Great Super Stars
12 September 2007
Never viewed this film and was very surprised at the great acting by Shirley MacLaine, ( Ginnie Moorehead ) who found herself on a bus with her one night stand an Army Soldier named Dave Hirsh (Frank Sinatra) who is so bombed with booze he almost misses his bus stop in a small Indiana town. As soon as Dave Hirsh gets into the town he starts a bundle of trouble, because his brother Frank Hirsh, ( Arthur Kennedy ), is a very successful man and is highly respected, however, he is not liked by his brother Frank who has not seen him for many years. Dave Hirsh was a writer who had written about two books and also had another book he would like to have published. Ginnie Moorehead who has been around the block a few times, likes Dave Hirsh and he in turn likes her also, but knows her past and is looking for a woman with character and class. Gwen French, (Martha Hyer) has read Dave Hirsh's books and he begins to fall in love with her because she is a teacher who teaches literature and wants him to publish his book and gives him confidence in himself. There is plenty of laughs with Dean Martin, (Bama Dilert) who is a gambler and heavy boozer. Great Classic Film,enjoy.
