PERILS OF PAULINE, THE(1947)
As stated below, this is not entirely correct
historically, but it is a very enjoyable movie!!
Not really a comedy, but a light drama! Well worth
watching! B-
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
OK, so this film was never going to be nominated
for an Oscar, but for plain entertainment value it
has to get 10 out of 10. Although historically
inaccurate; this film about the silent movie queen
Pearl White, is the perfect showcase for the
effervescent Betty Hutton's remarkable talents.
The difference in singing style between the
gentle 'I Wish I Didn't Love You So' and the
bulldozer of a number 'Rumble, Rumble, Rumble'
just goes to show how versatile she is as a
singer. In the film she plays an actress of
rather limited ability, which is very far
from the truth. Betty Hutton was a great
actress in her day; a far better actress
than she was given credit for. Betty Hutton
is still alive and living in Palm Springs.
I love her dearly and wish her the very best
of health and happiness. - jim-1140
