Rainbow 'Round My Shoulder: Review

starstarstarstar
Screenwriters Blake Edwards and Richard Quine (who also directed) didn't provide much to get excited about in this oft-told tale of a young gal trying to break into show biz. Austin plays the gal who, despite the protestations of her society-bred aunt Moore, sneaks off and gets a job as a messenger at one of the Hollywood studios, with the hope of being discovered. She is, of course, and soon she is slated to sing in the new Laine picture. Moore finds out and is horrified, so Laine and Daniels offer to provide the entertainment for Moore's upcoming charity ball, to prove that Hollywood types aren't all bad. The highlight of this musical is the rare chance to catch a glance of the once prominent Columbia back lot. Songs include: "There's a Rainbow Round My Shoulder" (Dave Dreyer, Billy Rose, Al Jolson), "Bye Bye Blackbird" (Mort Dixon, Ray Henderson), "She's Funny That Way" (Neil Moret, Richard Whiting), "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams" (Harry Barris, Ted Koehler, Billy Moll), "The Last Rose of Summer" (Thomas Moore, R.A. Milliken), "Wonderful, Wasn't It?" (Hal David, Don Rodney), "Girl in the Wood" (Neal Stuart, Terry Gilkyson), "Pink Champagne" (Bob Wright, George Forrest). leave a comment
