Music reviews of Red Garters / Irving Berlin's White Christmas
Music Review: Rosie sings her two greatest movie musicals
Rating: 4 Stars
Rosemary Clooney found her two greatest film roles in WHITE CHRISTMAS and RED GARTERS. Both were lavish Technicolor productions from Paramount, where Clooney was under contract at the time.
WHITE CHRISTMAS, based on the earlier "Holiday Inn", is still rightly regarded as one of the greatest Christmas films of all time. It would be a very sad holiday indeed if this film wasn't trundled out for it's regular airing. In the film, Clooney starred alongside Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye and Vera-Ellen, and the story revolved around a pair of ex-GI's who try to help their former commander when his Vermont ski-lodge is threatened with closure. Enter Clooney and Vera-Ellen as a cute sister-act, who soon cause romantic fireworks with the leading men!
With it's unforgettable Irving Berlin score, WHITE CHRISTMAS offered Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney a very solid tunestack to work their magic. Clooney dazzles with the bluesy eleven o'clock number "Love You Didn't Do Right by Me"; and she shares the spotlight with her real-life sister Betty (who dubbed for Vera-Ellen in the film) as they perform the cute "Sisters" duet.
At this time, Clooney was under exclusive contract to Columbia, and thus could not particpate in the "original cast soundtrack" album, which was to be done by Decca. Peggy Lee replaced her on the soundtrack, and Columbia prepared it's own "White Christmas" album featuring Clooney doing all the numbers, and it's this album that has been reissued here.
RED GARTERS was one of the better musicals that showcased Clooney with all her shades and talents in evidence. In the film, she plays Calaveras Kate (perhaps a sly dig at "Calamity Jane"), the resident entertainer at the Red Dog Saloon. The film centers on a handsome cowboy (played by Guy Mitchell) on a mission to avenge his brother's death, until Kate decides to use him in a ploy to get her long-standing fiancee (Jack Carson) down the aisle!
Under contract to the Columbia label, Guy Mitchell had been paired with Clooney on a number of cover singles (including an entire series from the Broadway musical "Call Me Madam") and their chemistry played to good effect with their performances in RED GARTERS, where they get a fun duet entitled "Man and Woman". Clooney dazzles with the smokey ballad "Bad News". Co-star Joanne Gilbert also has a ball with a frisky eleven o'clocker, "This is Greater Than I Thought".
Thankyou Collectables, for reissuing these classic albums with Rosie at the height of her Hollywood years.
