IRENE DUNNE (1898-1990)

Irene Dunne was a supreme actress in many popular movies of the 1930s and 1940s. She left Hollywood in the 1950s, but when she left the limelight she thankfully left behind many great roles...

MOVIE TRAILER: BRIGADOON

I feel that the movie BRIGADOON(1954) is one of the most underrated musical of the 1950s. Star Gene Kelly expressed his distaste for the budget cutting on this film. He wanted to film on location in Scotland, but MGM forced him to film on the backlot. Joining Kelly in the film was Cyd Charisse and Van Johnson.

MUSICAL MOMENTS: BOBBY DARIN

I never get tired listening to the great Bobby Darin. He came along late in the game, but his singing style harked back to the days of Frank Sinatra and Al Jolson. Sadly, Darin died too young, but his great entertaining lives on...
