Had to look it up on Wikipedia and then remembered having seen it sometime back. Interesting little movie and worth watching if you have never seen it.

nakano Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Thursday, October 14 at 1h00pm In Canada only the original uk Gaslight with Anton Walbrook, not showed often(The 1944 Gaslight with Bergman & Boyer was a remake of the UK one) In the USA they have OBSESSION aka The HiddenRoom . For once we have a very good substitute in Canada the best one imo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedracer5 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Too Many Girls is definitely not the best movie ever. Had Lucy and Desi not become massive superstars together and created one of the most enduring television shows of all time, I'm sure that this film would have been forgotten. One of my favorite parts of this movie is when Lucy's character gives a flirtatious glance at Desi's character (who is manning the door) and he faints. Lucy is paired up with Richard The Creature From the Black Lagoon Carlson and they do not have as much chemistry as she and Desi did in the film, even though they don't really have any interaction. This film has its moments, but it also has a somewhat odd storyline. But overall, it's amusing. Ann Miller and Frances Langford both provide adequate support. Van Johnson appears as an extra in many crowd scenes. My favorite parts: 1) Desi fainting when Lucy gives him a flirty look. 2) The fact that the actress playing Richard Carlson's aunt is named "Tiny Person." 3) The animated organisms dancing the conga in the big victory scene. 4) Desi and Ann Miller's conga number 5) Lucy very visibly screwing up the choreography during the big conga number 6) The football scene when all the virgins' beanies are fished out of the cannon 7) Desi. He is absolutely adorable in this film and I can see why Lucy fell in love with him instantly. 8 ) Hal LeRoy's rubber legs number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes it does prove that a stable upbringing from good homes does not guarantee that kids won't end up going astray, down the wrong path for whatever reason. In a cast with Keanu Reeves and Dennis Hopper, it is indeed Glover who walks away with the movie. And **** Skye (pre-SAY ANYTHING) and Roxana Zal (best known as the sexually abused daughter in the 1984 TV movie SOMETHING ABOUT AMELIA) also turn in fine work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good movie with good performances from Hang S. Ngor and a pre-LAW AND ORDER Sam Waterston. Painful to watch at times though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montgomery Clift plays quite a convincing heel in here as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
