Review

After being gone from Mexico City for some time, Cholita (portrayed by Ann Ayars) is coming home to resume her duties as the head manager of a rancho. Everyone expects her to marry her childhood sweetheart, Jose (portrayed by George Negrete). These expectations are dashed when she arrives with a new fiancée, Fernando (portrayed by George Givot.) Jose as well as Cholita’s uncle are more than a little upset over this turn of events since Jose is not Mexican as well as the fact that he is somewhat of a city slicker.

Webmaster note - I do believe my reviewer slept through this movie as his review seems to have been lifted from that of Les Adams at IMDB

Review

For those who are big John Wayne fans, you won’t want to miss this one. This film marks Wayne’s foray back into production after The Alamo. The "Duke" plays George Washington McLintock, who has worked to build an empire out in the wilderness while fighting off Indians and at the same time working to earn their respect. He has been a timber baron, miner and cattle king and has now had a town named after him, which he pretty much rules. He helps those who need it and isn’t afraid to take his fists to those who don’t measure up to his own standard of conduct. Since his wife (played by Maureen O’Hara) left him two years previously because she suspected he was cheating on her, he has been living the single life on his ranch. McLintock hires a cook to work on his ranch. She happens to be a beautiful widow.

He also welcomes her two children onto his ranch at the same time. This leads to a hilarious and adventuresome round of action involving an Indian attack, brawls and gunfire as well as the return of the long absent Mrs. McLintock, claiming she wants a divorce and custody of her daughter Becky. As his wife continues to demand a divorce, the tough McLintock finds he has no choice but to duke it out with her. Meanwhile, their daughter is falling in love with the new housekeeper’s son. This wildly funny comedy is loosely based as a Western adaptation of “The Taming of the Shrew.”

As some of John Wayne’s movies tend to go, this film tends to lean toward the side of being too overtly political, making a few digs at big government (as if it didn't deserve them); including a swipe at Senator Hubert H. Humprhey, who at the time, was a liberal symbol of government. The film could certainly have done with less musical numbers and the script could have used a few touch ups but it is amusing enough in it’s own right.

Title - Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter
Starring - John Lupton, Narda Onyx, Cal Bolder, Jim Davis, Estelita Rodriguez
Directed by - William Beaudine
Producer(s) - Carrol Case
Screenwriter(s) - Carl Hittleman

Review

We begin this film finding Jesse James hiding away in Frankenstein’s daughter’s castle. Earlier his partner had been shot during a stagecoach robbery and he is no doubt on the lamb now. It turns out that all the villagers in the town have left and the Frankensteins are about the only family left in town. All of the other young people of the town seem to have died from rather questionable circumstances.

After Hank, James’ partner, was shot during the robbery, they meet up with Juanita who takes them to the Frankenstein house for medical treatment. Maria is running very low on artificial brains and doesn’t have anyway to make anymore since the secret formula hasn’t been known since Frankenstein himself died. So, Maria decides to experiment on Hank and turns him into a zombie.

Meanwhile Juanita can’t decide who she likes more, Hank or Jesse. To get Jesse out of the way Maria sends him out into an ambush so she can have Hank to herself for the experiments. In the end the local marshal and Jesse, an unlikely combination if there ever was one, team up to try and save Hank.

While the storyline is definitely interesting, you’ll also find the commentary quite interesting as well. You’ll learn a lot of interesting facts about the director as well as the actors in the film and the movie itself from the commentary. 

Title - Royal Wedding

Directed by - Stanley Donen
Producer(s) - Arthur Freed
Screenwriter(s) - Alan Jay Lerner

Review

If you’re a Fred Astaire fan you’ll absolutely love this film. We travel along with a brother and sister dance team, Tom and Ellen Bowen. After their show closes in New York, their agent books them for a gig in London at exactly the same time as the Royal Wedding. During their travel to London by cruise ship, Ellen (played by Jane Powell) meets Lord John Brindale and becomes involved with him. As a result, she ends up missing a rehearsal. Meanwhile her brother Tom (played by Astaire) puts on a scene where he is dancing with some gym equipment and a hat rack.

After they actually arrive, auditions are held and it is during this time that Tom meets a woman named Sara. As time progresses both siblings have some quandaries over their romantic interests. There are plenty of dance scenes featuring the dapper and skilled Astaire, including a scene where he dances on the ceiling and the walls of his hotel room.

Like most films of this genre, it has a happy ending and leaves everyone feeling happy and satisfied. Not only are the dance numbers fabulous, but there is also plenty of light comedy to keep you amused all the way throughout the film. In addition, the musical score is one that you will treasure for a long time, as with most classic movies. A few of the songs in the film include “Ev’ry Night at Seven,” “Sunday Jumps,” “Open Your Eyes,” “The Happiest Day of My Life” and “How Could you Believe Me When I Said I Love You When you Know I’ve Been a Liar All My Life.”
