Monday Serenade: Jane Powell in The Girl Most Likely (1958)
I adore Jane Powell. Everything about her twinkles, from her trilling voice to her friendly eyes (though they did often have a slightly melancholy look to them). Here she sings I Don't Know What I Want in the 1958 musical The Girl Most Likely.
I haven't seen it, but I've heard it is less than thrilling. Jane Powell is always charming, but studios weren't spending as much money on musicals at this point, and I guess it showed in the production quality. I'd still love to see it.
"The Girl Most Likely" isn't one of Jane's best movies, but I did enjoy it. Also, it sure beats the socks off "Two Weeks With Love" (not that it takes much to do that). If you get a chance to watch it, it's worth the time.
Amanda--sounds like something worth seeing if I get the opportunity. Thakns for letting me know. (I've heard terrible things about Two Weeks With Love!)
Great clip. Is this a good movie?

ReplyDeleteThe movie is cute, i like the "where ya from dancing at the pier", it's a little corny but a good one to watch on a rainy sunday!
