The STINKABLE Molly Brown

This review cracked me UP! I'll agree that the movie was too long for the story it told, and that the Titanic scenes should have been made to fit into the plot better, but really, it's quite a bit better than you make it sound. By the way, Molly doesn't have any brothers. (Those are the sons of her adopted father's friend got that straight?)
And Paul BUNNION? Oh my goodness. -

Sadly, I agree with gbennett5.
I saw Molly Brown many years ago on TV and viewed through the eyes of a child it was enjoyable.
Recently viewed on TCM and I found it to be a bore.
There was no real chemistry between Debbie R. and Harve P.
Debbie R. was a little too over the top, although I understand this was a stage musical before it was a movie.
In Debbie R.'s book, My Life, there is mention that the project was first offered to Shirley Maclaine.
As much a I have enjoyed Debbie R's other movies, I have a sneaking suspicion Shirley M. may have made a better Molly Brown.
Speaking of Molly Brown, Kathy Bates' interpretation of Molly Brown in the 1997 film Titanic was probably closer to the truth. -

She jumps on - a drum roll, please - the TITANIC.
As countless husbands and boys drown, Molly "cheers up" their screaming
mothers/husbands. With a Song.
Thank You for letting the cat out of the bag I asked about this scene in another thread, since it might be a deal breaker for me to buy the Blu-Ray and see this movie, and all I got was
"Just Watch The Movie."
For you folks that like this trashy movie, you can keep it. I'm not spending $20.00+ on the Blu-Ray, to see something that will make me sick.
Shameful, how someone could turn a tragedy into a "party"! I seriously doubt the real Molly did that! They could have been more respectful, by singing a church hymn or something like that, but NO
Even the Grease movies feature sad songs. In Grease 2, Michelle Pfeiffer sang about her "dead" boyfriend! Just one guy. Not 1500 people.
