- MUSICAL MEXICO
I enjoyed HOLIDAY IN MEXICO very much.It is a lighthearted and humorous look at young women's adolescent"crushes".All the actors are good,especially Walter Pidgeon,as the American ambassador and Roddy McDowall as Jane Powell's boyfriend. Also Jos'e Iturbi plays the piano brilliantly and Xavier Cugat and his orchestra give us some bright latin music. Jane Powell in her first major film,as the teenage daughter of the ambassador,with her singing,acting and good looks,is superb.

- THE MAGIC BEGINS
MGM's musical songbird, Jane Powell, started her illustrious movie career in her mid-teens with two pictures on loan-out to United Artists--SONG OF THE OPEN ROAD and DELIGHTFULLY DANGEROUS. After her warm up in these films, Louis B. Mayer brought her home to star in her first big MGM technicolor musical--HOLIDAY IN MIXICO. Metro pulled out all stops for this film and made it a lavish, musical showpiece.

Walter Pidgeon played her dashing father, an ambassador to Mexico, and Roddy McDowell was her young, handsome friend. Illona Massey sang and seduced, Xavier Cugat gave us his Latin rhythms and Jose Iturbi embraced the ivories with musical fireworks and charm.

Local Mexican flavor (on MGM's back lot) gave a sparkle to the colorful production numbers and Jane sang four tried and true favorites in her youthful but rich soprano voice--ITALIAN STREET SONG, LE FILLES DE CADIZ, I THINK ... Read More

- Good, but not outstanding
I have to admit it was a very well done movie, and I did enjoy it. Unfortunately, I have a small dislike for Jane Powell, formed after I saw Hit The Deck and Small Town Girl. She did, however, sing beautifully in this movie - I was impressed, to say the least. Her performance, however, lacked a special something. At times I found her annoying, though perhaps that was her intention - to make the character annoying. The story line was nothing wonderful, but cute and fun to watch. Roddy McDowall was excellent - this is the first movie I have seen him in as a child actor - he is extremely cute, and Jane Powell and he make a cute couple. Jose Iturbi's piano playing was excellent, and his performance, (acting), was quite good. Walter Pidgeon was very good as Jane Powell's father - he fit the role perfectly. Overall this was a very entertaining movie, and a fun way to spend two hours, but it's not anything special. ... Read More
