The Perils of Pauline (1947)
- James Higgins
- 3/11/10
68/100. Betty Hutton is her usual over enthusiastic, animated and peppy self, but she is effective in the title role. As far as period detail and historical accuracy, very poor indeed. But, it was made to be entertaining, not accurate. Nicely produced, if not a bit overdone. Billy de Wolfe stands out in the supporting cast and is quite good, William Demarest is fun as the frazzled director. The musical numbers are decent, but none are outstanding except for the Oscar nominated song "I Wish I Didn't Love You So", a beautiful tune. It's fun overall though, good pacing. John Lund is bland in a pivotal role. For the time, some of the special effects are good.

Betty Hutton is perfect for this romp. She has the physical skills to portray Pearl White. I hope TCM will show this one soon and do a tribute to Betty Hutton. She deserves it.
