"Tom, Dick and Harry" in color
Okay, I bought the Italian DVD set on one of the European Amazon websites for under $5.00. It was a bargain because you get two DVDs. One disc has the film in black and white and the other disc has it in color. I know many people don't like black and white films tampered with, but they gave Ginger such beautiful blue eyes in the color version. She was absolutely lovely! The movie looks bright and sunny in color. I liked it. Another nice thing about the DVDs is you can watch the film in English with the Italian subtitles turned off via the DVD menu. It's really a superb buy. I'm very pleased with my purchase. You need a Region Free DVD player outside of Europe. The only other colorized Ginger movie I've seen is "Bachelor Mother" (and the finale of "42nd Street").
It seems many people blame Janie for busting up Dick's relationship with Brenda Whitney, Jr. Well, Dick was a Casanova. He's just back in his small town after living in New York for awhile. When Tom dumps Janie and Harry at Inspiration Point, Dick gives them a lift back to town. But, Dick isn't alone in his car. He's at Inspiration Point with a girl named Paula. The next day when he places a long distance phone call to Brenda in New York, Janie already knows he's been cheating on Brenda at Inspiration Point the night before with Paula. When Janie cuts off Dick's telephone call with Brenda she tells him she was the girl he had picked up the night before and he asks "Who, Paula?" She then tells him she was the girl with Harry. Dick quickly flirts with Janie on the phone.
I think Dick was very handsome. I wouldn't have minded marrying him myself. But how long could a girl trust him? (Alan Marshall was also a Casanova to Maureen O'Hara in RKO's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame".) Brenda was comfortable in New York thinking he was faithful to her. But once back in his small town he had no problem picking up Paula and bringing her to Inspiration Point and then ultimately falling for Janie. Yes, Janie did conive a little, but she already knew that he was just back in town and already cheating on his girlfriend Brenda with Paula. I guess Janie really was meant for Harry after all. I wonder if handsome Casanova Dick went back to simultaneously dating Paula in his small town and Brenda in New York. If not, there were many other girls...
