Dancing May 15, 2007 Joseph M. Seda Excellent overall. A litlle slow in starting. Early Technicolor was only fair. Vera-Ellen was outstaning. Great David Niven Acting.
David Niven May 6, 2007 Cathy M. Parrish (Florida, USA) This is such a great old movie, one of David Niven's best in his earlier days of acting. He plays a great romantic role!
A VERY GOOD PLOT April 21, 2007 R. A POKATILOFF (ZION, IL USA) I love David Niven. He is one of the best comedy actors! I probably would not have bought this one if I had known it has music and dancing, but, I'm glad I did! The screenplay is very clever, and David handles it masterfully! Romero is also good. Interestingly, Diane Hart sounds like Audrey Hepburn. I wonder if Hepburn copied her, or, is that maybe a certain British style. But Hart does a good job as the female star's side kick. If you're a fan of classic comedy, you will like this one, and fast forward thru the boring musical numbers, unless, or course you like that sort of thing.
"Roan Group" version seems to be the best print July 10, 2006 J. Bryce (Toronto, Canada) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This film is in the public domain and it has resulted in many different DVD issues, all seemingly taken from different originals and resulting in some poor quality DVDs. There's little in the reviews or packaging to assure us of just which ones are the best. However, the DVD by "Roan Group Archival Entertainment" appears to be among the best. I'm certainly very well-satisfied with the print and sound quality of mine and, without having seen all of them, I can only assume that it's at least one of the better versions, if not THE best. I'd have no hesitation recommending it. Amazon Catalog Number: I393323 ASIN: B00003RQO2 The other reviewers have said it all for me as far as rating the entertainment value of this picture. I found it a thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable little film.
Excellent movie, DVD could be better June 10, 2006 Glenn Derrah (Griswold, CT) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I'm not writing this review to talk about the MOVIE, because everyone else here says how wonderful it is and I completely agree. But about the DVD... I just bought the Roan version, and I must say that the picture is GREAT. Beautiful print, gorgeous colors, perfect contrast, and all the details are visible. My only complaint is the sound - low volume, high-frequency-muffled, and sometimes a little "garbled". I also have a 1-dollar DVD of this movie with washed-out picture and weak colors - like other people here describe the Alpha version - but the sound on THAT one is very good!. If only we could take the soundtrack from the cheapie and marry it to the picture from the Roan, we'd have a first-rate DVD!
