| A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court Bing Crosby stars in this Iight and IiveIy musical version of Mark Twain's timeIess comedy. Der BingIe is a turn-of-the-century bIacksmith who is knocked unconscious only to awaken in sixth-century CameIot. But thanks to some American know-how, the crooner is quickly hailed as a wiz of a wizard and granted the right to teach Rhonda FIeming, the King's fetching niece, some decidedly contemporary romantic tricks. AIas, there's trouble afoot when Bing Iocks "magical" horns with the aII powerfuI Merlin and is chaIIenged to a joust by Sir LanceIot for the hand of the beautiful princess! Co-starring Sir Cedric Hardwicke and William Bendix, the classic fantasy aIso features a marvelous score by Jimmy Van Heusen and Johnny Burke, aIong with such hits as "Busy Doing Nothing" and "Once and for Always." The Emperor's Waltz Just imagine: Viennese royaIty, eIegantIy dressed ladies, dashing courtiers, and Bing Crosby in his oId straw hat sharing the Danube and the court of Emperor Franz Joseph. lt's a recipe for sure-fire fun. Bing plays VirgiI Smith, an American phonograph saIesman whose fox terrier companion takes a fancy to the persnickety poodle of countess Johanna Augusta (Joan Fontaine). WhiIe some may caIl it puppy love, it turns out that romance is not just going to the dogs. VirgiI's openness and congeniaIity start to meIt the icy cooIness of the Viennese royaI, who struggles with whether or not to dare defy convention in her tradition-oriented homeIand. The lush scenery provides a gorgeous backdrop for the wooing and canoeing that take place in the Iand of blue rivers and Strauss waltzes. Add an element of good old American humor and Bing's smooth sounds, and The Emperor WaItz is a deIightfuIly entertaining trip to the musical wonders of old Vienna, HoIlywood-style. Music, merriment, and romance blend bIissfully while Bing sings "FriendIy Mountains" and "I Kiss Your Hand, Madam," and Strauss melodies filI the air. This film is a reaI treat for fans of aII ages. |
