The Happiest Millionaire: Road Show Edition - The Movie Tells it All
Wow! I really loved the movie The Happiest Millionaire: Road Show Edition. The movie is absolutely stunning with top-notch graphics and visuals while Fred MacMurray deliver some award-winning performances in this movie. I also think Tommy Steele was great! The visuals and graphics make for some very realistic on screen special-effects but that is the beauty of the movie.When the movie wants to be funny it is funny, the same is true for when the movie needs to deliver its scary aspects.
I think Fred MacMurray and Tommy Steele worked wonderful in The Happiest Millionaire: Road Show Edition. The great supporting cast includes Fred MacMurray, Tommy Steele, Greer Garson, Geraldine Page, Gladys Cooper.
You should see it, make no mistake this is a definite blockbuster!

Summary of The Happiest Millionaire: Road Show Edition: Reportedly the last feature to be personally shepherded by Walt Disney himself, The Happiest Millionaire is a stubbornly old-fashioned musical intended to build on the success of Mary Poppins, relying on songs and score from Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman, the studio's resident songwriting team responsible for the hits of Poppins. Despite that pedigree, and a cast headlined by Fred MacMurray, Greer Garson, Tommy Steele, Geraldine Page, and, in their screen debuts, Lesley Anne Warren and John Davidson, the would-be successor wound up a white elephant.
Released in 1967, a watershed year for youth culture and social upheaval, The Happiest Millionaire romanticizes Philadelphia's upper crust circa 1916. Its title character, Anthony J. Drexel Biddle (MacMurray), is a militant industrialist urging America's mobilization against Germany, and noteworthy for an eccentric lifestyle that includes his own bible study classes, martial arts training, and (in a lone nod toward any remotely modern social values) a readiness to empower his lovely, headstrong daughter, Cordelia (Warren).
Under Norman Tokar's busy but routine direction, the project does muster moments of charm, and packs its story line with enough twists to partly explain its excessive 144-minute length. But the unintended irony of paeans to capitalism and conservative politics in an era of Sgt. Pepper isn't masked by the Shermans' music, which is eminently forgettable, despite the game mugging of Tommy Steele as an immigrant Irish butler. Equally game is MacMurray, but as a singer, he's no Rex Harrison.
Viewers hungry for a family musical with bright production values may be more forgiving. For the film's most ardent fans, Anchor Bay has also released an even longer, widescreen "Road Show" edition of the first-run theatrical version, clocking in at 164 minutes. --Sam Sutherland

El Derecho de Nacer- To begin, this movie has a great beginning; it pulled me right into it.This is something not usually seen in movies of this type, so it makes it an unusual, yet pleasant experience.The action scenes are really great. Veronica Castro played his role great. Ignacio Lopez Tarso actually caught my interest.
I think Veronica Castro and Ignacio Lopez Tarso worked wonderful in El Derecho de Nacer. The great supporting cast includes Veronica Castro, Ignacio Lopez Tarso, Humberto Zurita.
All in all, I would rate this movie an 8.5/10. I would definitely watch this movie again.
