Anyone seen THE HAPPIEST MILLIONAIRE (1967)?

That film is one of my all-time favorite movies. It was the last live-action movie that Walt Disney supervised before his death. This is also a fun musical film that features wonderful songs by the great Sherman Brothers. It stars Fred MacMurray, Greer Garson, Tommy Steele, Lesley Ann Warren (post-CINDERELLA (1965) years), John Davidson, and, as Davidson's mother, Geraldine "Madame Medusa" Page. Let me tell you, Page is hilarious in this movie.

Here are some of the songs from the film:

Geraldine Page was one of America's greatest actresses. She was an actress before a star (hence why she is less remembered than she should be), and was nominated for about 7 Acadamy Awards before she finally won best actress the year before her death.

If anyone ever gets the chance (and obviously if you are not under 16!) I recommend watching her in Sweet Bird Of Youth! Its brilliant!

Of course. One cannot be around the Marines and not have heard of that movie especially when inside the back gate of Pendleton the first street sign you see is called "Biddle."
