The Beginning or the End (1947)
Memorable
When I was 10 years old, I saw this unforgettable movie. For years I have tried to see it again, but no one was showing it. This movie made a huge impact on my life as a young girl on into adulthood. This movie should never be put on a back burner, but shown at least once a year so that today's young people can experience how the bomb came to be. The acting is good, story is especially unforgettable. Tom Drake is still one of my favorite actors, along with Beverly Tyler. The script is written with a casual yet informative flavor - thus the docudrama style. However the script also brings a building tension. Certainly, a worthy movie. It has stuck with me for 67 years!
Mamma Mia! (2008)
Magical Movie
Mamma Mia is the most magical movie of the spring and summer. What charm - what happiness. "Dancing Queen" was so spectacular that I had tears in my eyes. I haven't felt that way since I saw John Travolta sing and dance the number "Welcome To The Sixties" from HAIRSPRAY. The duet between Meryl Streep and Sophie was exquisite and poignant. I found creative cleverness with the use of the chorus; reminiscent of a a "Greek Chorus" commenting in a tragedy. Most of the songs work well within the framework of the story line, while the scenery of the Greek Isle only added to the joy of the movie. So Pierce didn't sing so well, it certainly didn't spoil the movie. I can't wait to see it again and again.
