Review of Pepe

Pepe (1960)
10/10
Musical-comedy full of top names of the day
6 November 2010
I saw this movie on the big screen when it was new in Australia & years later my Mum & I sat up in the wee hours after hours delivering catalogs & newspapers around our area to watch a rare TV screening. There are VHS available but these are outrageous in price. Wikipedia says there was a limited DVD release(undated) which i was unaware of & the VHS dates to 1998. I would also be in line if Columbia MOD series makes this available in the 195mins original version. The original release also had RCA 4-track stereo audio. I like the actor who appeared in films as Catinflas(Mario Moreno), a Mexican comedy actor.

The film has the audio voice of Judy Garland thru speakers in a poolside scene. There are brief appearances of Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Sammy Davis Jr & the final screen roles for Billie Burke & Charles Coborn. If it comes available to buy, it would be an entertaining buy, even at 195mins.
