Customer Reviews of Best Foot Forward (Amazon Exclusive)
Let's Get The Ball Rolling I am so glad Best Foot Forward is being released on dvd. Lucille Ball is gorgeous in this film and plays the role of "movie star" perfect. Since so many stars of classic hollywood are getting boxed sets, why not Ms. Ball? I'd like to see a set of 5 consisting of "Lover Come Back" (You can see Lucy's comedic genius emerge in this film) along with "Easy To Wed", "DuBarry Was A Lady", "Two Smart People", and "Her Husband's Affairs". I would suggest a set for Esther Willams as well.
Lucy's Best MGM Movie!
Though she was the Queen of Television in the 1950's, before that she was one of the first Queens of Technicolor. Lucy glows in this movie. Life Magazine even dubbed her Technicolor Tessie. Lucy in her early thirties, at MGM, in Technicolor, doesn't get much better than this. A great movie too, much better than DuBarry Was a Lady that she made the same year.
A College Musical With a Good Story
Best Foot Forward came to Hollywood on the success of the stage show. It brought much of the original cast to the MGM lot, many to make careers there. This film fits well in movie format even though some scenes belie it's origins.

>The story happens in a small town at a military academy. Bud (Tommy Dix) is a senior and a fan of Lucille Ball. He invites her to his prom never imagining that she'd accept his invitation. When she does so for the publicity, he has to dump his girlfriend Helen (Virginia Weidler) in order to take Lucille. However, Helen gets wise to his antics and contemplates crashing the prom to get back her boyfriend.

>As a musical based on a stage show, there are many other notable characters. Nancy Walker plays a frumpy blind date with plenty of personality but very few beaus. June Allyson makes her first film appearance as a singer who loves frantic dancing. Gloria deHaven is right alongside her as a singer who loves the blues.

>The music is very good; none of the numbers are dull. None of the music is so catchy that you'll find yourself singing it later, but it certainly spices up the film.
