CONNECTICUT YANKEE”

 

Stylishly directed, picturesquely photographed and brilliantly acted  Crosby's interpretation seems exactly right, Hardwicke has his best role ever, while Bendix is a treat too  this Yankee's appeal is universal and irresistible.

One of the principal joys of the movie, of course, are the songs. As might be expected, Bing is in fine voice. And although Hardwicke's solo has been cut, we can still hear him sing heartily as he dances merrily with Crosby and Bendix in their famous novelty number, "Busy Doing Nothing". It's also a treat to hear Rhonda Fleming, who, although she enjoyed an extensive stage and concert career as a singer, was rarely given a chance to be heard in the cinema. She has a lovely voice that more than matches her ravishing beauty….OMG  she looks very fetching indeed in her Mary Kay Dodson costumes.

Director Tay Garnett gets the most out of his lavish budget, using all the resources at his command to present every fabulous scene as effectively as possible. (Perhaps the eclipse looks a trifle too contrived, but who's complaining?)

PLEASE NOTE: I am a very fussy collector of film, and believe that full disclosure is the only policy.

HERE IS WHAT I WOULD WANT TO KNOW IF I WERE BUYING THIS PRINT!!!

Release Date 1948

Running time Approximately 120 minutes  ON 2x 2000 Foot Reels !

There is no vinegar smell The FILM STOCK IS   EASTMAN

The pictures provided here are directly taken from the print itself, and are accurate to the color of the print.  

  The pictures were taken by a low priced digital camera, so that the pictures here unfortunately appear a little unfocused compared to the actual sharpness and contrast of the print for sale. The sound is booming and crystal clear.

 

VERY CLEAN PRINT only flaw is the color…But for some reason I always have no problem with these EPIC PERIOD FILMS in a sepia tint!

 

Great fun to watch on the BIG SCREEN.
