Product Description
Allan Dwan directs this timeless romantic musical set in the mid 1900s, in which he brings together the outstanding musical capabilities Bill Marshall, Jane Frazee, Janet Martin and the inimitable Kenny Baker, whose scintillating tenor is shown off to good effect. Janet Martin was one of the several young players under contract to Republic at the time. A2ZCDS have brought this old Hollywood Classic feature films on DVD. "Director Alan Dwan is at his best in this vintage romantic musical, which won him many accolades. Dwans portrayal of a struggling young musician on the lookout for a much-needed break is realistic and touching, with many an insightful scene depicting the inner struggles of artists who dream of making it big. The lively musical score by Jimmy McHugh, along with many spirited vocals, adds a lot of fizz to the narrative while the choreography is simply enchanting. Jane Frazees depiction of an innocent; naïve girl who inadvertently makes it big is especially laudable. A sprinkling of humorous scenes and some lively romantic banter make for delightful and engrossing entertainment. Experience outstanding musical drama in this timeless feature film, brought to you on DVD by A2ZCDS, which is at once thrilling, heartrending and entertaining!"

Typical Playboy material.......2006-09-01

Overall, I enjoyed the video as I do most Playboy videos.

Some reviewers have stated that the video was not as good as they had expected (or hoped). Their principal complaint was that the director\editors cut too much nude material and replaced it with shots of fruit, a musical instrument, men, or something un-playmate-ish. I agree. I don't like it when they do that either. However, that is the way Playboy is\has been for as long as I can remember; true of most Playboy videos, not simply limited to this one. Playboy thinks that they are adding class to the material by doing this.

Having said that, the girls of this video are all very beautiful. The DVD is longer than most and is peppered with *many* satisfying moments.

But, as with most Playboy videos, many times you only get a glimpse or a flash. That's why I rated it four stars. What a pity. The video had the potential to be great before the director\editor worked his magic and gave it more class.

Bottom line: If you are not disappointed by most Playboy videos, you probably won't be disappointed with this one.

great dvd.......2003-12-28

this dvd is very good.almost all the woman featured here all very beatifull.

I'll keep this brief.

One of the better Video Calendars.......2001-04-06

At 85+ minutes, this is one of the longest Playboy DVDs that I've run across. It's your typical Video Calendar, and your opinion of it will very likely depend on whether or not you are a fan of the particular Playmates featured on it. I found it to have several Playmates who I liked, like Nicole Lenz, Jodi Ann Paterson, and Kristi Cline, and it made me notice a few Playmates I didn't pay much attention to before, like Cara Wakelin and Jennifer Rovero.

Each Playmate has a 6 minute video segment, which is longer than the typical 4 minutes in previous Video Calendars. Jodi Ann gets a 9 to 10 minute segment in her spot.

Be warned, though, some of the new cases that these Playboy DVDs come in have the notorious flower-pattern hubs that clamp onto the DVD and don't release easily. Be careful when you extract it from the DVD.

Horrible!! don't waste ur money..........2001-01-02

This movie was pathetic... it was nothing i expected.. most of it was just pictures. Not Great.. So don't waste your money on this... Play Boy just god bored with this one they didn't put much into it... DON"T BUY IT!!

Great Song.......2006-07-28

This is the movie where the "Calendar Girl" song comes from and it's performed very well. It's a musical in the "Funny Girl" tradition and tells the story of a singer who just wants to get a break so he can make teh big time. Of course he does --- the point of the movie is just to see how he does it. There are enough twists and turns along the way, but the real point of this movie is the music - which is excellent.

This beautiful vintage movie overflows with life.......2006-05-03

"`Calendar Girl' has a wonderfully constructed story, and I found it immensely entertaining. It has all the trimmings of musicals at their very best. I really loved the idyllic Broadway feel of this exuberant movie. This beautiful vintage movie overflows with life."

A Good Date DVD.......2006-04-27

I know that a lot of guys claim to "just not like musicials." But let me give you some advice - lots of women love musicials, especially the classics.

That's why I bought and ordered this movie and it did not disappoint at all. It is a very traditional hollywood musical complete with show tunes lavish sets and beautiful costumes.

I invited my girlfriend over, we put it in the DVD player and had a really nice evening and she was impressed that I wasn't making her watch another Die Hard movie.

Customer Reviews:

Somewhat disappointing.......2000-10-19

Although the footage was very erotic in many places, several of the ladies were featured only as a series of still photos. In addition, the still sequences for each lady morphed from one photograph to another. That was kind of interesting at first, but then it just seemed overdone and weird. Penthouse has done much better, so unless you especially love one of the featured ladies (and you don't care whether she's moving or not), your money would be better spent elsewhere.

Not Art But I like It.......2000-10-15

For a Playboy tape, this is not too bad - but it's not too good either. Since the subject matter is hot naked chicks I still loved the tape. Obviously all the women are DDG (drop dead gorgeous) which makes me wish I got to run the camera for the video shoot. Speaking of running the camera, you will see plenty of lovely faces, pretty smiles, and supple breasts, but you won't see much buttocks. When you do see the model's buns it's usually a quick glance during an action shot, such as when the Playmate dance, or walk, etc. In my opinion, Heidi Mark, Rachel Jean Marteen, and Alicia Rickter (who provides the tape with the finest bun shot) are the hottest girls on the tape. Overall, not bad for Playboy, but I wish they would show more nudity and close-ups.

Top Notch.......2000-01-19

Of the calendar series, this may be one of the best years. An exciting, energetic video, a must for the calendar collector, and a good beginnig for the person who is curious.

some of the most beautiful women in the world and you can see them everyday of the year!

Save Your Money.......2005-12-18

I too purchased this from the bargain bin (2 DVD for around $5). I would compare the quality to that of an old worn out VHS tape thats been recorded over far too many times. The acting was ok, but the storyline and the video quality make it hard to watch.

a dvd to disregard.......2005-12-08

1980s movie and it shows. Sharon Stone and co-stars do a fair job. The dvd video is extremely poor on my copy. It looks like a bootleg but it is not. Story line has been done before and since and is very predictable. I sat through it only because I bought it out of a bargain bin and figured since I paid for it, I might as well watch it all.
Save your money and your time. Pass on this one at any price.

The Goddess Anna!!.......2004-03-29

This video is very hard to find. It has the 12 girls of 1994, to include the one and only Vicki Smith, later to become Anna Nicole. It's cool to see the goddess before she became known for her appetite for fried chicken and marshmellows. There's only one Anna Nicole SMith, and I believe this is Playboy's first footage of her.

standard fare Video Calendar.......2001-09-11

This is your standard fare Playboy Video Calendar, with 12 Playmates getting 4-5 minutes of screentime, split between 2 video segments each.

A majority of the Playmates here haven't appeared in any other DVDs, so most of them are not well known. Anna Nicole Smith is probably the most well-known of the ladies, but I'm not much of a fan of hers.

The other blondes on this DVD are really hot, like Kimberly Donley, Barbara Moore and Tiffany Sloan (who both have also appeared on the Wet & Wild Locker Room DVD), and Ashley Allen (also seen on the Girls of Hawaiian Tropic DVD). Echo Johnson and Nicole Wood are also blondes who have decent video segments here.

The lovely Asian Playmate, Morena Corwin, makes her debut here, and she appears in many Playboy DVDs, like Blue Collar Babes DVD and Asian Exotica DVD.

We also get to see two lovely brunettes in Jennifer LeRoy and Alesha Oreskovich, who only appear on this Playboy DVD. Amanda Hope is a lovely redhead, and Stephanie Adams is a perky African-American Playmate.

It's not a great DVD, as it's much shorter in length than the newest 80+ minute 2000 and 2001 Video Calendars, but if you're looking for a good collection of beautiful women, this is a nice choice that you can't go wrong with.

This is another classic video calendar, a must for the calendar collector, and it features a lot of stunning playmates.

Don't even think about it, for $10 this is worth every penny. Grab a glass of water, this will get you drooling. See Victoria in about every scenario possible (business woman, kitten, cowirl, etc.) And if Victoria wasn't enough, This DVD features a half an hour of the stunning Shauna Sand...what a great way to spend an hour (each model has approx. 1/2 hr. feature).

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh.......2001-07-17

Sweet, sweet, oh sweet.

What more can I say. This lady is truely stunning.

Get it, if you must have Playboy type video, this is the one for you.

standard typical Video Calendar DVD.......2001-05-12

This is your standard typical Playboy Video Calendar. For some Playmates, this is their only appearance on video or DVD ever.

Typical standard setup, 12 Playmates with video segments about 4 to 5 minutes each, each girl having two 2-minute video segments, to make up the 55 minute overall length.

I have my personal favorites of the Playmates appearing here, such as Kelly Monaco, who has one segment as a naked angel from heaven. Another favorite, Jennifer Allan, oils herself up here in a nice segment.

For other Playmates such as Ulrika Ericsson, Nadine Chanz, Jennifer Miriam, and Priscilla Taylor, this seems to be their only appearance ever on any of the Playboy DVDs.

There aren't any overly provocative scenes in the entire DVD, as Video Calendars are usually pretty tame. I can usually recommend Video Calendars only if you're already a fan of a particular Playmate or two. Otherwise, if you don't know any of the Playmates, stick with the 2000 or 2001 Video Calendars which are 20 to 25 minutes longer.

Greatest Playboy Video of All-Time............2000-07-05

One would never guess from Victoria's original centerfold spread how explicit she is willing to get in front of the camera. While the music video format can get anoying, the camera work is excellent, including mnay close-ups of "vital" areas. Victoria is very playful in front of the camera, seeming to constantly be flirting with viewers. There's also a pretty good m/f scene with Victoria and some lucky guy. Overall, a wonderful video that vividly reminds us of how much we love seeing playmates come to life from the pages of a magazine to full motion video.

great to watch on a lonely saturday bight.......2000-02-06

Forget what the other reviews says in here, this is the truth, if you want to seen Victoria silvstedt get naked, buy it. you know there won't be any plot in it, because it's not a film! But if you want to see her naked for 45 minutes, buy it.
