4.0 out of 5 stars TECHNICOLOR MUSICOMEDY, August 29, 2002

This review is from: Easy to Wed [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A fairly entertaining musical with a fun-filled cast. Esther Williams plays the beautiful rich playgirl who brings a massive lawsuit down on the head of newspaperman Keenan Wynn, who had printed an unflattering article about her lavish, irresponsible lifestyle. In order to win the case, Wynn hires suave Johnson (a former employee with the same newspaper) to win over Williams so she will drop the charges. Naturally, everything goes haywire... While this film can't hold a candle to original 1936 film LIBELED LADY, of which this is a re-make, it gave Lucille Ball one of her best comedy showcases in the movies in her role as Gladys Benton. The colour photography is quite good and the songs are amusing if a bit corny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lucy sparkles!, May 22, 2000

Lucy was absolutely spectacular in this movie! Even though her character was a stupid, gullible one, she played it wonderfully. I feel bad saying that, but it was her character, not her, and it shows how versatile she was and how many characters she could portray. Lucille Ball was born to be in Technicolor! She looks radiant with her flaming red hair, intense blue eyes, and her four corner, blood red mouth. She looks so beautiful in this movie. She and Van Johnson have such great chemistry together. This movie gave us a peek at her comic ability and what was in store for us in the years to come, but it also showed that Lucy was not limited to comedy. It's a wonder why MGM didn't see her talent and cast her in A movies. This is a great movie and Lucy is even better!

A must see for any Lucille Ball fan. You can't seem to take your eyes off her. She is radiant in this film. The color is bright and vivid. The drunken scene with Van Johnson is great and quite possibly one of her best comedic performances. I strongly suggest this film.
