Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Natalie Wood and Gene Kelly make a cute (if not exactly convincing) couple in this Hollywood soap-opera version of Herman Wouk's coming-of-age romance. French/Russian Natalie Wood is decidedly non-ethnic as Marjorie Morgenstern, the starry-eyed Jewish college girl who falls in love with summer resort small-timer Gene Kelly (who never quite sells himself as a show-biz dreamer with limited talent). A stolid mix of modern, clear-eyed romance and old-fashioned melodrama, it nonetheless manages to slip in some frank (for 1958) discussions of sex and the single girl and sketch out an intriguing portrait of Jewish life in New York's upper crust between the romantic complications. Everett Sloane and Claire Trevor are excellent as Marjorie's success-obsessed parents, pre-Adam 12 Martin (Marty) Milner offers his boy-next-door charm as the former flunky turned Broadway success, and Ed Wynn is delightful as her eccentric uncle. --Sean Axmaker

- Marjorie Morningstar
In my opinion one of the better movies of the period (1957). For anyone who remembers that period and in particular, the Catskill mountains of NY state during that period, this movie is a must have.

Gene Kelly was a fantastic dancer and actor and his leading lady, Natalie Wood played a very convincing part. Nostalgia at it's best.

My purchase was delivered on time as promised, in fact it arrived a couple of days early. I am very pleased with the service I received....as usual

- Love it
Search high and low to find Majorie Morningstar.
Happy to have found it for a great price

Rating:

- Seriously Dated
Although the performers are competent and pleasing, this film is seriously dated. Wouk's novel was powerful for its honest portrayal of its Jewish milieu, something the film does not understand or appreciate. The ending is particularly dated and trivial. Wouk's narrative should have been followed.

Rating:

- Natalie Wood at nineteen
Pretty Marjorie Morganstern, a good Jewish girl, gets her chance to work with a summer-stock company at the summer camp where she is a counselor on her first job. She meets older, charismatic Noel Airman, the summer-stock director that is nearing the end of an always promising career. Marjorie encourages Noel to pursue his theatrical dreams and when he fails, he leaves Marjorie with a broken heart. Noel does the only thing that makes him feel success and adoration and Marjorie comes to terms that her love affair with Noel was the greatest love of her life. I don't want to give away the ending, but get your tissues ready.
