We watched The Happiest Millionaire last night (making our way through cheesy Disney live action). Neither one of us had seen it, but Chris had the soundtrack as a kid (still does, I think). Maybe you have to have grown up with these types of musicals, but, what fun it was! It was a looooong (176 minutes) complete with Intermission. The cast included Fred MacMurray, Greer Garson and introducing Leslie Ann Warren and John Davidson!
It's hard for me to look at these films without the sentimentality of my childhood getting in the way and say Oh See It! or DON'T!, but, with that caveat, I'm recommending it. (Coming from the kid who LOVED The One and Only Genuine Original Family Band as a kid - I still have the soundtrack as well). I think we'll be watching that one tonight. "Let's put it over with Grover..........."
