With this all-star Cinerama epic, producer/director Stanley Kramer vowed to make "the comedy that would end all comedies."

There's No Business Like Show Business (1954) more movies like this

directed by Walter Lang
featuring Ethel Merman, Donald O'Connor, Marilyn Monroe, Dan Dailey, Johnnie Ray

Like Alexander's Ragtime Band (1938), 20th Century-Fox's There's No Business Like Show Business is a "catalogue" film, its thinnish plot held together by an itinerary of Irving Berlin tunes. The story chronicles some twenty years in the lives of a showbiz family, headed by Dan Dailey and Ethel Merman. Two of the couple's three grown children -- ...

We're Not Dressing

We're Not Dressing (1934) more movies like this

directed by Norman Taurog
featuring Bing Crosby, Carole Lombard, George Burns, Gracie Allen, Ethel Merman

We're Not Dressing is a bouncy musical-comedy variation of J. M. Barrie's The Admirable Crichton -- complete with a happier ending, as befitting its jaunty star Bing Crosby. Der Bingle is cast as Stephen Jones, a lowly crew member on yacht owned by wealthy Doris Worthington (Carole Lombard). During one memorable voyage, Doris' inebriated Uncle ...

directed by Roy Del Ruth
featuring Sonja Henie, Don Ameche, Jean Hersholt, Ethel Merman, Cesar Romero

Happy Landing was another Sonja Henie moneyspinner from the 20th Century-Fox film factory. The story gets under way when skirt-chasing bandleader Duke Sargent (Cesar Romero) pitches woo to Trudy Ericksen (Sonja Henie) while on a tour of Norway. To Duke, it's just another harmless flirtation, but Trudy takes him seriously and trails him back to the ...
