Ethel Merman DVD

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

Spencer Tracy, Milton Berle, Ethel Merman, Mickey Rooney, Sid Caesar
Simply the greatest comedy ever filmed. An unbelievable array of stars, many in small cameos that ensure you a surpise every few minutes and a reward for paying attention.

This movie could never be remade today, the salearies alone would make it impossible.

Hilarious from the scene of Jimmy Durante's character "kicking the bucket" through Ethel Merman losing the car keys to bewildered Three Stooges - and don't miss the banana peel!!!

Call Me Madam

Ethel Merman, Donald O'Connor, Vera-Ellen, George Sanders, Billy De Wolfe
Ethel Merman's greatest triumphs were on the Broadway musical stage, where she starred in such shows as "Annie Get Your Gun", "Something for the Boys", "Girl Crazy", "Happy Hunting" and "Gypsy". On the screen, however, Merman wasn't so lucky. The only stage performance which Merman was granted the opportunity to cement on film was Sally Adams, the Washington hostess with the mostes', in Irving Berlin's CALL ME MADAM.

Assigned to the tiny European duchy of Lichtenburg, Washington society hostess-turned Ambassador Sally Adams (Ethel Merman) is soon up to her neck in romance and mayhem.

There's No Business Like Show Business

Ethel Merman, Marilyn Monroe, Donald O'Connor, Dan Dailey, Johnnie Ray
If you don't love this movie, if you don't *adore* this movie -- well then, by gosh by golly, you're un-American.

And if you're French, you're un-French.

And if you're Hungarian, you're un-Hungarian.

(Catch my drift?)

This movie next to "Singin' in the Rain" is like Babe Ruth next to Lou Gehrig in the Yankee lineup. It's just great.

Everybody in the movie shines. Even poor Johnnie Ray. I mean, what was the idea there? I suppose the producers figured that if every kid who bought a Johnnie Ray record came to the movie they'd make millions.
