Description

With spectacular Technicolor photography, and sumptuous production values, Stewart Granger stars in this 1952 second remake of the famous Anthony Hope novel as Rudolf, the would-be King of Rurutania, who on the eve of his coronation is kidnapped by the henchmen of his wicked half-brother the Duke of Streslau (Robert Douglas) as part of a conspiracy to usurp the throne. As fortune would have it, Rudolf Rassendyll (also played by Granger) appears on the scene. Rassendyll so strikingly resembles the King that he is enlisted by loyal Colonel Zapt (Louis Calhern) to save the crown. Rassendyll's adventure leads him to romance with the beautiful Princess Flavia (Deborah Kerr) to a web of treachery which finally culminates in cloak-and-dagger combat with the villianous Rupert (James Mason).

Description

Kittenish teens Patti (Jane Powell) and Melba (Debbie Reynolds) turn a 1900s family vacation in the Catskills into Two Weeks with Love, a bright entertainment that may come as a surprise to those who think there is nothing new under the musical sun (The Hollywood Reporter). Patti is fluttery over a suave older man (Ricardo Montalban) and thinks romance will bloom if her disapproving parents let her wear... a corset! With that longed-for garment, 18-year-old Patti is sure she'll look like a more mature woman. Meanwhile, Melba stalks a local boy (Carleton Carpenter) with lovestruck determination. In a sensational showstopper, Reynolds and Carpenter tear into a version of Aba Daba Honeymoon, so frisky and charming it became a smash-hit record. Busby Berkeley staged all the numbers, including Row, Row, Row and a dream sequence that has corseted Powell wowing Montalban with, of all things, an aria from The Chocolate Soldier. Aba daba, what a delight!
