Audience Member Excellent movie that grabs and keeps your attention. Betty Hutton is perfectly cast and has the voice of an angel in this one. John Lund is good as the proud early twentieth century boyfriend, and the Hollywood ending does not detract from the plot. An A+ movie. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Hutton is the reason 2 check out this musical bio-pic-of sorts Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Paramount's fantasy retelling of the "life" of silent screen star Pearl White was one of Hutton's best films; amusing and fast-moving with a Frank Loesser score that includes "Papa Don't Preach to Me" and the Oscar-nominated "I Wish I Didn't Love You So." Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Watch Betty "Rumble, Rumble, Rumble"...--A sparkling Betty Hutton and supporting cast in a very entertaining movie!! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A film that is somewhat based in the true story of actress Pearl White who became queen of the movie serial. In this adaption Pearl White is played to a physical perfection by Betty Hutton, this film is a musical as well but it's Pearl White's story that is the most captivating. The actress was so incredible physically & although this is very Hollywood Re-telling it does highlight keys parts of her career. Sadly only 9 of the 20 serial episodes have survived from the original 1914 series. A fun colour film that is easy watching & flows fast & simply a bit of fun. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member What a remarkably entertaining little film loosely based on the life of silent screen star Pearl White. Betty Hutton gives a lively, sympathetic performance. John Lund is the aloof unemotional object of Pearl's affections. Frank Loesser's score is beautiful. Especially the movie's theme song 'I Wish I Didn't Love You So' which Betty performs so tenderly. This movie deserves mention as a classic. If you get a chance have a look at it. It is fast paced but there time in places for a little fun and sentiment. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
