Editorial Review: Don Ameche and Betty Grable star in this musical remake of the play THREE BLIND MICE. When an inheritance turns out to be worth a fraction of its initial value after taxes Kay Latimer (Grable) convinces her sister Barbara (Carole Landis) and her aunt Susan (Charlotte Greenwood) to spend the money on a trip to Miami where Kay hopes to land a millionaire for a husband. Once there Kay's relatives pretend to be her servants and help her convince a bartender to obtain invites for them to the parties of the upper class. Kay quickly finds herself tangled up with two men Phil O'Neil and Jeffrey Bolton (Ameche and Robert Cummings) the former turning out to be penniless while the latter only has eyes for Barbara. Meanwhile the hotel bartender who despises gold diggers discovers that Kay and company are paupers who can't even afford the hotel bill and threatens to blow the lid on the trio of damsels in distress. Grable fanned the fire of her burgeoning fame with a magnetic performance her notoriously spectacular figure haloed by a series of dazzling outfits. Songs from this tuneful comedic romp include "Kindergarten Conga" "Loveliness and Love" and "Is that Good?"System Requirements:Running Time: 91 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: MUSICALS/MUSICALS Rating: NR UPC: 024543250227 Manufacturer No: 2235022

I purchased this DVD "Moon Over Miami," for my granddaughters 10th birthday which is in July.
So, at this point it is a surprise, but I know she will LOVE it. Betty Grable who stars in the movie is her all time favorite. This is very unusual for a young girl. However, she fell in love with her quite awhile ago, and her interest has held for her.
I'm so happy you had this available for her. Thank you.
Rating: - fine Hollywood musical with words and music
Moon Over Miami is a delightful musical romp that succeeds very well even though the plot is rather thin. The convincing acting held my attention very well and the musical numbers are excellent. The Technicolor is grand and the plot moves along at a good pace.
The action starts when Kay Latimer (Betty Grable), her sister Barbara (Carol Landis), and their aunt Susan (Charlotte Greenwood) are stuck working at some dumpy greasy spoon in Texas. Their inheritance is far short of what they ... Read More
Rating: - Mooning over "Moon Over...."
Technically this is "just another" Fox musical, with a slight and silly storyline (girls in Miami on prowl for rich bachelors) but plenty of good-humored, innocuous cheer. Charlotte Greenwood and Jack Haley (aka The Tin Man) have fun together in supporting roles; Greenwood does her famous splits with those long, long legs. Betty Grable was built for Technicolor and vice versa. The songs oddly do not include "Moon Over Miami" except for an instrumental in the opening credits. A sugary confection with ... Read More
Rating: - Jack Cole's Dance Number Remains Lost
I hate to rain on my fellow reviewers parade, but an important component of the film is missing. A few years ago I purchased the VHS version of "Moon Over Miami". To my big disappointment, here's what I saw: The "Seminole" sequence begins with kettledrums, the cast leans forward in expectation - and then comes a brutal cut right into the chorus routine, just before the entrance of the Condos Brothers. The spectacular dance performed by Jack Cole, Anna Austin and Florence Lessing was completely erased. ... Read More
Rating: - BETTY GRABLE always gets FIVE STARS ...or more....
This is another 1940's Fox musical...not "Westside Story"...so if you
enjoy bright, colorful, pleasant...you will not be disappointed. BETTY
and her gang will sing for you. Betty and the Condos brothers will dance
for you....and Betty will wear some very pretty clothes (Travis Banton,
I think). Also unusual for a Grable film...they did some location shooting in Florida...so you get some unusal locations. Betty is a
wonderful entertainer...and I am always willing to take ... Read More
