5.0 out of 5 stars Family Fare, October 31, 2003

This review is from: Mother Wore Tights [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie is an all time favorite for my children and me. Great family "values" with close family trying to stay together despite parents' jobs in show business and adolescent girls not wanting "to be seen" with parents. Much warmth with fabulous, uplifting old vaudeville tunes--great singing and dancing--kids of all ages love it. It is so obvious that there was strong, mutual admiration between Dan Dailey and Betty Grable.

5.0 out of 5 stars How prettily Grable ages from a teenager to a grandma!, July 27, 1999

This review is from: Mother Wore Tights [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Shock: This film opens with a shot of Betty Grable in a rocking-chair busily knitting! But not for long! We are quickly whipped back in time to the end-of-term musical at Oakland High, and there is Grable, a lovely, leggy teenager dancing her heart out.

This was the first teaming of Grable and Dan Dailey and he proved a lively partner. The couple hit it off right away and their screen charm came over well in this touching family story of the problems this vaudeville pair had bringing up a family while still 'on the road.' Betty and Dan fairly romp through some fine singing and dancing. Easily one of Betty's finest movies.

This movie has given my daughter and I hours of fun! The dance scenes make your feet tap and the songs are sweet. I love to watch the chemistry between Betty Grable and her co-stars. The children are fun and good actresses themselves.The values taught are still great for today! It's great to see Senior Wenses with his hand puppet! I love this movie!A mother/daughter favorite!
