1.Rhapsody in Blue starring: Robert Alda, Joan Leslie, Alexis Smith, Charles Coburn, Julie Bishop directed by: Irving Rapper September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $8.39
As a Hollywood biopic this is only average. Too much of the film is devoted to Gershwin's supposed romantic involvement with two women, who are both entirely fictional. Far more important in reality was his friendship with Oscar Levant, who was not only the composer's best friend but also after his death was widely recognized as the most authoritative interpreter of his major works for piano, Rhapsody in Blue and Concerto in F. Levant's presence in the film lends it some historical authenticity. Also present are Al Jolson, a legendary figure in the history of American popular entertainment and the interpreter of Gershwin's single most popular song, "Swanee", and Paul Whiteman, the bandleader who collaborated with Gershwin in the premiere of Rhapsody in Blue. (Fred Astaire is sorely missed.) ... Read More

2.Humoresque starring: Joan Crawford, John Garfield, Oscar Levant, J. Carrol Naish, Joan Chandler directed by: Jean Negulesco March 07, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.99
if you are a dedicated musician and had the rare opportunity to make it your life's work( which is near nil in today's world), then you will love this movie.It's the fight between the marriage of woman or music.music will always win because there is no separation of the man and his music, they are one and the same.

3.The Band Wagon starring: Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse, Oscar Levant, Nanette Fabray, Jack Buchanan directed by: Vincente Minnelli May 02, 2000

I had heard this old musical was very good. It certainly is! So glad I can get these classic movies thru Amazon.

4.The Barkleys of Broadway starring: Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Oscar Levant, Billie Burke, Gale Robbins directed by: Charles Walters February 23, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.50
After a ten year hiatus, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers got together made their tenth and final movie together. Finding Astaire 50 years old, and Rogers, 38, it's the dancing couple's first and only picture together in color, full, saturated Technicolor, no less. The movie differs from the stars' previous work in that they start out as a bickering married couple. Rogers is tired of being made to feel that Astaire has been her Svengali and craves a serious move. (Kitty Foyle, somebody?) The French climax was a brilliant touch. Astaire is awesome. The "Shoes With Wings" routine, I feel was only the third best dance scene in the movie. "Bouncing The Blues," an entertaining workout, was incredible! Staccato taps, to stripper-like finish with Rogers concealing their affection ... Read More

6.Romance on the High Seas starring: Jack Carson, Janis Paige, Doris Day, Don DeFore, Oscar Levant directed by: Michael Curtiz September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.99
By the late 1940s, Warner Brothers was no longer a major producer of lavish musicals--but in 1947 they decided to return to the field with ROMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS, a lightweight tale of luxury liner romance and comic confusion. Lacking a major musical star, the studio sought to borrow Judy Garland from MGM--but MGM, notoriously possessive of its musical leading lady, refused. Warner then went to Paramount and did indeed secure the services of Betty Hutton--but Hutton became pregnant and would be visibly so by the time cameras began to roll. With deadlines looming, it seemed ROMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS was dead in the water. Enter Doris Day. An attractive blonde from Cincinnati, Day had begun her career with the aspiration to become a dancer, only to find her teenage hopes dashed when a car in which ... Read More

8.Bc: Rhythm on the River starring: Bing Crosby, Mary Martin, Basil Rathbone, Oscar Levant, Oscar Shaw directed by: Victor Schertzinger January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.98
Bing is in top form in this charming comedy musical based on a story by Billy Wilder and Jacques Threy. Director Victor Schertzinger wrote one of the songs himself and keeps a light and breezy tone to one of Bing's most underrated films. Bob Summers (Bing) is an affable writer of tunes just trying to earn enough money for a boat to sail around in and Basil Rathbone is composer Oliver Courtney, taking the credit for them. What Bob doesn't know is not only does Oliver have his melodies ghostwritten, but the lyrics as well! Mary Martin is a young poet from Tulsa named Cherry Lane, letting Oliver take the credit for her beautful words in order to pay the rent. Neither Cherry or Bob are aware of this arrangement and it isn't until the two meet at his uncle's boarding house and fall in love that they figure ... Read More
