Movie Review: 1930's B movie satire
Summary: 4 Stars
Delightful double feature spoof of two 1930's B movie genre's. "Dynamite Hands" is a fight movie with such snappy dialog as "Do you know what they want for any eye? An arm and a leg." The second is a Busby Berkeley style musical "Baxter's Beauties." Great song "I just need the girl." Both films star George C Scott and incorporate all the cliche's.
Summary of Movie Movie
A pair of movies spoofs films of the 1930s, the decade before director Stanley Donen made his name with ON THE TOWN. Filled with inside jokes about Hollywood and production companies cranking out movie after movie and even including a fake promotional trailer between the two short films, MOVIE MOVIE will receive a round of applause from lovers of classic movies. The first film follows a boxer's dramatic saga in edgy black and white; the second, in color, is a throwback to the golden days of the musical comedy. Very familiar with both genres, Donen gives these stories the edge that most satire directors would miss, and it's a credit to him that he can mock films that made his own name famous. The cast, including George C. Scott, does double duty by playing roles in both films, demonstrating its acting range and emphasizing the suspension of disbelief in which all moviegoers engage and delight.VHS Video Movies
