Right, I should make it a good one.....hmmmmm......
This movie is one of my favorites.
It's a rare gem that has one of my favorite actors - well two of my favorite actors - not only acting, but singing as well!
Yes, it's a musical.
You all know the tale: a town is set upon by a bunch of rats who won't seem to leave. A passing Piper offers to get rid of them, for a price. With a deal struck he deposes of the rats. The townspeople negate their end of the bargain and the Piper takes the children in return.
This one has a happy ending - promise!
With astounding performances from:
Val Johnson (who also starred in "Brigadoon" with Gene Kelly)
Lori Nelson
Claude Raines ("The Invisible Man", and "The Phantom of the Opera")
Jim Backus (Mr. Magoo, the original)
This film can be found on YouTube, though I recommend going out and buying a DVD copy.
(Also: The songs are rather catchy.)
Do you have any obscure movies you'd like me to review or write about? Leave a comment below.
