Not only was Molly Brown unsinkable, so is the musical based on her amazing life. Released in 1964, The Unsinkable Molly Brown gave Debbie Reynolds one of her most memorable roles and earned her an Academy Award nomination (she lost to Julie Andrews in Mary Poppins). Paired with Harve Presnell, fresh from the Broadway version, Reynolds and Presnell sparkle as Molly and Johnny Brown, well-meaning but gauche nouveau millionaires who take on stuffy Denver society (who are loathe to admit that they are nouveau riche as well). During their Molly-guided quest for "respectability," the pair learns that old adage--all the money in the world can't buy happiness or contentment.
From her beginnings as a foundling floating down the Colorado River to her fateful trip on the Titanic, Molly Brown aims upward, swearing "I Ain't Down Yet." Reynolds imbues her Molly with energy, determination, and poignancy. Molly feels every slight keenly and is convinced that more and bigger will make her place in society. Husband Johnny, who promised "I'll Never Say No," finds it harder and harder to keep his promise as he watches his wife's single-mindedness bury her effervescent personality. In the songs by Meredith Willson (The Music Man), Presnell's rich baritone soars on "Colorado, My Home" and begins a rousing "He's My Friend," while "Belly Up to the Bar, Boys" is a bawdy, catchy romp during which Reynolds shines--rollicking across the dance floor, she's a red-headed dynamo in a gauzy green dress. --Dana Van Nest

After seeing this movie in the theater at the age of 9, and having that joyous memory imprinted on my mind, the one scene that really stayed with me for all these 44 years was Harve Presnell as Johnny Brown, singing "Colorado, My Home." Powerful baritone vocals beautifully enhanced by the sound engineers recorded echoes through the Rocky Mountains. One of my most captivating childhood movie memories for that matter. But this is by far Debbie Reynold's all-time cinematic jewel. Based on the real life ... Read More

Debbie Reynolds is at her best and you can't help but cheer for her. There is so much energy and never slows down. It's always good to see snobs humble. I believe it was her best movie. Glad I have it.

You have to love Debbie Reynolds. Whether it's her youthful zeal in Singin' in the Rain, her over-the-top turn as Grace's ditzy diva mother Bobbi on Will & Grace, or her daughter Carrie's vituperative portrayal of her (and Shirley MacLaine's tough-minded interpretation) in the roman-à-clef, Postcards from the Edge, Reynolds keeps on ticking with her enduring, all-American brand of foot-stomping peppiness. Based on the 1960 Broadway hit, this overlong 1964 musical is arguably her career highpoint since ... Read More

This review refers to 2000 DVD release of 'Molly Brown'. The movie itself is quite good and the transfer to DVD is excellent. The picture is quite sharp, essentially the same as high definition. The format is widescreen which has been enhanced for large screen TVs, so the picture fills the entire screen. The colors are fine and the sound is also great. I viewed this movie on a 46-inch LCD high definition TV, played on a 1080p Toshiba HD DVD player. Highly recommended!
