Reviews for The Unsinkable Molly Brown
Debbie Reynolds received her only Oscar nomination for playing the title role of this artistically mediocre but commercially popular musical comedy about the rags to riches of the Denver heroine who was also a passenger on the Titanic.
There's a reason why Charles Walters' musicals are less remembered than Stanley Donen's.
