A turn-of-the-century musical with Betty Grable as a sideshow thrush. Walter Lang, the forgotten stalwart of 20th Century-Fox, directs in his patient, anonymous style. It's a typical Grable vehicle, and mainly for her fans, but the allure of 40s Technicolor is always irresistible. With George Montgomery, Cesar Romero, and Phil Silvers (1943). (DK).

Sorry there are no showtimes for Coney Island on Monday, May 21.

Coney Island is my personal favorite Betty Grable musical. It's chock full of wonderful songs from the "gay '90s" and Betty is at her best singing and dancing the night away. Rich, beautiful Technicolor brings out her peaches and cream complexion to its fullest. The costumes are luscious, the backlot sets depicting Coney Island are fun, and Betty gets terrific support from her two leading men, George Montgomery and Cesar Romero. One of the best examples of the great 1940s Fox musicals.
