Shirley Jones Movie Marathon - July 13th, 2011!

Classic Movie Stars from a bygone era are absolutely amazing! There are some "very rare" great talents today, however it is difficult to compare anyone to the likes, of say, Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Shirley Temple, Van Johnson, Doris Day, Fred Astaire, Gordon MacRae, and Shirley Jones! They were in a class, certainly, all by themselves!

They could do it all... Act, Sing, Dance, and Entertain, like no other!


Shirley Jones and Robert Preston
in The Music Man



"Oh, what a Beautiful Morning,

Oh, what a Beautiful Day..."

It was the first 'Shirley Jones' Movie I had ever seen... so amazing and colorful.... full of singing, dancing, intrigue, and romance! I love it and Shirley Jones in it!

Enjoy! Ideal Family Film!

April TV Movies ~ The theme is "April Love!"

Wednesday, March 30, 2011-

April is right around the corner...

One of my favorite movies is a 1957 Musical, April Love, starring Pat Boone and Shirley Jones. It's a beautiful story about finding redemption, promise, and love... when a young man, (Pat Boone) gets in trouble with the law and is sent on probation to his Aunt and Uncle's Kentucky horse farm, where he meets a sweet local girl (Shirley Jones).

This is a great movie the entire family can watch together. Unfortunately, it is not available to be purchased on DVD, but can be seen on TV (see listings below!). Please, request here for DVD.

One of the best things about this movie is the music, which is available on a Soundtrack CD. Includes the beautiful theme song, April Love, and much more!
