Busty Eileen draws attention everywhere she goes &#8212; specifically from a soda fountain manager (Bob Fosse) and his acquaintance (Tommy Rall); meanwhile, Ruth (Garrett) tries to sell some of her stories about life with her attractive sister to a publisher (Jack Lemmon) who believes Garrett is &#8220;Eileen&#8221;.\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>\n<strong>Genres, Themes, Actors, and Directors:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Brian Aherne Films<\/li>\n<li>Jack Lemmon Films<\/li>\n<li>Janet Leigh<\/li>\n<li>Musicals<\/li>\n<li>New York City<\/li>\n<li>Writers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Review: <\/strong><br \/>\nBob Fosse choreographed and co-starred in this enjoyable Cinemascope musical &#8212; based on a 1940 play by Jerome Chodorov and Joseph Fields &#8212; which was itself inspired by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ruth_McKenney\">Ruth McKenney&#8217;s autobiographical stories<\/a>. The storyline, focusing on two young hopefuls navigating The Big City, remains as timeless as ever, and while it&#8217;s challenging to watch Eileen literally harassed wherever she goes, we can contextualize the scenario as &#8220;of the era&#8221; and be grateful we&#8217;ve moved on at least somewhat (or have we?). Garrett is  pitch-perfect in the leading role, and Leigh is appropriately guileless as her lovable sister; there&#8217;s no way one could dislike Eileen as portrayed here. The musical sequences are a delight, and it&#8217;s fun to see Fosse himself on-screen. I also happen to enjoy the subplot about &#8220;Wreck&#8221; (York) hanging around the apartment making himself useful, his &#8220;unique&#8221;, oh-so-New-York relationship with Marlow unthreatened by Leigh&#8217;s presence.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Betty Garrett as Ruth<br \/>\n<a
