Debbie Reynolds Sparkles As Molly Brown - By: Peter Kenney, 28 Nov 2006
THE UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN is a very good musical based on the life of a young woman who rises from rags to riches as the wife of Leadville Johnny Brown & later gains even more fame as a survivor of the sinking of the Titanic. The movie is not quite as good as the original production on Broadway starring Tammy Grimes, but it is still enormously entertainingin spots. The most memorable song is "Belly Up To The Bar, Boys."

Debbie Reynolds does a fine jobin the lead as Molly Brown & Harve Presnel repeats his successful Broadway role as Leadville Johnny Brown. The strong supporting cast for the film includes Ed Begley, Hermione Baddeley, Jack Kruschen & Vassili Lambrinos.

The movie received Oscar nominations for Best Color Cinematography, Color Costume Design, Color Art Direction & Adapted Music Score. Debbie Reynolds was nominated for Best Actress. MY FAIR LADY dominated the Academy Awardsin 1964.
