Summary: Gazebo Nostalgia
Comment: "The Gazebo" was just as I remembered it from years and
years ago...funny, clever and just the right amount of
suspense. The old black and white movies are hard to
beat and this one certainly proves it. It's a must!!

Summary: Fun Broadway adaptation
Comment: Debbie Reynolds stars as a Broadway actress married to a successful TV mystery series producer (The ever reliable Glenn Ford.The marriage is blissfully happy and prosperous until she starts being blackmailed over a series of nude photographs she posed for while still a struggling yopung actress.Ford decides to employ a device from one of his shows and decides to dispose of the villain and bury him under an item of garden furniture -the Gazebo of thr title .Complications ensue when he kills the wrong man -or does he ?
This is the sort of movie that is fun without ever being outrageously funny .It only really becomes laugh out loud hilarious when the murder is being planned and throughout the picture I was smiling a lot without ever really laughing out loud .
Reynolds and Ford give likeable performances but the movie is stolen from under their noses by a parade of insouciant veterans like John McGiver,Dora Melende and Martin Landau .There is a pleasing musical interlude from Reynolds with the song Something Called Love and the experienced George Marshall directs with the appropriate lightness of touch for the material
The movie is a long way from being a classic but most people will have a good time watching it

Summary: Hilarious!
Comment: There haven't been many American film comedies that really make me laugh out loud. I've usually had to turn to the Terry-Thomas, Peter Sellers, British movies of the 50s for that. But The Gazebo is an exception. It's an American comedy with that whacky, mad-in-a-sane-world British spirit.
Glenn Ford keeps up a frenetic pace as he tries to dispose of a dead body without letting his wife know what he's up to. He encounters one hilarious obstacle after another in simply trying to rid himself of the thing.
Debbie Reynolds doesn't know what to think when she asks Ford what happened to their shower curtain and he feverishly replies, "Well, a man collecting for Hungarian Relief came to the door, and I gave it to him."
You know any movie that contains the quizzical line, "You donated our shower curtain to Hungarian Relief?" - has GOT to be funny. This is a gem that deserves to be put into wider DVD distribution SOON!
