Mitzi Gaynor: A "Drum-Majorette" Entertainer
By an Amazon.com customer
My Blue HeavenMy Blue Heaven
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $6.93
Mitzi's hilarious film debut. Her total screen time is probably less than ten minutes, but so what? Her pert and promising screen personality, her feline beauty, and her exceptional charisma shine through gloriously and make these minutes the most watchable, memorable, and exciting moments in the entire film. A valued opportunity to see a tremendous young talent on the rise.
We're Not MarriedWe're Not Married
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $3.99
A comedy of errors involving several wedded couples who find out their marriages aren't legal. In one scenario, Mitzi, as a young pregnant "wife," teams warmly and unaffectedly with "husband" Eddie Bracken.

Inspired production values. First-class entertainment. An eloquent early example of Mitzi's "star power" and potential.

Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $6.65
Outstanding musical in which Mitzi's superior talents shine: sympathetic actress as well as self-assured and spirited singer/dancer.
Anything GoesAnything Goes
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $5.28
There's only one reason to watch this dumb film: Mitzi Gaynor. Especially in her "Anything Goes" number. She's sexy, funny, and feline: an electrifying beauty, talent, and screen presence. And one of very few film actresses who, wrapped to voluptuous form in a satiny strapless evening gown, can walk across a nightclub floor onscreen and absolutely take one's breath away.

Mitzi's role (and acting) is sweet and understated. Her singing and dancing is never less than arch and inspired.

"Ensign Nellie Forbush": a landmark role for Mitzi and she deserved it. A fresh and "summery," yet serious and restrained performance.
Mitzi Gaynor: Razzle Dazzle! The Special YearsMitzi Gaynor: Razzle Dazzle! The Special Years
Buy used from: $62.90
Essentially a Mitzi Gaynor TV Specials SAMPLER. Featuring show glimpses as well as a few complete song-and-dance/comedy numbers, interrupted by interviews with various show-business professionals, "Razzle Dazzle"--as a documentary--has tremendously diluted entertainment value.

No showcase numbers for Mitzi; however, she can be heard on a handful of Irving Berlin's songs. Recommendation: SEE her in the movie for optimum entertainment effect.
Anything Goes (1956 Film Soundtrack)Anything Goes (1956 Film Soundtrack) by Cole Porter
Buy used from: $24.28
No definitive interpretations of Cole Porter can be found on this sorry soundtrack, which is oddly mixed with a few asinine Jimmy Van Heusen numbers. Mitzi's spotlight song is "Anything Goes" and she makes it a sparkler.

Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $5.37
Mitzi's five song contributions are sweetly rendered.
