ANYTHING BUT LOVE, which celebrates the style and sensibility of the 50’s Technicolor musicals, tells a contemporary love story of a young woman choosing between the life she wants and the dreams she can’t live without. The film stars ISABEL ROSE as Billie Golden, a woman infatuated with the glamour of an era long past. Dressed to the nines in the look of Hepburn and Hayworth, Billie envisions herself singing in plush nightclubs amidst velvet curtains and the sparkle of champagne. After a series of setbacks, she runs into high school heartthrob, Greg Ellenbogen (CAMERON BANCROFT), who quickly sweeps her off her feet. But when she meets a jaded pianist, Elliot Shepard (ANDREW MCCARTHY), she finds herself caught between competing dreams, a dilemma only EARTHA KITT can solve. ANYTHING BUT LOVE pays homage to the type of movie that was a staple of the American moviegoers diet in the 40’s and 50’s. Shot in an approximation of Technicolor, and employing many of the techniques made popular by such legendary filmmakers as Vincent Minnelli and Arthur Freed, ANYTHING recollects those films while presenting an original story set in contemporary Manhattan. If you are familiar with BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S, FUNNY FACE, BAND WAGON or PILLOW TALK, you are in for a real treat. While not a satire, ANYTHING is certainly an experience in nostalgia, not only for the good old days of cinema but also for a time when glamour was everything and the spotlights shined on beautiful men and women and when the world danced. -- © Samuel Goldwyn Films [More]
