Accept no substitutes---there's only ONE Ethel Merman, and what better way to preserve her unique power and presence than this fine film version of her 1950 stage hit?
And Donald O'Connor's performance is equally fabulous---in fact, the Amazon reviewer ...

I'm a huge fan of Donald O'Connor, and had no idea this movie existed until reading some of his biography online. So after watching some clips on YouTube and finally renting it from Netflix, I was hooked and bought it. Irving Berlin's music is ...

"Call Me Madame," is a beautiful and colorful musical. Ethel Merman is great and sings out some lovely songs.. Also Vera-Ellen is lovely in it and does a great dance number with Donald O'Connor," it's really good and well worth seeing. George Sanders ...

Thank God Hollywood didn't fool with the casting on this one and was wise enough to keep Merman in the role she created. It is often said she was "too big" for film, but she certainly is perfect in this role and her bigger than life persona works ...
