The Vagabond Lover
RKO, 1929, B/W, 66 minutes, ***
Released December, 1929
Rudy Vallee croons his way through a zany musical about an amateur musician
in search of work who impersonates a big band leader. With Sally Blaine, Marie Dressler.
Fun (and funny) musical comedy. A very early talkie - the sound is quite good, though the
mixing is rather poor, since there were probably very few microphones in use, and microphones
of that era were not very sensitive. Good example of early sound in film. Some of the acting
(especially Vallee's) is atrocious, unintentionally adding to the comedy. But Marie Dressler
is a scream, as always! Good storyline made all the more interesting by a glimpse of a period
long gone (nearly 80 years ago), its historical significance and Rudy Vallee's music.

The Vanishing Virginian
MGM, 1942, B/W, 97 minutes, ***
Released February, 1942
Based on the true story of turn-of-the-century Robert Yancey, lawyer and ever-popular politician in Virginia. The movie is interesting from a historical perspective and has
many humorous moments with Morgan and Byington in the lead. One of Kathryn Grayson's earliest roles, she is bouncy and sweet as Miss Rebecca Yancey. Though the film is not a musical, it does feature
some good period songs. Heartwarming and fun film!
The film starts with the statement, "This is the story of a vanishing era when simple men so
loved their country, their families and their friends that America became a better place in
which to live. Such a man was Cap'n Bob Yancey."

Victor / Victoria
MGM, 1982, Color, 133 minutes, ***½
Released March, 1982
A man impersonating a woman on stage? Piece of cake. But a woman whose
livelihood depends on pretending to be a man who pretends to be a woman? Now you've got
problems! You've also got laughs when Julie Andrews plays Victor and Victoria in
this clever delight from filmmaker Blake Edwards boasting a marvelous Academy Award-winning
score by Henry Mancini and Leslie Bricusse.
Robert Preston plays a cabaret performer who devises the gender-bender stage act. Farcically
complicating matters are James Garner as a mobster suspecting Victor is a Victoria and
Lesley Ann Warren as a short-fused floozy. Of this movie's seven Oscar nominations, three
went to Golden Globe Winner Andrews (Actress). National Board of Review Award Winner Preston
(Supporting Actor) and Warren (Supporting Actress). [from back of DVD
