Sitting here falling in love with Angier Buchanan Duke, the dreamboat from "The Happiest Millionaire." This guy's got a great smile and particularly attractive dimples, his eyes are penetrating and he is so amazingly kind and sweet.
Another gem of a character in this movie is the Irish butler, John Lawless, played by Tommy Steele. He's a hidden treasure if I've ever found one. And he happens to have some of the best lines as well:
"That reminds me of an old Irish proverb, To have your alligators thaw out and your daughter forgive you all in the same bright morning, that's fortuosity."
"That reminds me of an old Irish proverb, To have your alligators thaw out and your daughter forgive you all in the same bright morning, that's fortuosity."
Here's John taking the Biddle family's pet alligator, George, back to his pool in the conservatory.
They just don't make movies like they used to. I wish people would just spring into song and dance and enjoy life more. That would be incredibly exciting.
"The Happiest Millionaire" is one of the best movies of all time. I don't say that lightly, I really mean it. The singing, dancing, humor and characters are all so perfect! This movie just makes me extremely happy and that's why I am watching it. In fact, it's almost over and I feel like watching it again RIGHT NOW!

This movie is going on my list. We will see how it measures up to Pete's Dragon.
ReplyDeleteAdj, I love musicals thanks to Mom. Oklahoma, Newsies, State Fair amoung others. Happiest Millionaire is one of my favorites. I'll have to buy another copy - I can't seem to find our copy. Dad
