Average Rating: (3.3 out of 5 stars) 3.5 stars

3 stars Something to Like
While the story line and the music are not the greatest in the American musicals catalog, the acting (especially that of Betty Garrett, Jack Lemmon and Dick York) and the superb dance numbers choreographed by--and often featuring--Bob Fosse, make this film well worth the viewing.

4 stars Great fun with 'My Sister Eileen"
Very enjoyable comedy with Betty Garrett, Jack Lemmon & Janet Leigh. Wacky characters in & out of their NY basement apartment.

This lush and beautifully photographed production of Louisa May Alcott's beloved novel contains more star power than any of its predecessors or successors in the 20th century. The setting is Concord, Massachusetts, during the Civil War, and Marmee Marach (Mary Astor) is attempting to raise her four teenage daughters in a time of deprivation and with her husband away fighting the war. June Allyson (THE GLENN MILLER STORY, THE STRATTON STORY) stars as Jo, the tomboy bookworm. Margaret O'Brien plays the selfless and tragic Beth. ...

My Sister Eileen review
CD $15.89  4.4 stars Audio Samples
Music composed by Jule Styne. Lyrics written by Stephen Sondheim. The 1962 movie version of the 1959 Broadway musical hit Gypsy was one of those classic Hollywood botch jobs, although not for the usual reason, a manhandled score. No, the song list was intact. The problem was casting, with Rosalind Russell replacing Ethel Merman, but unable to fill her shoes vocally, leading to extensive dubbing by Lisa Kirk, while Natalie Wood, another non-singer, was replaced vocally by Marni Nixon. The soundtrack album did not match the released film, either, with Wood restored and Kirk taking even more of Russell's parts. It turns out that Russell pre-recorded her songs, even though she didn't get to sing most of them on-screen, and this reissue belatedly adds her performances of "Some People," "Small World," and "Everything's Coming Up Roses," along with the screen version of "Rose's Turn," a mixture of Russell and Kirk. The result will be of interest to show music and film music buffs, but they are less likely to be pleased than newly outraged that Merman didn't get to play her most memorable stage role on film. If there was any doubt that the music was beyond Russell's abilities, the newly unearthed tracks remove it. Russell struggles to approximate the correct notes in tempo, and doesn't always succeed. Forget articulation or any sense of characterization. Also, her distinct New England accent comes off as too upper crust for the character she is supposed to be playing. Certainly, the decision to replace ...

Magic Of Diahann Carroll CD  (2005)

My Sister Eileen video
CD $11.59  Audio Samples
DRG's The Magic of Diahann Carroll is a two-fer CD reissue of the two Carroll LPs that United Artists Records released in 1960, the studio set Diahann Carroll and André Previn (UAS-6069) and the live album Diahann Carroll at the Persian Room (UAS-6080). Despite being only 24-years-old when these albums were made, Carroll was a show business veteran who had launched her nightclub career in her teens after winning first place on the TV talent show Chance of a Lifetime, then appeared on Broadway (House of Flowers) and on-screen (Carmen Jones) before turning 20. Her stint on United Artists (which had already included an LP of songs from Porgy and Bess, reflecting her appearance in the 1959 film version, also featuring Previn) followed one on RCA Victor (Sings Harold Arlen Songs [1957], Best Beat Forward [1958]) and preceded one on Atlantic (Fun Life [1961]) before she returned to Broadway for a Tony-winning turn in No Strings (1962), did more recording for Disque D'Or ('A' You're Adorable [1965]) and Columbia (Nobody Sees Me Cry [1967]), and, of course, became a sitcom star (Julia [1968-71]). The Previn album, which features bassist Red Mitchell and drummer Frank Capp, is full of standards and show tunes by the likes of George Gershwin, Cole Porter, and Richard Rodgers that Carroll handles effectively, leaving room for the rhythm section, particularly Previn on the piano, to solo frequently. It's a low-key, torchy set for the most part, with occasional up-tempo moments, notably "I Should Care." This is in contrast to the live material that follows, recorded at New York's Plaza Hotel on February 4, 1960. Here, Carroll ...
