The Daughter of Rosie O'Grady: June Hover and Gordon MacRae sing, dance, and romance.
THE DAUGHTER OF ROSIE O'GRADY
Cast: June Haver, Gordon MacRae, James Barton Warners
James Barton is against the theater. He thinks the hard theatrical life is what killed his wife, Rosie O'Grady, and left him with three daughters to bring up. They're not even good daughters. One of 'em (Marsha jones) is secretly married to a cop (Sean McClory), and the middle one (June Haver) is tagging around with singer Tony Pastor (Gordon MacRae). though she's endeavoring to pass him off as a college boy. That June. Just loves to sing and dance. When Pa gets so rabid she can't bear it, she leaves home, joins Pastor's show, becomes a real hot star. In the end, the old goat is proud of the kid, but by that time the daughter who married the cop has had twins, June and Pastor have become affianced, and everybody is singing a song about the daughter of Rosie O'Grady in the most unlikely manner imaginable. I think one member of the cast, is a find though. He's Gene Nelson — a dancer with lots of charm and talent.
NO SAD SONGS FOR ME
Cast: Margaret Sullavan, Wendell Corey, Viveca Lindfors, Natalie Wood. Columbia
It's lovely to have Margaret Sullavan back in the movies — but not in this particular movie. She's so noble it hurts you and her both. Maggie, married to Wendell Corey, and mother of little Natalie Wood, thinks she's pregnant. Nope, says the doctor. That's no baby. It's a cancer. Can't do anything for you. You'll die in 10 months. Well, Maggie doesn't want to tell the family, but pretty soon her husband shows signs of falling in love with his draftsman ( drafts woman? ) Viveca Lindfors, and that's almost too much to bear. Wendell admits he loves Maggie more, though, and she, grateful for small favors, starts planning his life, after her death. Viveca's not such a bad sort, really, Maggie figures. Bit of a homewrecker, but nice with children, plays the piano, has good table manners. She'd be an ideal second wife for Wendell. Maggie doesn't want him marrying some burlesque queen. (Picture makes the point that widowed men often choose unsuitable mates, in their grief and confusion.) That's the general idea. The acting's good, but the story's hard to swallow, and furthermore, it's pretty grueling to spend 90 minutes watching a lovely, sensitive woman prepare to meet her Maker.
