Mother’s Day TCM alert! Set your VCR/DVR, etc.!
May 9 – 8:00 AM Eastern Time Three Daring Daughters (1948)
Three young girls try to help their widowed mother find the right husband. Cast: Jeanette MacDonald, Jane Powell, Jose Iturbi. Dir: Fred M. Wilcox. C-115 mins, TV-G
Jose Iturbi ain’t Nelson Eddy…but besides seeing Jeanette in gorgeous Technicolor, there are some memorable moments in this wanna-be remake of Deanna Durbin’s Three Smart Girls. Watch as Jeanette sings a nostalgic version of “Sweethearts.” Also, her duet with Jane Powell (Grieg’s “Springtide”) is gorgeous. And finally, Jeanette’s irritating cruise dining partner “Mrs. Smith” is played by Moyna McGill – better known as the mother of Angela Lansbury!
Jeanette MacDonald & Nelson Eddy: We get mail…
A fan letter from the Altoona, PA Mishler Theatre production of the Jeanette MacDonald-Nelson Eddy story, “A Scandalous Affair” starring Hallie Neill and Theodore Lambrinos:
Dear Sharon
I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know I was at the showing of A Scandalous Affair at the Mishler Theatre in Altoona. My son took us and we had a wonderful time. Jeanette and Nelson would be proud to know their story was being told so lovingly and with truth.
Thank you for everything you do.
Eva, Patrick, Michele and Susie Irwin
