Review of There's No Business Like Show Business (1954) by Bill C — 29 Sep 2009
I give this movie 3 stars only because of Marilyn Monroe. She really doesn't belong in this movie. She seems so much more modern than the rest of the cast that it seems she must of come out of some kind of time warp, but as usual, once she's grabbed the camera, she doesn't let go.
Her musical numbers are fabulous. Ethel Merman is always fun, but I have always thought she and Dan Dailey make an odd couple. I also could never understand what Marilyn would see in Donald O'Connor.
Johnnie Ray's presence adds nothing to the movie. Enough already with Alexander's Ragtime Band.
