Set decades before the brassy, bustling contemporary Busby Berkeley musicals to follow three years later, 1930's period pre-code musical The Florodora Girl might also be called Gold Diggers of 1900. Sharpie showgirls of the Florodora Sextette cast their nets wide for rich husbands while advising (with plummy double-entendre aplomb) their beau-less chorus-mate Daisy Dell (radiant Marion Davies) in the finer points of man-trapping. Making a beach party splash, the naive beauty catches the eye of...

Less than a decade after its three season stint on television, Gilligan's Island reigned supreme as a smash syndication success story. Picking up new fans each and every year, with scores of them being the after-school crowd, a revival via animation was a Gilligan-apropos no-brainer (sorry, little buddy!). And said revival comes with nearly a full complement of original castaways! Thanks to the returning talents of Bob Denver (Gilligan), Alan Hale, Jr. (the Skipper), Jim Backus (Thurston...

Father Don Mario has pledged obedience and celibacy. Alas, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Especially when lovely Valeria Billi sets her dark brown eyes and romantic designs on him. Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni show why they are among the screen's most celebrated duos in this film that's part romantic comedy, part exploration of human and clerical frailties and 100% shiny star vehicle produced by Loren's filmmaker husband Carlo Ponti. Loren, The New York Times later...

It's all for one and fun for all as Maureen O'Hara wields a blade as sharp as her wits in this rollicking Technicolor adventure.

A movie matchup for the ages starts here. This first of five teamings of velvet-voiced Irene Dunne and composer Jerome Kern is a lushly tuneful Gay Nineties musical about the trials of Adeline Schmidt (Dunne), a singer who could rise from headlining at her father's Hoboken beer garden to starring on Broadway -- if she can straighten out her love life.
