directed by George Sidney
featuring Janet Leigh, Dick Van Dyke, Ann-Margret, Maureen Stapleton, Bobby Rydell, Paul Lynde

George Sidney's adaptation of the satiric Broadway musical smash by Michael Stewart, Charles Strouse, and Lee Adams -- about an Elvis Presley-inspired rock star, who is drafted into the army and who creates a near-riot in a small Midwestern town when he stops there for one last publicity junket -- takes good-natured swipes at popular culture, rock ...

Kiss Me Kate

Kiss Me Kate (1953) more movies like this

directed by George Sidney
featuring Kathryn Grayson, Howard Keel, Ann Miller, Keenan Wynn, Bobby Van

Cole Porter's Kiss Me Kate is a musical within a musical -- altogether appropriate, since its source material, Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, was a play within a play. Howard Keel and Kathryn Grayson star as famous Broadway singing team who haven't worked together since their acrimonious divorce. Keel, collaborating with Cole Porter ...

directed by George Sidney
featuring Elvis Presley, Ann-Margret, Cesare Danova, William Demarest, Nicky Blair

Viva Las Vegas, one of Elvis Presley's most popular vehicles, adheres as rigidly to formula as a Kabuki dance. Elvis plays a race-car driver competing in the Las Vegas Grand Prix opposite his principal rival, Cesare Danova. To finance his entry, Elvis takes a job as a casino waiter. Naturally, he is occasionally prevailed upon to sing, making one ...

directed by George Sidney
featuring Frank Sinatra, Kathryn Grayson, Gene Kelly, José Iturbi, Dean Stockwell

This mammoth musical is at base the story of two sailors on leave in Hollywood.

Show Boat

Show Boat (1951) more movies like this

directed by George Sidney
featuring Kathryn Grayson, Howard Keel, Ava Gardner, Joe E. Brown, Marge Champion

The third and (to date) last film version of the Edna Ferber/Jerome Kern/Oscar Hammerstein II musical Show Boat falls just short of greatness but is still a whale of a show. Howard Keel and Kathryn Grayson are in fine fettle as irresponsible gambler Gaylord Ravenal and showboat ingenue Magnolia Hawks. The plot adheres closely to the Broadway ...

Thousands Cheer (1943) more movies like this

directed by George Sidney
featuring Kathryn Grayson, Mickey Rooney, Gene Kelly, Judy Garland, Mary Astor, Richard "Red" Skelton, Eleanor Powell, John Boles, Ann Sothern, José Iturbi

Storywise, Thousands Cheer is thin stuff indeed. Insouciant PFC Eddy Marsh (Gene Kelly) wants to put on a Big Show for his fellow serviceman. Along the way, Eddy falls in love with Kathryn Jones (Kathryn Grayson), the daughter of Colonel William Jones (John Boles). End of story. The principal selling angle of Thousands Cheer is the presence in the ...

Annie Get Your Gun

Annie Get Your Gun (1950) more movies like this

directed by George Sidney
featuring Betty Hutton, Howard Keel, Louis Calhern, J. Carrol Naish, Edward Arnold

Judy Garland was originally slated to star in MGM's film version of Irving Berlin's Annie Get Your Gun, but she was forced to pull out of the production due to illness (recently discovered out-takes reveal a gaunt, dazed Garland, obviously incapable of completing her duties). She was replaced by Betty Hutton who, once she overcame the resentment ...

The Eddy Duchin Story (1956) more movies like this

directed by George Sidney

Tyrone Power stars in this tear-jerking biography of the beloved but short-lived pianist and bandleader Eddy Duchin.

However, Eddy is also a skilled piano player, and when he meets pretty socialite Marjorie Oelrichs (Kim Novak) who hears him play, she ...

Ziegfeld Follies (1946) more movies like this

directed by Charles Walters, George Sidney, Lemuel Ayers, Norman Taurog, Robert Lewis, Roy Del Ruth, Vincente Minnelli
featuring Fred Astaire, Lucille Ball, Fanny Brice, Lucille Bremer, Judy Garland, Gene Kelly

The presence of William Powell as legendary showman Flo Ziegfeld at the beginning of Ziegfeld Follies might lead an impressionable viewer from thinking that this 1946 film is a Technicolor sequel to the 1936 Oscar-winning The Great Ziegfeld. Not so: this is more in the line of an all-star revue, much like such early talkies as Hollywood Revue of ...

Half a Sixpence (1967) more movies like this

directed by George Sidney
featuring Tommy Steele, Julia Foster, Cyril Ritchard, Grover Dale, Penelope Horner, Elaine Taylor

British musical star Tommy Steele had starred in Half a Sixpence in London and on Broadway, thus he was first choice for this garish film version. Based on the H.G. Wells story Kipps (previously filmed in 1941 with Michael Redgrave), Half a Sixpence tells the tale of a humble London drapery clerk (Steele) who inherits a fortune. He briefly forgets ...

Jupiter's Darling (1955) more movies like this

directed by George Sidney
featuring Esther Williams, Howard Keel, Marge Champion, Gower Champion, George Sanders

Esther Williams' long association with MGM came to an abrupt end with Jupiter's Darling, which even she will admit was her silliest film. Based on Robert Sherwood's satirical play The Road to Rome, the film cast as Williams as Amytis, fiancee of vacillating Roman statesman Fabius Maximus (George Sanders). When it appears as though the forces of ...

The Red Danube (1949) more movies like this

directed by George Sidney
featuring Walter Pidgeon, Ethel Barrymore, Peter Lawford, Angela Lansbury, Janet Leigh

One of the more palatable of Hollywood's anti-communist tracts of the late 1940s-early 1950s was MGM's The Red Danube. Janet Leigh plays Maria Buhlen, an Eastern Bloc ballerina who seeks political asylum in the British-occupied zone of Vienna. Maria's plight turns into a political tug-of-war involving a British colonel (Walter Pidgeon) and a ...
