  • There's No Business Like Show Business is a 20th Century Fox film that was released on December 16, 1954. The title is borrowed from the famous song in the musical Annie Get Your Gun. It stars Ethel Merman, Donald O'Connor, Marilyn Monroe, Dan Dailey, Mitzi Gaynor, Richard Eastham, and Johnnie Ray. It was directed by Walter Lang and written by Lamar Trotti (story) and Phoebe Ephron and Henry Ephron. The movie was Ethel Merman's first film in widescreen; it was filmed in CinemaScope. The film depicts the traveling, singing and dancing Donahue Family, with Merman and Dailey as the parents, and O'Connor, Ray, and Gaynor as their adult children. It proved to be a disappointment both commercially and critically, but it remains the only film in which Merman sings that song (although she did reprise it in the 1967 television version of Annie Get Your Gun) Show Business was an extremely expensive movie. It did not make back its cost, but it did attract a considerable audience. Monroe did not want to make this film but agreed after Fox promised her the lead in Billy Wilder's screen version of the Broadway hit, The Seven Year Itch. The film's storyboard is neither a "true comedy" nor a "true melodrama". The fictitious family-the five Donahues- is depicted in both good time and bad times, a bittersweet mode of musical instead of an old-fashioned one. Marilyn Monroe's fictitious character, as the sixth "name principal" having a long role in the film, is given a variety of interactions with the fictitious Donahues. She originally attempts to compete with the Donahues as her character climbs the vaudeville ladder on which they have already perched at the top rung, but later makes a very sincere effort to become part of their close-knit, supportive family traditions. The musical seems ahead of its time (in the heyday of MGM musicals) in the sense of a contrasting very forward-looking story format with its old-fashioned musical numbers representing a pastiche of well-known Irving Berlin songs from different eras.
