Watch The Girl Rush For Free

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

After film roles got somewhat scarce for Rosalind Russell as they were for so many of her contemporaries when television became popular she went to Broadway and collected herself a Tony for Wonderful Town which was the musical adaption of one of her films My Sister Eileen. Why she didn't star in the film version of that is our loss, but her husband Frederick Brisson was a producer of note. He produced this film for his wife which got a Paramount release. He and Roz also obtained a pair of male co-stars who also did musicals on Broadway, Fernando Lamas in Happy Hunting Ground and Eddie Albert in Miss Liberty.Nothing terribly memorable about The Girl Rush. Roz is a gambler's daughter stuck in New England with her maiden aunt Marion Lorne when she learns she's inherited a Las Vegas hotel and casino. The only problem is that her dad's partner James Gleason blew the ownership at Fernando Lamas's crap table next door. She's got only days to get it back by hook or crook. Maybe millionaire Eddie Albert can help if he can take his eyes off the casino attraction Gloria DeHaven. But Fernando is a gambler in the tradition of dear old dad. I think you can see where this is going.Both Roz and Gloria get to strut their musical stuff and Lamas and Albert both prove to have some nice singing notes. Nothing memorable in the Hugh Martin-Ralph Blane score, but it's serviceable enough.Too bad The Girl Rush came just as Hollywood was closing out doing musicals for the most part. If only MGM knew about Russell when she was a young contract player with them.

Fresh from her Tony-winning turn in "Wonderful Town," the musical version of her "My Sister Eileen" film, Rosalind Russell returned to films in this bright pastiche of song and dance set in Las Vegas.Russell plays a gambler's daughter who's pining away in a dull job in Providence when she learns she has inherited a half interest in a Las Vegas hotel. Off she goes with her dotty aunt (Marion Lorne), assuming she now owns the Flamingo Hotel, but it's owned by Fernando Lamas.While romancing Lamas she cajoles Eddie Albert into putting money into the rundown wreck of a hotel she really owns with James Gleason. She also befriends the Flamingo's dumb blonde star (Gloria De Haven). Among the male dancers are Don Crichton ("The Carol Burnett Show") and George Chakiris (billed as George Chakaris).Russell performs three numbers: "If You'll Only Take a Chance," "Birmin'ham." and "Homesick Hillbilly" with great energy.Among the supporting players are Marjorie Bennett (at the craps table), Jesse White, Larry Gates (as the father), Douglas Fowley, George Chandler, Robert Fortier, Shelley Fabares, and Bess Flowers.Everyone is good in this one; Rosalind Russell is great.

Greetings all viewing this! Okay ladies and gentlemen, I have watched The Girl Rush movie and just absolutely loved it dearly. Just knowing that Roz and the rest of the awesome and legendary actors and actresses in the movie was just fantastic. And the music and wonderful choreography was phenomenal. To witness the old Las Vegas, in its heyday was just cool and memorable, you all remember the Flamingo and the different Marquee flashes that occurred during the beginning of the movie, like Sophie Tucker and Eartha Kitt, lit up billboard and the casino, and then the landscapes. I just adore this movie and the actors and dancers in it. In fact I'm going to watch this again and just catch things I may have missed by the visual and audio aspects. I feel that: The Girl Rush movie is Good as Gold. OKay I had watched this movie again (3x), and just fell in love with this movie once again, it just make me feel so happy and love the quip's in between the script. I love to see the actors, humor and the Las Vegas background and setting from back in the day. This movie captivates me, and Im glad this particular web-page in honor of this movie and its actors is up and still running after all these years since its makings. Thank you for posting this and letting me express my feelings and sharing. California fan...Golden State.

Not-quite pleasing comedy/musical from Robert Pirosh, who co-wrote the screenplay with Jerome Davis from the story by Phoebe and Henry Ephron. Perhaps fans of Rosalind Russell, Eddie Albert, or lovable character actress Marion Lorne may enjoy more than others. Fernando Lamas is sensual in the romantic lead, and Gloria DeHaven is charming as his love interest and nightclub act. Eddie Albert is particularly engrossing as the affluent "daddy's-boy", and Marion Lorne simply shines as Russell's mumbling Aunt Clara. The film can certainly boast awe-inspiring costumes by ultimate designer Edith Head. Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane wrote the songs, with a musical score by M.S.I. Spencer-Hagen. Among the better song/dance numbers are "Take A Chance" and "Hillbilly Heart." Robert Alton served as choreographer, as well as associate producer. Also, actor George Chakiris is featured as a chorus boy. The overall best performer is the solid, consistently dependable Rosalind Russell, who simply dazzles with charm, energy, and wit as the happy-go-lucky Kim Halliday. With anyone else in the leading role and the film would have been disastrous!
