Young at Heart (1954)
A hear warming drama/musical with terrific standards
For lovers of musical/dramas this movie would rate at the top of anyone's list. And for Doris Day and Frank Sinatra fans - revel in the opportunity of seeing the only movie they ever made together. You have to wonder why they were never teamed again. Doris was at her absolute peak during her Warner Bros years in this movie. Beautifully photographed and singing to absolute perfection she dazzles with her brilliance. Frank is perfectly cast as the 'down on his luck' singer and piano player who wows us with several wonderful standards that were among his best. All the supporting players were perfectly cast. Especially the wonderful Ethel Barrymore who can do more with a glance than most actors can do with reams of dialogue. This picture is guaranteed to capture your heart.
Chop Suey (2001)
Among other things a wonderful tribute to the great singer Frances Faye
This movie came out briefly in one theater in Los Angeles and then disappeared. Why I don't know, because it was a fascinating look back into the gay life in the 50's and 60's when everything was kind of hidden and hush-hush. The other fantastic thing about it was its focus on the great singer Frances Faye. Mention her name now and most people would have a blank look on their faces - which is too bad because this great talent deserves more recognition. I just can't understand WHY this movie hasn't been released on DVD. Something is wrong because every other film -good and bad- eventually is put on DVD. This film is GOOD..........so come on guys - get it out there!!!!!!
