Pal Joey (1957)
While this isn’t my favorite musical, Pal Joey is definitely a must-see for fans of musicals or Frank Sinatra. Dozens of famous songs—okay, not really dozens—came from this musical, including “Bewitched,” “The Lady is a Tramp,” “My Funny Valentine,” and “I Could Write a Book”. Although both Kim Novak’s and Rita Hayworth’s singing voices were dubbed, the matches are pretty good. I didn’t know Kim had been dubbed until I read the trivia.
Frankie plays Joey, a charmer with a bad reputation. Kim Novak, a chorus girl with a heart of gold, knows he’s a player and tries to stay away. Rita Hayworth is a former chorus girl whose marriage has landed her in high society; an affair with the notorious playboy could damage her own reputation. While Frankie pursues both girls, all three sing the very memorable songs of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. If you like the songs, you’ll probably like the movie. I don’t happen to like Rita Hayworth very much, but since I like the other two, the movie wasn’t ruined for me.
