Customer Reviews of Rhythm on the River
One of Bing Crosby's best This film is a real gas, a brisk, amiable comedy with a sharp script and snappy dialogue. Bing Crosby stars as an unambitous pop music composer who ghostwrites smash hits for a society bandleader who's lost his Muse. When the unscrupulous bandleader (deliciously played by Basil Rathbone) has to hire a new lyricist, and she just happens to be the gal Bing was checking out in the elevator on the way up to Basil's office, well... romance is in the air. Trad jazz trumpeter Wingy Manone adds some sock to the music, while Bing's real-life bandleader, John Scott Thomas has a nice cameo as a show-biz rival. Mary Martin isn't my favorite actress of the era, but she's fine in this role, and the film whizzes along at a pleasant pace. An entirely enjoyable comedy that features Crosby in one of his most cool, cute and urbane phases. Recommended!
Bing is great in this light, fun musical
In "Rhythym on the River", Bing Crosby plays a casual, easy going guy with an unnoticed talent for songwriting; unnoticed because he is a ghostwriter for another songwriterplayed by Basil Rathbone who is basically a has been. Meanwhile, Mary Martin comes along and finds chemistry with the Crosby character and together, they try to gain fame as songwriters. If you like Bing Crosby films, you will doubtless love this film. While it is neither a serious film nor anything close to Crosby's best work, it is certainly worth watching.
p.s.: for those of you who are Carpenters fans, Richard Carpenter got the idea for one of the Carpenters' big hits by watching this film and hearing the title of a fictional song that had been written by Basil Rathbone's character. The song would become a top ten tune for Karen and Richard. In case you are wondering, the song was "Goodbye to Love."
