“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?)

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.
