Plot: Meredith Willson's second Broadway hit (the first and biggest was The Music Man) proved a lucrative vehicle for the equally unsinkable Debbie Reynolds. Based on a true story, the film casts Debbie as hoydenish Molly Brown, who wangles her way into Denver High Society when she marries overnight millionaire Johnny Brown (Harve Presnell). When the local social arbiters give Molly the brush-off, she pulls off a coup by bringing a representative of European royalty, Prince Louis de Laniere (Vassili Lambrinos) into the Colorado community. Her admiration for the prince causes a rift in her marriage; it takes the sinking of the Titanic--wherein Molly heroically commandeers one of the lifeboats and is responsible for rescuing several of the passengers--to bring Molly and Johnny together again. While the energetic performances of such songs as I Ain't Down Yet and Belly Up to the Bar Boys are to be cherished, the real highlight of The Unsinkable Molly Brown is a society ball which ends up in a pie fight between the Denver elite and Molly's rambunctious mining-town cronies. Treated condescendingly by the critics, the film struck a responsive chord with audiences to the tune of a $7.5 million gross. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Good, innocent family entertainment

Debbie Reynolds got better as the movie progressed and it was worth the purchase. We didn't think her male counterpart was as good as he could have been, but all in all a fun family film.

Debbie at her peak

I remembered seeing this in the theater when it first came out and enjoying it. I still enjoy it but see it through more mature eyes now so I see that it is not quite as good as I remembered.

It could have used some tighter editing and in places Debbie goes way overboard but it still has some wonderful scenes, great music and dancing and a heart warming story behind it.

I had almost forgot about Harve Presnell's singing, I was used to seeing him only as an actor in his later years (he was Ms Parkers father on The Pretender series) but it was nice to be reminded of his great voice.
I'm sure most people will enjoy this film

Received in timely manner. DVD skips in a few places. Two inappropriate words on movie. Thanks!
