Recensione in evidenza
Sometimes, you look back at something that was popular in Hollywood in the old days and you find it hard to understand it. A great example is the career of Sonja Henie. Henie was an Olympic champion figure skater who was signed to a multi-film contract by Twentieth Century-Fox...and she starred in about a dozen pictures even though she was Norwegian and didn't seem at all the movie star type. Another inexplicable Hollywood decision was to put the Ritz Brothers in films, as they were about as appealing as syphilis.
"One in a Million" is one of Henie's films....and unfortunately she was given the god-awful Ritz Brothers as supporting actors. While this might sound like hyperbole, I consider them the absolute worst comedy team in movie history...and only marginally less annoying than a case of ringworm! Most of their schtick consisted of being annoying, brash and singing humorous (???) ditties. Fortunately, the team never was that popular and they only made a few more movies than Henie.
Tad Spencer (Adolph Menjou) is a theatrical manager traveling through Europe with a bunch of talented folks...as well as the Ritz Brothers. When they stay at a small hotel in Switzerland, Tad discovers a very talented lady practicing for the upcoming Olympics. Soon, a lonely newspaper man (Don Ameche) arrives and discovers her as well...and the two work together to make Greta (Henie) a star.
Today, you wonder how folks could enjoy and even love Henie and her films. It was simply a product of the times...much like the Esther Williams movies of the 1940s and 50s....hard to understand now but which really clicked with audiences. And, while Henie's films were odd, they also were likable...and Henie's non-threatening smile and 'nice girl' looks endeared her to folks. Overall, I found the film a mildly enjoyable films...even with the Ritz Brothers doing their best to make me want to stop watching the picture!
