5.0 out of 5 stars First Eddie Cantor release on DVD, November 26, 2005

By

This review is from: Kid Millions (DVD)

This will be, if released, the first Eddie Cantor film released on the DVD format. Hey -- it's only taken 7 years or so.

Kid Millions is one of Eddie's best - perhaps *the* best. The standard, at best, is tremendous and the film better maintains a high quality than perhaps any of his other vehicles. Of course, each will have his favourite.

Ann Sothern and George Murphy are both charming. Warren Hymer, Berton Churchill and Paul Harvey provide superb character support. Ethel Merman turns in a much more enjoyable role than that of the later STRIKE ME PINK (again alonside Cantor) would allow; she reveals a natural ability for comedy not always seen in her film roles.

Cantor is ... Cantor (which is to say marvellous!)

The film also has one of the earliest examples of three-strip technicolor in the final scene ... and very pretty it looks too.

I haven't seen the DVD yet, so the rating is for the movie. Hopeful the DVD publisher will do the film justice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding musical comedy!, March 13, 2000

This review is from: Kid Millions [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Looking for a classic 'old Hollywood' comedy to sit and empty a bowl of popcorn while watching? Look no further. This one's got it all; great characters, screwball situations, wonderful songs (from showstoppers to romantic tunes) and many a great star. Wonderful stuff for people who like old movies.

4.0 out of 5 stars PLEASANT DIVERSION, January 24, 2000

By 

"scotsladdie" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kid Millions [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A simplistic script about Cantor inheriting $77 million from his archaeologist father is just an excuse for some sight gags and wonderful musical numbers (seven songs altogether). Merman is terrific and nearly steals the show from Cantor. Sothern and Murphy are fine as the the young romantic couple (they sing "Your Head on My Shoulder"). The final number, "Ice Cream Fantasy" was filmed in Technicolor. Be sure to catch young Lucille Ball as one of the Goldwyn Girls during the dance number which takes place in a Brooklyn ice cream factory!
