Rating: - There is a reason why so many movies end up forgotten. Doll Face is a good example
Doll Face proves the point that all old movies aren't classics. In fact, Doll Face proves the point that most movies, whether made 60 years ago, 30 years ago or last week, are deservedly forgotten because they age so badly.
This guy-has-doll, guy-loses-doll, guy-wins-doll-back story gives us Doll Face Carroll (Vivian Blaine), a burleyque star with a great voice and a big following among the bald-headed set, and Mike Hannegan (Dennis O'Keefe), her manager and the impresario of the burlesque ... Read More
Rating: - GOOD MOVIE, HORRIBLE DVD
One reviewer was watching this DVD for Vivian Blaine; another, for Perry Como. I was watching for Dennis O'Keefe. Now all we need is a review from someone watching it for Carmen Miranda and we'll be set.

Perry Como and Carmen Miranda sparkle in fine supporting roles but for fans of the sorely underrated Vivian Blaine this film is a sheer ... Read More
Rating:  - DON`T BUY THIS MOVIE.
I urge anyone who even thinks about it not to buy this movie. Its so bad it was difficult to give it 1 star.
Being a great fan of Perry Como, and being brought up in the 50`s with nothing but happy memories of his TV shows i was waiting for this movie to be released. It was never released it escaped. The quality is awful, the sound is bad and the picture the same. I should have known better what else can you expect from Alpha Video. I know it was a budget price but i expected something better than this. I ... Read More
