Most helpful review There's no Business Like Show Business

  • fantastic musical

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By a customer from Croydon, London , 27 Sep 2004

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    The story of Molly and Terry Donahue and their three children. Tim, played by Donald O'Connor meets hat check girl Marilyn Monroe and the family acts begin falling apart. This was the film I enjoyed most with Marilyn Monroe. This music and songs by Irving Berlin are wonderful, and Ethel Merman, mom, Dan Dailey, father, and Jonny Ray, brother, and Mitzi Gaynor, sister, are a very entertaining family. I will always remember the film for it's great entertainment!

    I have to award this 5 stars. I saw the film in the cinemas when it first came out and it has not lost any of its appeal. I kept this film at home longer than any other love film rental. Mainly to see it over and over.

    The song and dance routines are colourful and full of action. It also follows a logical and excellent story.

  • Still a lovely film

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    This film is still as entertaining as when I first saw it. This story of an old Vaudeville family has great charm if somewhat dated. It certainly has the feel good factor. It is worth watching if only to see Johnny Ray at his best.

  • Nothing Like It

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By a customer from London, England , 14 May 2005
    They certainly don't make them like this anymore. The combination of Irving Berlin's music, Ethel Merman, Marilyn Monroe, Donald O'Connor and Mitzi Gaynor is one that was never going to fail. The musical numbers are spectacular, and the costumes beautiful. My only complaint is that the storyline is a little convoluted and unlikely, but when it all looks this good, it really doesn't matter!
