9/10
Great Remake
9 February 2005
The Music ! The Duck Hunting ! The Remake ! The Duck Hunting ! The whole Cast ! The Duck Hunting ! The Color ! The Duck Hunting ! The Edward "I learned a lot of the Marx Brothers" Buzzell ! The Duck Hunting ! The Music ! The Duck Hunting ! The Art Direction ! The Duck Hunting !

What will I say ?!

Viv'America ! Viv'America ! Viv'America !

Esther is great as ever ! Lucille Ball is not a Star in Germany and her performance is a little bit to comic-like ! Van Johnson is likable ! Keenan Wynn is a well casted sidekick ! Cesar Ramirez and Ethel Smith in their best On-Screen-Musical-Numbers ! Ben Blue and Cecil Kellaway are superb !

The movie is a remake from "Libeled Lady" from the year 1936 with William Powell, Myrna Loy, Spencer Tracy and Jean Harlow.

The story has nothing new, but there are many little things that gives it a fresh breeze. First it's now a musical with a great Mambo-Feeiling.

Than it's in terrific color. (Watch the costumes and art direction)

And the best change to the original is, there's no fishing just duck hunting.

Viv'America ! Viv'America ! Viv'America !
