My Sister Eileen – (1955) – Two sisters from Ohio, one pretty, one witty, plot to take New York City by storm. Director: Richard Quine Cast: Janet Leigh, Jack Lemmon C-107 mins, TV-G
One of those big budget, mid-fifties, widescreen musicals released as the genre was on the wane both creatively and at the box office. What it has going for it, however, is a wonderful performance by Betty Garrett, who plays the unfortunate sister living forever in the shadow of the stunning Eileen, played by the stunning Janet Leigh.
The film’s highlight is “The Competition Dance,” performed and choreographed by the late, great Bob Fosse with Tommy Rall. Fosse’s the blonde one, but both defy physics. For those of you who might miss this tomorrow, the clip above has been provided for your convenience.
