Stage Door (1937)

92 mins     Comedy, Drama      

"Stage Door" not only has a stellar cast featuring Ginger Rogers, Katharine Hepburn, Eve Arden, Ann Miller, Lucille Ball, Andrea Leeds and Adolphe Menjou it is also a stellar movie. On first look it appears to be a comedy abo...

Cover Girl (1944)

107 mins     Comedy, Musical, Romance      

"Cover Girl" can be summed up by making a few quick observations. The first of which is that as the star of the movie Rita Hayworth unfortunately doesn't have a great deal to do in this movie other than looking gorgeous from ...

One Touch of Venus (1948)

82 mins     Comedy, Fantasy, Musical, Romance      

Whilst known as the inspiration for 80s romantic fantasy "Mannequin", "One Touch of Venus" itself is inspired by a Broadway musical comedy. I say inspired intentionally because in making "One Touch of Venus" the number of mus...

Tea for Two (1950)

94 mins     Comedy, Musical, Romance

Grease (1978)

So put to the back of your mind that the cast were long past being the age of high school kids, and what you have is one very enjoyable and popular musical. Now having reached its 30s, "Grease" still appeals to audiences both...

Grease 2 (1982)

115 mins     Comedy, Drama, Musical      

I wonder what it must have been like to watch "Grease 2" first, maybe those who did found it a great experience with all these fun characters and big musical numbers. Maybe those who saw it first and loved it were bemused and...
