I LOVE this movie - I have ever since I saw it for the first time. When I found that it was available on DVD, I had to get one for my sister for Christmas - and one for myself. The costumes by the fabulous Edith Head, the sets - the stars!!
Who could ask for more than to have Gene Kelly, Dick Van Dyke, Dean Martin, Paul Newman, Bob Cummings, Robert Mitchum, and the fantastic Shirley MacLaine all in one luscious film?
I love it!
We watched it on New Year's Eve. That cute Bob Cummings always did make my heart flutter. He was into healthy eating and execise back when everyone else was smoking and drinking up a storm. What a wonderful cast of handsome men!!! And I am so glad that they didn't really hit oil in the end, but I hope the oil company paid for the cleanup and they got their field back in good shape for planting. Thank you so much. Love T
ReplyDeleteI've loved this movie forever! It defined the summer I was 9 years old, I probably watched it ever day.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I don't think I've ever heard of this movie--which makes me feel very left out! I love all of the actors in it, too! I will have to see if I can get it on my NetFlix list. Thanks for bringing it to my attention ;-)
ReplyDeleteHeidi, it was so very lovely to see you a few weeks back--you looked great! Wish we could've had a little more time, but hey, I'll take what I can get. Love ya! Kari
Looks like a must have for sure!
ReplyDeleteGetting caught up...enjoying your treasures!
UPDATE--I just watched this movie yesterday, and loved it! I am so glad I learned about it--thanks, Heidi!!
ReplyDeletePS-was that Shirley MacLaine a hottie or what?? She had the most fabulous bod, she looked so beautiful in all of those gorgeous costumes!
I went back to the beginning of your blog today because I love it so much and saw this post. The entire movie is on YouTube so I'm watching it today. I LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing!
