Editorial Reviews

Sentenced to 30 days cooling his heels in the Duck Creek cooler for speeding, Manhattan playboy Rick Belrow Livingston (Farley Granger) decides he doesn't like anything about small towns...until he meets small town girl Cindy Kimbell (Jane Powell). The stars make charming lovers, but the film belongs to Busby Berkeley, whose inspired dance direction guides some of the most famed moments in movie-musical history: I've Got to Hear That Beat, with Ann Miller whirling her fabulous legs around a floor of disembodied hands playing musical instruments, and human-pogo stick Bobby Van's jaw-dropping, gravity-defying hop through town to the tune of Take Me to Broadway.

3.0 out of 5 stars 4 stars for the stars, 2 for the film, September 1, 2000

This review is from: Small Town Girl [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is another MGM musical in which you just ignore the plot and enjoy the numbers. Ann Miller - "I Gotta Hear That Beat"...Nat King Cole - "My Flaming Heart"...Bobby Van "Take Me to Broadway". Jane Powell was getting too old to continue playing the innocent maiden, but as usual turns in a good performance despite the material. Billie Burke, Glinda of the WIZARD OF OZ and Fay Wray, of KING KONG fame round out the cast.
