Reviews:

A fun, lighthearted musical with excellent songs by Disney’s Sherman Brothers.
This picture has some excellent songs written by the same team of song writers that wrote the award winning songs for Walt Disney’s MARY POPPINS. The opening number of “Fortousity” is a delight. Although this movie is based on a true story about Cordelia Drexel Biddle, I would recommend it more as a lighthearted and fun movie for the whole family.

A most musical musical!
When I was a boy, I’m in my 40s now, my mother would get Disney albums in the mail. They contained music from the soundtracks of movies. Consequently, I was familiar with the songs long before I had seen the films. ‘Happiest Millionaire’ was one of them, but I have never seen the movie until 2004 when I bought it on DVD, and it was fantastic!

The version on the disc lasts close to 3 hours. It is a ‘Roadshow Edition,’ and that is entirely enjoyable. It begins with a music overture. In the middle of the film is an intermission, and after the movie is over, there is another musical medley with the word ‘Exit’ on the screen. That must have been there to remind people to leave the theater!

I see that on IMDb it gets an average rating of 5.5. Maybe that comes from the shorter, lesser cuts of the film. This restored edition is much better than that. My children loved it, too! They were literally glued to the screen for the duration of the movie.

This is easily the most musical of any film I have ever seen. That is one of the reasons the movie is so entertaining. Tommy Steele looks as if he is having a lot of fun, and that feeling is contagious.

‘Happiest Millionaire’ was released in 1967, the year after Walt Disney died, but he loved this film. The music is by the Sherman brothers, the same duo who gave us the unforgettable tunes in ‘Mary Poppins.’ I think it is sad that these kinds of films are no longer made. The great family oriented musicals are gone. Can anyone recommend ‘Moulin Rouge’ or ‘Chicago’ to their children?

And yet, this is not necessarily a kids’ movie. Walt Disney had the genius to understand that things need to appeal to everyone. That was the inspiration behind Disneyland.

Out of four stars, I rate this: ***
