Product Description

The reformer is Andrew Rockton Hale (Dick Powell), running for mayor on a good-government platform. The redhead is Kathleen Maguire (June Allyson), a zoo superintendent's daughter who keeps a full-grown lion as a house cat. When a corrupt party boss unjustly bounces Maguire's father from his job, the two become political -- and romantic -- partners, despite Hale's misgivings about hanging around 500 pounds of feline. And that's before a different lion escapes from the zoo, and Hale confuses the predator for the pet! Real-life marrieds Powell and Allyson bring sparkling chemistry to this fast-paced farce. The Reformer and the Redhead is produced, directed and scripted by one of the most talented teams in comedy-film history: Norman Panama and Melvin Frank, the duo whose writing credits include Monsieur Beaucaire, Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House and The Court Jester, among other all-time favorites.

If you like June Allyson, like we do, and Dick Powell, then you're in for treat with this traditional and fun romantic comedy.

Dick Powell plays a deceptive politician declaring himself a reformer running for mayor; June Allyson(his real life wife) plays a fiery redhead daughter of a zoo keeper and animal lover. Both have an issue with the local political boss. She believes his hype about being a reformer looking to stand up for the underdog and righteous causes. A quirky but funny romance develops between the two, and he starts to believe his own hype- up to a point.

Heads are sure to roll and fireworks galore with some terrific animal shots with her pet Lion, Herman. Our kids loved this movie, and they usually can't stand contemporary Hallmark romantic comedies which many we like. Great chemistry between the stars and super co-stars like droll David Wayne. After this one watch Good News with June Allyson and Peter Lawford in a collegiate musical comedy.

Surprisingly ahead of its time with corrupt politicians caring only to be re-elected, big boss party criminals, and a family that hunts big game in Africa. Ironic that I just watched this movie again in the same week that Trump's boys are in The News about big game hunting in Africa. Of course, not knowing or remembering the plot, I just wanted to see June Allyson again. Killing lions and elephants, yuck. Well, back then, the idea of placing stuffed heads on the walls of...the San Diego Zoo Main Office.... OMG. Animal lovers will be shocked but eventually pleased with the Message. And my shrink wants to find out why I appreciate June Allyson's gravelly voice. If only Dick Powell had got to sing?

I saw this for the first time on TCM a few weeks ago. The chemistry on set between real life wife and husband June Allyson and Dick Powell was great. The story is fun, but the interaction between the stars was wonderful.

June Allyson is a peach! Dick Powell is great! Together, they make a wonderful comedic team. The redhead, (June) is a fiery seeker of justice and right. Dick Powell is a typical politician, willing to take money and support from whoever will offer it...until he meets his conscience; the red head. She shows him what it means to have the support of the "little guy" and that integrity matters. Everyone who runs for public office should watch this movie and learn some important lessons.

A mechanical plot, done dozens of times, often better. Dick Powell, June Allyson and the other actors try hard, but the script is limp as way too old lettuce.
