A baby in a cradle floats down the roaring Colorado River. She is found and raised to be the unsinkable Molly Brown (Debbie Reynolds). She's an illiterate tomboy in the rural mountains and pa is concerned about getting her married. She insists on going to Denver to find herself a rich husband. Money is paramount to her. She marries miner Johnny Brown who strikes it rich. She climbs in popularity but the couple separates. She decides to return home to Johnny taking the Titanic but even there, she refuses to sink.
This is big, colorful, and really big. Debbie Reynolds is perfect in portraying the big personality. She is all gumption and enthusiasm. As for the Titanic, it's missing her claim to fame and I'm not sure why. Maybe, dealing with dying people is not quite the musical way. I wouldn't call any of the music catchy. It's big Broadway but none of it is memorable. The story can be extended but Debbie Reynolds always holds the screen without fail. Making her money obsessed is not the most appealing way to play her. My biggest complement is that Debbie Reynolds is undeniably Molly Brown.
