A great star and a great composer can make a Broadway musical into a smash, as Ethel Merman and Irving Berlin proved with Call Me Madam. Not a bad place to start with a movie, either, and the 1953 film of the show has both Merman and Berlin represented in brassy fashion. Granted, Merman's platinum-throated talents were best suited to the stage, and the production overall has that dutiful, stodgy tone of so many Fox musicals. Extra points for the suavity of George Sanders (he's Merman's love interest in tiny Lichtenburg, where the lady has been appointed U.S. ambassador), and for the dancing of Vera-Ellen and Donald O'Connor. A year after crashing through the wall in Singin' in the Rain, O'Connor has a similar solo athletic workout to "What Chance Have I with Love." High point: Merman and O'Connor trading verses on "You're Just in Love," the best tune in a bouncy score. --Robert Horton

I'm a huge fan of Donald O'Connor, and had no idea this movie existed until reading some of his biography online. So after watching some clips on YouTube and finally renting it from Netflix, I was hooked and bought it. Irving Berlin's music is fantastic, as always, and Ethel Merman does a super job belting out her songs while providing some humor along the way. George Sanders is perfect in his role as the foreign minister, and his singing is heartwarming and pleasant. And let's not forget the ... Read More

This was Ethel Merman at her best. Even if you're not a fan, this is a cute movie with lovely songs and great dancing. The story is a bit silly and dated, but the acting and inside jokes keep it from being totally inane. The commentary was a little too dry. That was something that could have used some more Hollywood sparkle and less of a history lesson. Anyway, it was great to see Donald O'Connor in his prime and the duet with Ethel was a knockout. Just try and get some of those Irving Berlin ... Read More

All other reviews has talked about how wonderful this movie is, but there is one more reason to own this movie. The commentary by musical film scholar Miles Kreuger is great! It is almost like a lesson in musical history. He gives so much information on Mr, Berlin, all the actors,, even dance and costume. If you love musical, you just have to watch this movie with the commentary on for once, you will surprise how much you can learn about this movie.

Ethel Merman got to make the film version of her Broadway hit, Call Me Madam. Previously, producers almost always cast other actresses to recreate her stage successes. Stage fans complained (as they did later when Audrey Hepburn substituted for Julie Andrews in My Fair Lady), but seeing Merman in Call Me Madam should silence the complainers. She sinks her own film version. Her presence is no more than a gross caricature: vulgar, utterly charmless and crude. Either she refused to accept any direction ... Read More
