Meet Me In Las Vegas [Remaster]

I wasn't sure how good this movie was going to be but I was sure how good the cast was so I purchased it and I'm glad I did. The storyline is a little thin but still fun,guy(Dan Dailey)meets girl(Cyd Charisse)they date and start to like each other then guy loses girl then gets girl back.The story is mainly set at The Sands hotel with the exception of a side trip Dailey and Charisse take to his large ranch.Great dance and musical numbers make this a fine addition to any movie collectors library.

Want to see something not predictable..watch this.

I'm 67 and I finally bought this because I watch it once a year at least. Just a oldie feel good movie.Its got music and comedy and great stars and bit players.Of course, a happy ending.

There are few movies that can be said by me to have kept me smiling throughout, except when laughing out loud. This is one of the few. I first saw this movie in 1956 or 57 when it first came out and haven't seen it since until this new DVD that I bought from Amazon. Picture clarity good as is the color.The memories it brought back include my remembering my earliest trips to Las Vegas when the flashing neon signs featured in the movie were the real thing and not distant memories. The Sands, Desert Inn, Sahara, Silver Slipper, Dunes, Thunderbird were very much the reality of a much more relaxed, westernized Vegas than is there today, to say nothing in the change of population.As to the movie, Watching Cyd Charisse dance is mesmerizing..the Frankie and Johnnie dance near the end with the background singing done by Sammy Davis Jr. is absolutely spectacular. The early ballet rehearsal is equally entrancing.Also, the spots done by Lena Horne and Frankie Laine were terrific and both done when they were respectively at the top of their game.I urge those who weren't privileged to visit Vegas during the years shown in the movie to see this. It is a snapshot into a time when we old folks understood the true meaning of entertainment. A dinner theater setting is much more enjoyable than what is most common today and that is theater seating which is about as personal as riding coach in an airline.The other actors weren't "no names" as one reviewer stated, but were among the top box office stars of their time. Apart from this disagreement, let me say that Dan Dailey played his role very well, Cyd was terrific, Agnes Moorhead did her usual fine job as did Jim Backus and Paul Henreid.Short cameos by Frank Sinatra, Peter Lorre, Debby Reynolds, Vic Damone and even Cyd's husband Tony Martin (who actually had a line of dialogue) added to my enjoyment.All said a most enjoyable time and highly recommend this movie to everyone.

"Meet Me in Las Vegas" is a great movie. It is fun musical from back when MGM made these kind of movies. The dancing was great...songs were wonderful from some of these singers you don't see anymore and is a definately cute movie. This is a widescreen version of the movie which does give you more to look at but is hard to see on your television set unless you have a 60inch television. But if you want to see a good movie, and don't mind seeing it a smaller version....then this movie is for you. The artwork on the cover does not do this movie any justice, but it is what is inside that counts. And the movie is good and fun to watch.... you can always use the zoom in feature on your television set which does help seeing the people somewhat better. But I would say buy this movie and enjoy a look back to a great little musical and some great stars....to make you happy...

Meet Me In Las Vegas Remastered!..This is a superb movie and also a historic one, be it just for the cast.My only complaint is that if this was remastered I dread to think what the original video was like.May I suggest that Warner Bros. go back to the workshop and give this one the Blu-Ray treatment and remove all the picture defects, not that there are many, but some are disracting and there is a feeling it should be sharpened up, as the focus seems a little soft!

This film contains all the marks of the big MGM musical -- lavish production numbers, lots of singing and dancing, and stars... Except the stars aren't exactly top flight. And you've never heard of any of the songs. And the musical numbers veer into the bizarre.There are two really unbelievable scenes. In one, the British music hall star Jerry Colonna kicks off a number called "My Lucky Charms," and the showgirls have wacky costumes that could have been designed by the same person who designed the showgirl costumes in the "Springtime for Hitler" number in "The Producers" -- remember the pretzel and beer stein costumes? Like that. And then there's a ballet number in which two dozen dancers play volleyball. Yes, with a net and a ball -- en pointe.The story is forgettable, and so is the acting, but if you've got a few friends over and you're feeling giddy, pop this into the VCR and let the good times roll.

I have been an admirer of Cyd Charisse for many years and did not know of this film untill it turned up on Amazon.It has to one of the greatest family movies of all time, pure pleasure to watch, no smut car chases and violence just clean fun romance and the best of all the dancing by Cyd Charisse, the actual plot is a bit thin but who cares when there's Dan Daily and Cyd Charisse, it's fun and a perfect vehicle for Cyd Charisse to show she can also be funny as well as dance. It is a must have movie if only for the dancing.

Dan Dailey and Cyd Charisse do their best here and the "Frankie and Johnny" number is great but the rest of this film set in the Las Vegas of 1957 is quite frankly a bit boring.Theres a cameo with Lena Horne singing a bland song (the other one was cut) another cameo by Frankie Lane singing about a woman scorned,Sinatra has a (non-singing) 15 sec appearance playing a slot machine and Peter Lorre the same but at a card table.The other dance numbers,apart from 2 ballets (one of which includes a volleyball net!!) seem to have a vaguely country and western flavour and theres an audition of a little japanese girl complete with kimono who first sings in japanese and then a duet in english with Dailey.Very much of its time and definately much more geared to the american market of its day and probably would have bombed anywhere else.

Lively 50s musical with lovely Cyd Charrise and versatile Dan Dailey one of the last of MGMs Technicolor musicals filmed inpart in the then Las Vegas so different from today unfortunately

not as good as i thought it would be

Old fashioned entertaining musical. Shows its age but worth a watch

The music is stereo and spoken dialog is in the middle Mono . Sometimes you only hear a little stereo music effect wearing headphones as the stereo isn't spread wide across your speakers . The look of the properly presented anamorphic CinemaScope picture is a little dark but is mostly good quality , few blemishes and strong colour . As with all my Warner Archive DVD's so far purchased , it's actually Region Code free .
