Damn Yankees

It is great to see this old classic again. We never thought we would be able to get it anymore.

They don't make em like this anymore...great choreography, terrific Gwen, a wonderful musical! See it!

I liked the movie when I first saw it as a young child. I enjoy it even more as an adult.

A diverting, tarted-up goof on the scandalous 1919 World Series thrown by "Shoeless" Joe Jackson (among others), Abbott and Donen's rousing "Yankees" reunites the graceful Verdon (a flaming redhead, of course!) and mordant Walston from the hit Broadway play. This ballgame is all about entertainment: Verdon belts out Richard Adler and Jerry Ross's splendid songs, like "Whatever Lola Wants" and "Heart," with jazzy authority, while Bob Fosse's vibrant choreography gives her sinfully muscular body a sizzling workout. They don't make 'em like they used to, baseball fans!

I was quite pleased with the dvd 'Damn Yankees' as it was one that I had seen
when I was a teenager, so it brought back a lot of memories for me. As a film, it was quite enjoyable with some lively show tunes.
