Product Description

Call Me Madam (1953)

Director:

Walter Lang

Writers:

Arthur Sheekman (screenplay), Howard Lindsay (musical "Call Me Madam")

Stars:

Ethel Merman, Donald O'Connor, Vera-Ellen

Ethel Merman reprised her role as a socialite turned diplomat in this screen adaptation of Irving Berlin's hit Broadway musical. Sally Adams (Merman) has made it her business to know everyone worth knowing in Washington D.C., and her penchant for parties pays off when she's appointed United States Ambassador to Lichtenburg. Once she is installed in her new position, she falls in love with suave Foreign Minister Cosmo Constantine (George Sanders), while Princess Maria (Vera-Ellen) has her head turned by Sally's press attaché, Kenneth (Donand O'Connor). Call Me Madam is a showcase for Merman's roof-raising musical comedy style, and here she gets to sing a handful of Berlin tunes, including "You're Just In Love," "Can You Use Any Money Today?" and "Hostess With The Mostes' on the Ball." Vera-Ellen's singing was dubbed by Carol Richards.

A good movie from the past. I always enjoyed Ethel Merman's singing, and the "villainous" George Sanders had a surprisingly good voice. A fun movie.
