Loved Greer as a dancehall entertainer.
10 June 2006
Greer Garson had beautiful and long legs. I did not know any of this when viewing "Mrs. Miniver" or her other movies. In her typical movies, she is quite proper and above all, a remarkable image to look up to for women. In this movie, however, Greer is so much fun. She has to deal with her prim and proper husband, and in the meantime she cavorts with that all-fun-loving hottie Cesar Romero. My favorite part of any of Greer's movies is the dancehall scene in this movie, when she is dressed in a very short plaid pleated skirt with spike heels. Wonderful!!! Her singing is very good, too. Elizabeth Taylor and Peter Lawford are quite cute in this movie. Walter Pigeon is his usual adorable self with Greer Garson. I feel that they were a well matched pair. I did not like Greer's part in the movie "That Forsyte Woman". I know that she wanted to play against type, but the way that the character of her husband (Errol Flynn?) in that movie treated her I felt was so horrible. That was the movie with Robert Young (I think) as the second man. I feel that that was a horrid "Greer" movie, but "Julia Misbehaves" is my favorite. Go Greer!!! Wish she were still here with us. Perhaps she was not so prim and proper in her real life, either. Ever wonder how and why she got her MGM contract so fast (in one day?)? It has been said that Louis B. Mayer never gave anybody anything without their "earning" it first, LOL. Even Judy Garland, IMO. You figure it out.
