Billy Rose's Jumbo was on Turner Classics about a week ago. I had not watched this charming, funny and endearing film in a long time. I realized how good it made me and my family feel. The great comedy of Jimmy Durante and Martha Raye elevated this above the norm. The kids' favouite moment was the scene where Jimmy was trying to sneak Jumbo away and was asked, " Where are you going with that elephant?". Jimmy's priceless response was , "What elephant?". The kids roared with laughter. Imagine this, a fifty year- old film that produce this kind of emotion.

Regardless of wheter musicals or circus films are in fashion, we are fortunate that Doris, Stephen, Jimmy and Martha put this treasure on film. This is a film that is timeless and has aged well due to great performances, terrific music and great comedy. It was a good story.

What elese does an audience need?

Here's the Hedda Hopper announcement about DD in "Molly Brown," as it appeared in the Chicago Tribune:

Doris Day Slated to Star in 'Molly Brown'
Friday 2nd March 1962

LOOKING AT HOLLYWOOD

Doris Day Slated to Star in 'Molly Brown'

Hollywood, March 1---Tammy Grimes' heart will be broken when she learns that Bob Wellman has bought "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" for Metro and that Doris Day is going to star. Tammy did a fine job with it on Broadway, but Doris is the No. 1 gal in movies. It was a great story when Gene Fowler first wrote it, and Meredith Wilson's music is among his best. Larry Weingarten will produce this big one. . .
