	My Sister Eileen
		Two innocent sisters from Ohio hit Greenwich Village and must cope with wall-shaking subway construction, the neighborhood kooks, and a whopping $65 a month for an apartment.
		My Sister Eileen is one of those "Look out, world, we're conquering Manhattan!" movies, with Betty Garrett as a plain, would-be writer and Janet Leigh as her knockout sister, an aspiring actress who draws men like milk draws kittens.
		MY SISTER EILEEN was Columbia's answer when they could not secure the film rights to WONDERFUL TOWN, the hugely-successful Broadway musical version of Ruth McKenney's "Eileen Stories".

	My Sister Eileen (1942)
		Sisters Ruth and Eileen Sherwood move from Ohio to New York in the hopes of building their careers.
		Ruth and Eileen McKenney were sisters from a small town in Ohio who came to New York City: Ruth intending to become an author, Eileen hoping to be an actress.
		The 1942 film 'My Sister Eileen' is a faithful (and funny) version of the Broadway hit, although it bears only slight resemblance to the real-life exploits of sisters Ruth and Eileen McKenney (here renamed Sherwood).

	My Sister Eileen (1955) Filmjudge DVD Review
		Eileen does meet Frank Lippincott, a soda jerk at the local lunch counter played by legendary dancer and choreographer Bob Fosse.
		Based on the stories by Ruth McKenney inspired by her sister Eileen, the stories were adapted into a stage play, a film and a TV series, this version of My Sister Eileen is in the vein of the big MGM musicals of the 40's and 50's and sure to please most lovers of the form.
		Eileen (Janet Leigh), a beautiful aspiring actress and Ruth (Betty Garrett), a loveless would-be-writer, move to New York to realize their dreams.

	My Sister Eileen (1955)
		As Eileen, Janet Leigh is perky and lovable, but it is Betty Garrett who steals the scene as Ruth with her wonderfully likable personality.
		Eileen, as played by Edie Adams, comes off as unknowingly selfish, while Leigh's Eileen is a seemingly goody-goody miss perfect.
		Russell and Garrett are both perfect as Eileen, and I am glad that Garrett had the chance to play the part which Russell had already done on film the decade before.

	Seven Classic Films from Sony Pictures - Reviews by David Nusair
		My Sister Eileen is a breezy, lightweight musical featuring some fancy footwork (courtesy of choreographer Bob Fosse) and a funnier-than-expected screenplay (Blake Edwards co-wrote with director Richard Quine).
		The story revolves around a pair of sisters (played by Betty Garrett and Janet Leigh) who head to the big city with dreams of success, only to find out it's not quite as easy as they might've hoped.
		Jack Lemmon, as a potential suitor for one of the sisters, is just as charming and engaging as ever (and even gets to belt out a show tune of his own).

	'Sister Eileen' to Daughter, Eileen, a State Judge - New York Times
		RUTH McKENNEY'S sister, Eileen, died in 1940 at age 26 in an automobile accident in California, two years after ''My Sister Eileen'' was published and four days before its first stage version opened on Broadway.
		''Eileen was on her way home to Los Angeles, where she worked as executive assistant to Walt Disney, to take an airplane to get to New York in time for the opening,'' the judge said.
		The 1940 play ''My Sister Eileen,'' based on the stories and written by Joseph A. Fields and Jerome Chodorov, ran for more than two years, became a 1942 movie starring Rosalind Russell and was the basis for the 1953 musical ''Wonderful Town,'' now a hit Broadway revival at the Al Hirschfeld Theater.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- MY SISTER EILEEN (1955)
		The plot of MY SISTER EILEEN follows the arrival of Ruth Sherwood (Betty Garrett) and her sister Eileen (Janet Leigh) in New York’s Greenwich Village.
		Ruth and Eileen are a pair of Ohio natives, who have come to New York to pursue their respective dreams of become a writer and actress.
		With little money, the still green Ohio sisters are hornswoggled into taking a basement apartment that offers them little privacy, as well as being directly over a new subway tunnel, where construction crews blast away with dynamite at regular intervals.

		My Sister Eileen is a Technicolor, musicalized remake of the 1942 comedy of the same name.
		Most of those experiences are predicated on the misadventures of would-be actress Eileen, who has an uncanny knack for attracting strange men--not to mention a whole heap of trouble.
		Dancer/choreographers Bob Fosse and Tommy Rall costar as a timid soda jerk and wise-guy reporter, respectively, but their "roles" are merely excuses for a steady stream of flashy musical numbers, penned by Jule Styne and Leo Robin.

	My Sister Eileen (1955): Janet Leigh, Betty Garrett, Jack Lemmon, Bob Fosse - PopMatters Film Review
		My Sister Eileen is cinematic cotton candy, dissolving the moment it hits the tongue.
		Eileen is blonde and vivacious, Ruth is dour and taciturn, feeling overshadowed by her pert sister.
		The problem here is that we're obviously supposed to identify with Ruth, and root for her to find love despite her hapless sister, but neither Ruth nor Eileen compel the viewer to do so much as yawn.

		There is also a common law couple living upstairs because he could not afford to marry her but also could not afford to live in two suites.

	dOc DVD Review: My Sister Eileen (1955)
		There's a lot of quality talent involved in My Sister Eileen, but somehow this perky 1950s musical never reaches the scintillating heights one expects from such an impressive collection of résumés.
		She hoped My Sister Eileen would spark a professional renaissance, but even though the film gave her the kind of starring role of which she'd always been worthy, and showcases both her effervescent, wisecracking personality and marvelous talent for musical comedy, it didn't generate any buzz.
		My Sister Eileen has certainly never looked better, and the lush treatment will please fans of the musical genre.

	Tribeca 2005 Review: My Sister Eileen - Cinematical
		My spirit slightly broken by several days of uneven festival features, it was a true joy to sink into a puffy chair in front of Pace University's ultrawide screen to watch a restored print of the 1955 Technicolor truffle My Sister Eileen.
		Neither has an easy time of it: men are drawn to Eileen like gnats to an open sore, which turns every audition she attends into a moral test.
		My Sister Eileen is more screwball sex-farce than Classical musical (watch out for a lot of double entendres about Violet, who "used to read palms or something"), but the numbers, choreographed by Fosse, are miracles of modern dance.

	DVD review of My Sister Eileen - DVDTOWN.com
		It would be tempting to rate "My Sister Eileen" based on sentiment alone, or a fondness for fun film facts.
		"My Sister Eileen" is a musical remake of the 1942 film of the same name, which was based on a play, which in turn was based on stories written by Ruth McKenney about her real-life sister.
		Tommy Rall plays a randy newspaperman who has the hots for Eileen, and Fosse plays his chief rival, a good-guy soda fountain manager from the local Walgreens (which, by the way, is a fun blast-from-the-past for nostalgia-lovers and history buffs).

	Wonderful Town, a CurtainUp review
		In case you're unfamiliar with the plot (derived from a series of short stories by Ruth McKenney) that drives the baker's dozen of songs: Ruth Sherwood and her irresistible to men younger sister Eileen are two country mice who've left Ohio to pursue their dream of writing and acting careers in New York City.
		My adorable grandson wouldn't be here if his mother hadn't had the urge and courage to leave her newspaper reporter's job in South Bend, Indiana to try her luck in New York City.
		My recollections of the original staging tend to be a somewhat hazy mix of play and movie versions.
