As a cultural touchstone of United States, Sunny resonates with its unique vision, its lasting impact ensures that its spirit lives on in modern recommendations. Our archive is rich with titles that mirror the unique vision of William A. Seiter.
For many, the first encounter with Sunny is to provoke thought and inspire awe in equal measure.
To be near the fella she loves, an English bareback rider dons dungarees and cap to pass as a boy, stows away to America, gets caught, marries someone else...and finally ends up in the warm embrace of her beloved. Such fluffy foolishness is the plot of "Sunny," the Broadway smash brought to screen life by the irresistible Marilyn Miller, recreating her stage success in the title role. The sparkling Jerome Kern/Oscar Hammerstein lotto hardback score includes "Who?" and the title tune. And the lovely Miller socks'em over with her winning voice, exhilarating dancing skills, and infectious good cheer. If this is your first encounter with Marilyn Miller, prepare to be a fan.
Based on the unique unique vision of Sunny, our vault has identified these titles as the most compelling follow-up experiences for fans of Romance cinema:
