I saw this movie for the first time when my friend brought it over to my house after getting off work. I wanted to watch it because I saw that it featured Ann-Margaret. At first I was disappointed that she had such a minor role, but then I realized just how good an actor Christian Bale is. I'd never seen him in a movie, and I really liked him. I also liked the young man who played Spot Conlon, and the boy who played Crutchy.

Another thing that I like about this movie is that it exposes the way child labor is abused by selfish businessmen, who steal from their teenage employees to pad their pockets. The movie makes you stop and think about child labor, and one may realize that the abuse the newsies suffered is still being suffered by hardworking teenagers who are paid minimum wage for twice the amount of work they are capable of accomplishing.

This is an excellent movie with fairly good music, a little comedy, a good plot, and some touching scenes. Plus you get to see Ann-Margaret.

A rich socialite Sally Parker flees her wedding only to fly to France with an undercover newspaper reporter Mike Anthony. Mike knows that Sally hates reporters, so he keeps his vocation a secret. The two are pursued by police, a rival newspaper man, and a sinister Baron ad Baroness. In the midst of all this there's romance and comedy throughout the film.

I don't really like Clark Gable, but I must admit that he is a good actor, and I like this movie because it is a mix between romance, mystery, and comedy. If you ever run across this movie on Cable or in the store I would recommend watching it. Good movie.

Elvis plays a poor seaman who has his heart set on buying the boat that he and his late father built together. The cast was good and Elvis really put some heart into the acting. The music was average though with silly songs like "Walls Have Ears" and "Three Little Crawfish"; however the songs "Return to Sender" and "A Boy Like Me And a Girl Like You" make up for the sillier songs. I really think the story is touching in view of the fact that Elvis' character cared so much about his father that he was willing to do anything to but the boat to remember him by. Young people don't have much respect for their parents in modern society, and they sometimes scoff at their parents' achievements. I like this movie because it is a picture of a devoted son who really honored his father. There was some mildly suggestive dialog throughout the movie, but it was just suggestive and not too obvious. A good movie for teens!
