Bewertung von Michel_Russell
I have read a lot about Marilyn Miller from Indiana to Broadway and it seems that she was indeed a great Broadway star, especially in the 20s. I think this is the best movie June Haver ever done, of her 15 she made,and the whole concept of the time, era, clothes and background seems to come to life, with an extra lift. MM was supposed to have been a perfectionist on stage and did not like anyone in the cast who was not the same. JH does not quite get this part correct but at least she has a damn good try. The supporting cast from Ray Bolger to Gordon Macrae are also good and overall a thoroughly entertaining musical. I eagerly watch for it to come on TV and I would not miss it for the world.
Morally, if you look at the ages of all the cast they are far to old! Even to bring Eve Arden out of retirement as part of the teaching staff lost her usually wise-cracking characterisation that she was so good at decades ago.
As for the leads, well John Travolta looked good enough as the leader of the pack that beds the chicks and leave them panting for more. Olivia Newton John seemed at times to be on another planet as everything came to her as 'such a surprise' and all innocence lost!
The score was bouncy in a brassey, sing-a-long medium kind of way and the lyrics easy-to-remember without being syrupy and candy floss hype.
The script was no pulitzer prize winner but "teens" in those days were never very bright. All together it was colourful, funny, down to earth and as good as you could get in those 'quaint old days' of yesteryear.

For some reason whenever I hear the word 'Spring' I inevitably think of the movie 'Come Next Spring' which I remember seeing as a teenager. I thought Ann Sheridan & Steve Cochran were near the end of their careers and this was their swansong and did they know how to capture the whole essence of a small town community going through a crisis. It is warm, gentle and has a loving nature running all through it as though they all knew that the studio was near the end like a lot of the cast in their careers. Even the song I can still remember. Worth a remake? No impossible. It was the film that got away but luckily I have a good memory!
