Up in Central Park (1948)
In this big-screen version of the Dorothy Fields-Sigmund Romberg Broadway musical set in 1870s New York, Deanna Durbin plays Irish immigrant Rosie Moore, who becomes involved with a tabloid news reporter John Matthews (Dick Haymes) and the corrupt politician Boss Tweed (Vincent Price). With her help and a few forgettable songs later, Matthews manages to expose Tweed's Tammany Hall scams.
Vincent does his shouty best in this limp squid of a musical. For Price completists only.
Based on the Dorothy and Herbert Fields play by Karl Tunberg CAST Deanna Durbin as Rosie Moore Dick Haynes as John Matthews Vincent Price as Boss Tweed Albert Sharpe as Tim Moore
