33 ⅓ Revolutions per Monkee

33 1⁄3 Revolutions per Monkee is a television special starring the Monkees that aired on NBC on April 14, 1969. Produced by Jack Good, guests on the show included Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Little Richard, the Clara Ward Singers, the Buddy Miles Express, Paul Arnold and the Moon Express, and We Three. Although they were billed as musical guests, Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger (alongside their then-backing band The Trinity) found themselves playing a prominent role; in fact, it can be argued that the special focused more on the guest stars (specifically, Auger and Driscoll) than the Monkees themselves. This special is notable as the Monkees' final performance as a quartet until 1986, as Peter Tork left the group at the end of the special's production. The title is a play on "33 1⁄3 revolutions per minute."

Betty Hutton's film career consists of 3 or 4 famous films, and lots of forgotten ones. "The Stork Club" is among the latter, even though it's one of her most easily available on DVD. The songs are third-rate, and the story is built entirely on tiresome misunderstandings that could have been resolved in three minutes, if only the characters really wanted to resolve them (they go on for an unreasonable 98 minutes). Hutton is forced to be honest and lovelorn instead of wacky and brassy most of the time, and it doesn't really suit her; Iris Adrian has one good line or, more accurately, word: "I saved him from drowning" - "Why?"! *1/2 out of 4.

About 20 years after first watching this on a VHS tape, I rewatched The Stork Club just now on YouTube. In this one, Betty Hutton saves Barry Fitzgerald from drowning. She thinks he's poor but he's actually rich and decides to give her an account initially without her knowledge. This eventually creates complications, most of which are pretty funny...except when her former soldier/current bandleader boyfriend Don Defore confronts her about them. The dialogue between him and Betty are deadly most of the time. Her with Fitzgerald, however, are often highlights. Ms. Hutton is much more subdued this time-compared to many of her other films I've seen-even during her performance of "In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree"-at least after Barry initially criticizes her jive version-to good effect. There's much more to the plot but I'll now say I highly recommend The Stork Club if you're a die-hard Betty Hutton fan like I am!

Gentle, pleasant comedy of the war era with one of my favorite old-time actors (Betty Hutton) singing one of my favorite old-time songs ("Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief"). Large cast of the minor stars of the time.

SO-so boring film with premise for fun comedy but lazily and boorishly done. I didn't really like any of the leads and Defore who plays the romantic interest is an oak tree. Lazy Betty Hutton vehicle that made a lot of money. Wonder why?
