Noah G This Disney movie was the most longest showtime of the year, I've got an Idea! Disney has originally released in stereo, how about you can re-release this longest movie of the 1960s and upgrade it to 4k, with Dolby Vision and upmix it in Dolby Atmos using AI? Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/09/24 Full Review Steve D Not the least bit amusing. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/17/24 Full Review Dale R Fred MacMurray plays Anthony Drexel Biddle, a millionaire based in Philadelphia who is having difficulties becoming an empty nester. Based on a real person and a book written by his daughter, Cordelia Drexel Biddle, called My Philadelphia Father. That book was adapted into a play, which in turn was adapted into this musical, and this is a full musical with overture, intermission and a three hour run time. The lead actors do a great job of creating likable characters. The music is written by the Sherman Brothers and is fun and well composed. Though, there aren't many memorable songs. The choreography is spotty with some good sequences and some that do not draw your attention or go on for too long. If you are in for the ride, this movie musical is worth a watch.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review r 9 172 minutes. Why? When all is said and done, the run time is the main reason why I rate this low. With that said, I literally had to spend a good amount of time deciding what rating I was going to give it. On the one hand, sure it lasts for way too long but never once, to be honest, did it drag or did I feel seriously bored. However, on the other hand, I have absolutely zero that I can say I liked or enjoyed about it. I'm not a major fan of musicals either, so I'd assume I'd hate this and yet I don't. It's an odd feeling, it leaves a weird impression that's for sure. Fred MacMurray is his usual self, delivering a very solid performance. Away from him, Greer Garson (Cordelia), Tommy Steele (John) and John Davidson (Angier) are all OK. The plot that they all take part in is average, not great nor terrible. 'The Happiest Millionaire' is truly a strange one to me. If they had shaved an hour off then perhaps I would've liked this? Who knows. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member One of my favorites from my youth---the music is wonderful. The performances of Tommy Steele, Lesley Ann Warren and John Davidson were so energetic and vocally great. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
