![]() ![]() Rory Calhoun was handsome and engaging but really didn't have much to do. ![]() It might have been more interesting had Mamie had the lead and it was a more direct follow-up to Blondes. It picks up where Gentlemen left off, a showgirl (Piper Laurie) marries a millionaire (Rory Calhoun) and must take her place in society, with mixed results. The film seemed like an unofficial sequel to Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, but without the incomparable talents of Marilyn Monroe. Still, she looked gorgeous in technicolor. To tell the truth, I tuned in on Roku TV in order to catch Mamie Van Doren, but despite fourth billing above the title, her role was very limited and she had very little to do. Ain't Misbehavin' is a fairly obscure 1950's musical from Universal, a studio not much associated with the genre since Deanna Durbin left the decade before. ![]()
