" ROSE MARIE "
Starring
ANN BLYTH- HOWARD KEEL- FERNANDO LAMAS
with Marjorie Main and Bert Lahr
1954's Rose Marie is the third film version of the 1924 Otto Harbach-Oscar Hammerstein-Rudolph Friml operetta of the same name. Though not a completely faithful adaptation, this version is closer to the original than the admittedly enjoyable Nelson Eddy-Jeanette MacDonald version of 1936. Ann Blyth stars as Rose Marie Lemaitre, a hoydenish French-Canadian lass who is "tamed" by cheerful mountie Mike Malone (Howard Keel). At first, Mike is only interested in using Rose Marie to capture her sweetheart, renegade trapper Duval (Fernando Lamas), but eventually he falls in love with her, and she with him. Counter-pointing the romantic main plot are the comic antics of Bert Lahr, who elucidates his sorry lot in life with the song "I'm the Mountie Who Never Got His Man." The original Rudy Friml score is well in evidence, along with several new Friml compositions and a few extra tunes penned by Georgie Stoll and Herbert Baker. There's also a remarkable "Indian sacrifice" production number ( by BUSBY BERKELEY) spotlighting a young Rita Moreno.

1 – The Right Place For A Girl – H. Keel
2 – Free To Be Free - Ann Blyth
3- Love and Kisses – Main & Lahr
