»rank: 3260
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Cary Grant and Sophia Loren look just swell together in Houseboat, and why shouldn't they?

»rank: 15518
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Danny Kaye shows off his keen musical sense in the lead role of The Five Pennies, the life story of cornet master Red Nichols--or at least the Hollywood version of Nichols'd life. The movie gets off to a kicky start as Nichols joins a big-city band, meets his future wife (Barbara Bel Geddes), and sits in on a speakeasy session with Louis Armstrong. Armstrong's in the movie a lot, and there are smaller roles for other musical names such as Bob Crosby and Ray Anthony. The tunes include a ...
