...well, a very cool film for celebrating Independence Day...
...and, as I have done at least a couple of reviews on this one, this will be a pretty abbreviated one (since, honestly, I have a sinus infection going on as I type...). but, as always, there are new things picked up upon a new viewing...
...First, and foremost... this movie... is the APEX of Ginger 'facetime'... this film captures Ginger at her most radiant, and has SO many incredible close-ups, that... it may well be my favorite in terms of "wall-to-wall GINGER!!!" As proof, I present Exhibit A-11A, which is a true murder's row of Screen Captured Ginger Perfection...
OH how incredible Ginger's eyes are...
Such a cool hat... not practical in the least, but... SO awesome on Miss Rogers' beautiful noggin...
...as a side note, this parasol has an aluminum frame and what appears to be a plastic 'hub', where neither of which were most likely used in colonial parasol design... just for the record...
...one BIG thing, and this is typical for most actors and actresses, is that... the left side of the face was Ginger's 'good side' (or, shall we say, the ever so slightly more sheer perfect side)... but it seems like there have been other films with her 'favoring' her right-hand side... most likely it's the director's call... but this sequence of caps is a brief cross-section of incredible GingerCaps within this film... Heck, I didn't even add any of the 'ballroom' pics, which is the MOST incredible she is in this film, and maybe, just maybe, at ANY point in her career...
...yupyupyup... there are no words, y'all...
OK... well... the movie itself is quite entertaining, although not sure of how historically accurate it is... I guess we need some FactCheck stuff for this one... but it is a relatively fast-paced film which has some 'love interest' stuff interwoven into it (one of the earlier reviews I did noted there wasn't much 'romance' in the film, but... guess I was totally focusing on GINGER, and not the storyline...)
Well, that's it... I'm going to zonk out... but this film is HEARTILY recommended, and is a TOTAL MUST for any Gingerologist... It is available on DVD - check out Amazon or Movies Unlimited...
Until Later...
KIG, y'all!

OMG, YES!!! Ginger is simply at the very height of her mature beauty in this film. This is my benchmark for believing that a woman is at the top of her adult beauty game at age 35-36. Simply Glorious!! And no, this movie is not historically 100% accurate, but after all, the makers had to create entertainment that was to make a profit, yes?? This work was not created to be an educational film for classroom viewing, but rather good movie house fare. A Hallmark production, I've felt that this might have been a true predecessor of TV's "Hallmark Hall of Fame" series, which was terrific back in the day. Taking a romantic road of the Dolley story (and with Ginger, how could you do less??), the history wasn't really accurate. But must confess that it led me to the "Learn more about it" road, as I looked up the principals to see what really happened. If "Magnificent Doll" is the impetus to others doing the same, then it fulfilled a mighty purpose. I too recommend that everyone find a copy and watch this movie! Plus, this is the only time I recall seeing Ginger riding a horse sidesaddle!! Enjoy the movie!
