The Happiest Millionaire

Rating:
Summary: Just a Plain Feel Good Movie
Review: I don't know about anyone else but seeing Tommy Steele walking the alligator was worth the whole movie not mention the hilarious duet between Gladys Cooper and Geraldine Page. For a couple of hours of sitting in the dark with a big bowl of popcorn on a quiet evening you can't beat this movie.

Summary: I can't beleive this is on video!
Review: I have been waiting for Disney to rerelease this movie for years. This is a great family musical even if it is a little dorky.

Summary: Disney at its best!
Review: I have the belief that Disney is going down the tubes now days. With movies such as "Hocus Pocus", and "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and the deeply disappointing movies such as "Pocahontas" and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" (one that should not have been made at all from my point of veiw, and not fit for children), Disney is very disappointing. THe Happiest Millionaire is just one of those great movies made when movies were kept clean. There is no need of foul language or sex in this movie, you don't even miss them. Tommy Steele was great in this movie, he was witty, funny and charming. Fred MacMurray played the part well, and the paring of Leslie Ann Warren with John Davidson was brilliant. They were just right for the parts, and did them well. Gladys Cooper as the matriarch Aunt Mary, and Geraldine Page as the pompous Mrs. Duke were hilarious in the their duet song "There are Those". The songs in the movie are easy to remember, and fun to listen to. This in one movie (of many, believe me) that my mom and I like to watch together. I believe that you'll recognize Hermione Baddeley as Mrs. Worth, who, when Mr. Drexel Biddle told her "I could be dying!", replied with out batting an eye, "Indeed you could." (Baddeley played the maid who was always fighting with the cook in Mary Poppins.) This movie is one of a kind, and entirely true, based on the book, My Philadelphia Father, by Cordelia Drexel Biddel.

Summary: disney at it's best
Review: i just screened the road show edition for the first time....Garson Sings....they cut her song out of the screen version we saw at the movie houses in 1967....along with other scenes they should have left in to make the movie come together better. i'm pleased these are restored as promised in the road show edition only...i finally know how the movie ends...i always felt as if i had turned my head for a second.. and lost 20 minutes of the story..thanks to this version you walk away with the knowledge of a disney happily ever after ending, as it should be...thank you for restoring what was lost to us so many years ago.....it is a very good film...enjoy.

Summary: LOVED IT!!!
Review: I LOVE THIS MOVIE. I GREW UP WATCHING IT ALMOST EVERY DAY. I TOO WOULD LIKE TO SEE "THE ONE AND ONLY GUENUINE ORIGINAL FAMILY BAND" ALSO STARRING LESLEY-ANN WARREN. IT TOO WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. THE MUSIC IN THE HAPPIEST MILLIONAIRE IS FUN. ESPECIALLY "I'LL ALWAYS BE IRISH". AFTER HEARING THAT SONG I FIND MYSELF SINGING IT FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. I ALSO LOVE THE ALLIGATORS. I AM A REPTILE LOVER MYSELF. I RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE TO EVERYONE, AND HOPE MY OWN DAUGHTER WILL LOVE IT AS MUCH AS I DO. THANK YOU GRANDMA FOR INTRODUCING ME TO SUCH A WONDERFUL, FUN FILLED MOVIE, AND FOR BROADENING MY HORIZON.

Summary: Fun and silly
Review: I remember catching this on the Disney channel back in the 80s and LOVED it! It was fun and just down right silly. I loved the music and a woman I had NEVER seen before and fell in love with, Lesley Ann Warren. I soon began to always remember this film due to her. I also really enjoyed most of Fred MacMurray's films from this time period also. A time that films were fun and innocent, or at least MORE innocent then the films now.

Summary: Terr-r-rific!!!
Review: I saw this movie on late night Disney a few nights ago, and was so impressed, I hunted it down by the stars name, because I couldn't remember the title. Who says there has to be a terrific plot?? So sorry to hear it was buried in a vault for years because of bad reviews. I collect musicals and definately plan to add this delightful movie to my collection...

Summary: I FELT LIKE A *HAPPY MILLIONIARE* IN SPIRIT
Review: I truly love this movie. The movies from Disney have become dissappointing for quite some time. It is hard to use Disney as a safe-guard to have our families safely watch as wholesome entertainment. But The Happiest Millionaire was of an era when families were together in laughter and a togetherness without having to hold the remote to stop the language,or change the channel due to sex. The actors were made for the part. Tommy Steele has always been a favorite of mine and he hasn't let me down in this romp of a film.Fred McMurray,though alittle short on singing skills, still gave it his heart. The songs are simple and strong and i find myself humming and singing each tune. Thank you ,i will enjoy this movie with my family for long times to come. This is a film we shall never tire of.
