Waltz Time (1945)
Waltz with Me
If you enjoy old Vienna era music and dancing entertainment, then you will love this movie. This movie has it all, romance, comedy, drama, music, and dancing. I also found it to have some suspense in terms of what will happen next. I thought the songs and dancing very refreshing. This movie is reminiscent of another movie named "Spring Parade" starring Deanna Durbin. They both have the same ingredients as well as a beautiful singing Starlet (Empress vs. Peasant Girl). And, apart from the great singing voice of the beautiful Carol Raye, there is the added icing on the cake of the gorgeous Patricia Medina. Yes, it is a plot of Old versus New with added sub-plots of honesty, loyalty and misguided flirting. Don't want to give away any more of the movie plot than already has been. So, I recommend this movie to all who enjoy Viennese music, dancing, singing, the costumes of that era, and lived happily ever after.
The Pride of the Family: Albie Helps the Lovelorn (1954)
Simple but exciting episode.
I really enjoyed this Episode. It has a very simple plot which increases in a dramatic manner and ends with a great finale. In the end, everyone's happy. I actually have this episode in 16mm film reel and DVD. I am a collector and fan of Connie Marshall. I thought that Connie could have been given more lines and made the Episode a bit more interesting. She only had a very few lines. Most of her acting was limited to emotional phrases and expressions. She even cried a bit in Albie's office only to be comforted by Catherine Morrison. I did enjoy watching Connie and Natalie Wood exchange a couple of lines in one scene. This was the second time in their film careers of working together. They had previously appeared together five years earlier in "The Green Promise", 1949. In this episode, "Albie helps the Lovelorn", they had both grown into beautiful young ladies. I would highly recommend watching this episode as it also brings out some interesting lessons of married life and true love. Rudy Carreon
