5.0 out of 5 stars
Superstars galore pay tribute to Grable, THE superstar!,
By Tom McGee (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Biography - Betty Grable: Behind the Pin-Up [VHS] (VHS Tape)
A loving, almost totally accurate biog on one of Hollywood's original superstars. Tributes galore from co-workers and friends, including Debbie Reynolds, Alice Faye, Jane Withers, Carol Burnett and tributes from fans and friends, including Hugh Heffner, Mike Levitt and Bob Isoz. However, I was disappointed that daughters Vicki or Jessica did not contribute to this glowing tribute.Rare early shots of Betty (in films like "Happy Days, 1930) right up to her last screen appearance in 1955. Best moments are of Grable visiting vets hospitals during WW2, and having fun with servicemen at the Hollywood Canteen. Also rare footage of Grable between scenes, out-takes, and having fun at an army base with Rita Hayworth.Her romantic affairs are also well represented, including Jackie Coogan and George Raft. Her career is extended to include her many tv shows and stage appearances, especially "Hello, Dolly!" Most honest and moving moments are when Debbie Reynolds is onscreen talking about Betty's troubles in her marriage to Harry James. A gem of a biography. |
