Just perfect...
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
View MoreAmazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
View MoreFrom the first time I saw it on t.b.s in black and white to later the flat technicolor print,what did I think of the 3D version? gorgeous.The re-creation of the stereo sound was good.The quality of it was a good as the white Christmas stereo sound track.There are different recording styles.The original three soundtrack of the 3D Kiss Me Kate,the dialog went to the left ,right and center along with the sound effects and music,but,this is the original sound track ,not simulation.In this stereo re-creation,I don't know how they were able to re-create it if the multi sound track was missing,the dialog mostly stayed in the center,while the music and special effects,went left to right right to left.Occasionally the dialog would go on the left side ,when Jean Parker, off Camera. lets Gene know about the death of Frank Wilcox,playing Mr.Edmond,that reminds Gene he has to tell Rhonda Fleming and the rest of the family of the old mans death.Another scene where the dialog of Gene Barry voice goes on the left as he enter to another room,where he trying to look for John Kellogg,who killed Rhonda's fathers,then another scene when some of the dogs barking goes on to the left of center but most of the dialog stays in the center.This is probably the way it was recorded.That news paper going straight to the cameras,one of the Strothers sisters,in there song number on the boat,where she coaxes the a passenger to do this,still looks silly.The boat scene where it's floating down the right.The water is inward and the boat is outward ,but, that might have been cause by a technical problem in the camera,at the time.This last a few seconds.The scene in which Agnes Moorehead and her family just arrived in Yukon.When some one shoots a bullet into a wine barrel and the wine come out of the screen,that's effective.When the Yukon dogs pulling the sled goes out to the camera.The scene when the sled was taking the family to Dodson,it looks like the back ground,behind the sled, was a rear screen projector with a flat film for a back ground making the scene less 3d.There was a lot of cheese cake sexiness in this.Teresa Brewer rehearsal for the number,"Baby ,in 3d she looked sexy,but the actual number in 3d ,it was wonderful.That is my favorite number in the film .The acting from Teresa and Guy was good ,since this was there first film.For a low budget film it was pretty good.Barry Nelson was a leading man contract player for paramount,in that period played a bad guy who was not so bad, Johnny Kisco, is good.Although Rhonda Fleming was frustrated that she did not have a music number,her role as the eldest daughter was genuine.That Agnes Moor head who played the prudish mother ,who tries to over protect one of the younger Strothers sisters,is good. In the restoration of the movie ,in the menu,it showed the optical print had become bad where the color would become green tint to orange tint to purple.I thought Technicolor had stable metallic dies,unless this was Eastman color print.Worth collecting and if it available for rent in 3D Blu-ray.com, I think that what the name is ,worth renting. 05/23/17
View MoreParamount's Dollar Bills, William Pine and William Thomas continued putting out films in the Fifties as they did in the Forties for Paramount's B picture unit. Only they were given a bit more bucks to play with and some bigger stars in the Fifties. For Those Redheads From Seattle they got not only color, but also 3-D making it the first musical released in 3-D.With some elements of The Harvey Girls as part of the story, Pine-Thomas could have used some better songs for the score. I noted that several different writers contributed to this one. Usually you have only one team, maybe an interpolation from another writer for the score. But in Those Redheads From Seattle it was all original material. It was like some various songwriting teams just opened the trunk for some unused material and sold it to Paramount.As one of those redheads is Rhonda Fleming who is the oldest of Agnes Moorehead's four daughters who have come to the city of Dawson in the Klondike Gold Rush you certainly have the redhead covered. Agnes is a redhead her and so are Teresa Brewer and the Bell Sisters except one of them is a blond and wonders how she got in this family. No exceptions were allowed in the Day Family in Life With Father. They got a last letter from their husband and father who ran the newspaper in Dawson and is leading a fight to clean up the bad elements in Dawson. Then one of those bad elements plugs Frank Wilcox, but not before his family has pulled up from Seattle to join him. Another of those bad elements is the owner of the largest gambling palace in Dawson Gene Barry. He's thought of as the one responsible for Wilcox no longer being among the living. He has the whole film to prove himself innocent and gain one of the daughters as a bride.Taking care of the musical chores are Guy Mitchell who sings in Barry's establishment and Teresa Brewer who would like to. Nothing here that stands out in the score. 3-D was also used by MGM for Kiss Me Kate. If you can see that in 3-D I'd recommend it before Those Redheads From Seattle.
View MoreThe attractive thing about this movie is the presence of Teresa Brewer, in her only film. So if you're a fan this is a must see. Secondly, how often do you judge a musical as a great movie in itself? The plot is usually there to support the music and the stars. That's the way I look at it, so I'm not hard on it. I know there are fans of Rhonda Fleming too, and the other stars. They appear attractive in color and the music is fine, especially when Teresa is on stage as a showgirl singing Baby Baby Baby. That was a hit for her that year. The Bell Sisters sing one, and so does Guy Mitchell. Teresa also sings Mr Banjo Man and a duet with Guy of It Must Have Been You All The Time. This film has recently been prepared for a 3-D video release that has not occurred, and there have been a couple of limited theatrical preview showings recently. Never been on video. Can be seen online in some places or as a TV recording. As of 2017 there is a DVD and Bluray 3D release. Better get yours before they are out of stock.
View MoreI really like this movie. It is a good story & has a great cast.Theresa Brewer has a wonderful voice and I have always liked Agnes Moorehead. All the girls & the mother have red hair except the youngest & she is a blond. The husband/father was killed & they went to Alaska to settle his affairs. He ran the local newspaper & he wrote an item about the local saloon. One of his men killed the father. They find that there is no money. They are in Alaska, totally broke so they all find ways to earn money. Even the youngest sells kittens to help. It is a wonderful musical.There's the bad guys & the good guys. And each of the girls end up with someone. But Gene Barry plays a bad/good guy.
