Ruth and her beautiful sister Eileen come to New York's Greenwich Village looking for "fame, fortune and a 'For Rent' sign on Barrow Street". They find an apartment (such as it is!), but fame and fortune are a lot more elusive. Ruth gets the attention of playboy publisher Bob Baker when she submits a story about her gorgeous sister Eileen.

Movie Reviews

Creative Loafing - 8/10 by Matt BrunsonBetty Garrett snags one of her best roles, while future Bewitched co-star Dick York (here billed as Richard York) steals scenes.
User Review - 10/10 by Laure SGenialissime! Le numero de fin avec les marins bresiliens est a mourir de rire! Film a voir pour tout ceux qui aime les comedie musicales.
User Review - 10/10 by Private UIt's a movie with my name in it! So it's OBVIOUSLY worthy of five stars. Actually, this is a lovely comedic romp through 1950s New York. Great music numbers, and Jack Lemmon is handsome and dashing as a leading love interest. So much fun! I can't believe I've gone so long without seeing it!
User Review - 8/10 by Miriam KIt's very simple, not an amazing plot; actually typical musical. But there is something about Jack Lemmon that tickels every funny bone in my body!
User Review - 8/10 by Jeffrey KAlthough it is based around the common idea of 'making it in the big city' there are some very random and hilarious moments which make it extremely enjoyable. The songs aren't catchy but the dance sequences are brilliant!
User Review - 8/10 by Darryl Cthis is underrated fosse--just as strong as his more famous films like cabaret and sweet charity. because of the overexposure of such pieces, we need to look at eileen a lot. we also need to look at it for one of many examples of hollywood rewriting a decent musical. in this case, bernstein's bombastic score for wonderful town was left behind for jule styne's more affable score.
User Review - 8/10 by Aj VI know it's a remake, but it's got Jack Lemmon, and he's really funny in this movie. I want to see the original now.
User Review - 8/10 by Kevin M. WSurprisingly enjoyable if completely ludicrous entertainment; so happy to see Jack Lemmon even if his character is a bit of a jerk and who knew that Janet Leigh could dance and sing? Glad I had the opportunity to see this!
User Review - 8/10 by Michael TDelightful musical choreographed by Bob Fosse and adapted from Ruth Sherwood's stories; Betty Garrett is wonderful as always, and it's a pleasure to see both Janet Leigh and Jack Lemmon singing and dancing. Fosse and Tommy Rall in the competition dance, and "Give Me A Band And My Baby" are the standout musical numbers.
User Review - 8/10 by David A(from The Watermark, 10/19/06) This 1955 Technicolor treat is your typical musical fare: two sisters from Ohio, a writer and an actress (Betty Garrett and Janet Leigh), arrive in New York City seeking their fame and fortune. They take up residence in Greenwich Village amongst a colorful array of artistic characters, and we get to enjoy their misadventures on the way to love and employment. The well-rounded cast also includes the questionable musical talents of Jack Lemmon and Dick York, plus the incredible Tommy Rall. Behind the camera, the film has a lighthearted yet sassy screenplay co-written by Blake Edwards (The Pink Panther, Victor/Victoria), a tuneful score by Jule Styne (Gypsy, Funny Girl), and clever lyrics by Leo Robin (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes). The real up-and-comer to watch, though, is Bob Fosse. As both choreographer for the film and Eileen's love interest, he adds his unconventional touch to the musical numbers and clearly shows signs of the dance genius he would become. A dance-duel performed by him and Rall is superb in its technical precision, expression in movement, and complete absence of underlying homoeroticism. If you like your musicals bubbling with idealism and innocence bordering on naïveté, you'll like this one. (FYI, if you're scratching your head thinking this sounds an awful lot like Leonard Bernstein's 1953 Broadway show Wonderful Town, keep scratching. It's a different musical based on the same material. Anybody out there know why two versions were made?)
