The Reluctant Debutante by Vincente Minnelli
2023 movie #116. 1958. Jane (Dee) visits her father Jim (Harrison) in England during debutante season and her stepmother (Kendall) has her going to all the balls. Harrison and Kendall (his actual wife) are just marvelous in this old-fashioned farce. Very funny.
A film starring Ethel Waters and Eddie "Rochester" Anderson (MGM, 1943).
A dead gambler is given six more months to live to try to get into Heaven.
C+ (Okay).
There's some good music, and some great dancing, but surprisingly little of either. I understand Lena Horne's solo number and Louis Armstrong's only number were both cut from the movie. Meanwhile, the dialog is written in exactly the style you'd expect from a 1943 Hollywood movie with an all-black cast.

Watched on a plane.
This is the classic version of the film, in black and white, featuring a man looking back over the circumstances leading up to his daughter's wedding.
Starring a young Elizabeth Taylor, this is a very enjoyable, sometimes moving film.

2020 movie #64. 1960. Good performances from Hamilton and Peppard as half brothers (one illegitimate), the sons of a wealthy Texas land owner (Mitchum). A soap opera for sure but well acted and well told.
