Show SparkliiigShow Opens at Centre As wonderfully refreshing as a tangy ocean breeze, "Three Little Girls In Blue," the new 20th Century-Fox Technicolor musical, swept into the Centre Theatre today, bringing with it an exciting whirlwind of gaiety, romance and melody. This film, starring June Haver, George Montgomery, Vivian Blaine, Celeste Holm, Vera-Ellen and Frank Latimore, is just what the doctor ordered for jaded movie goers; a rare and delightful delight-ful entertainment treat. Director Bruce Humberstone and Producer Mack Gordon have gone off the beaten path to achieve something definitely new and welcome in film musicals. From every angle the enthralling enthral-ling story, entrancing music, superlative performance and eye-filling eye-filling production, "Three Little Girls In Blue" is as utterly unusual un-usual as it is entertaining. The story's three little girls are the Misses Haver, Blaine and Vera-Ellen, as talented and love-y-to-look-at a trio as has ever graced a single movie. When these three beauties decide to sell their chicken farm and go millionaire husband-hunting on the boardwalk at Atlantic City, the picture gets off to its fast-paced fast-paced start. George Montgomery (whose return to the screen after service with the Army is mightily welcome) wel-come) . and Frank Latimore pop up as very desirable targets for June who is spearheading the romantic campaign of the three sisters. But in love as in war, even the best-laid campaigns often meet setbacks; especially when a rambunctious Celeste Holm enters the fray. And from here on in, it's a mad and merry, mer-ry, catch-as-catch can romantic mix-up that spells sheer delight right through to the film's surprise sur-prise climax. |
