    Anything Goes is a Technicolor-and-Vistavision remake of the 1936 film of the same name, which in turn was based on Cole Porter's hit 1934 Broadway musical. The 1956 bears little relationship plotwise to its predecessors, except for the fact that most of the story takes place aboard a luxury liner. Bing Crosby and Donald O'Connor star as Bill Benson and Ted Adams, a pair of top Broadway tunesmiths who agree to collaborate on their next musical just as soon as they complete their respective vacations. Complications arise when, unbeknownst to one another, Bill and Ted each sign up a potential leading lady; Bill's choice is ballerina Gaby Duval (Zizi Jeanmaire), while Ted's selection is brassy chanteuse Patsy Blair (Mitzi Gaynor). Retained from the original Cole Porter score are such standards as "You're the Top," "I Get a Kick Out of You" (with appropriately laundered lyrics), "Blow, Gabriel Blow," and the title tune. New songs, penned by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen, include "You Gotta Give the People Hoke" and "A Second-Hand Turban and a Crystal Ball." To avoid confusion with the 1956 adaptation of Anything Goes, the 1936 version was for many years retitled Tops is the Limit for television. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    August 20, 2006: I'm a huge Donald O'Connor fan, so when I saw another one of his movies out on DVD, I had to see it. I invited a friend over (who's also crazy about him) and we watched it together. This is not the greatest musical I've ever seen, but it was funny and both Bing Crosby and Donald O'Connor did a good job as two bewildered guys scrambling to find a way to get both girls a part in their production. They don't want to let them down, but there is only one leading lady needed. I liked most of the dance routines, but a couple of them were kind of long and (it seemed to me) pointless. Still, it was worth watchig. Donald O'Connor is terrific!!!
