I realize that “Breakfast of Champions” and “Ghost Dad” provide formidable competition, but the stupidest movie ever made in our state has to be the “Duchess of Idaho.” Filmed in Sun Valley in January 1950, it was an MGM musical about ... well, pay attention or you’ll get lost. Actress Paula Raymond plays the love-struck secretary to uber-rich playboy John Lund, but her real job is running interference among female fortune-hunters trying to ensnare her boss. Her best friend, played by swimmer Esther Williams in a dry-land role, wants to help Raymond snag Lund. The playboy hops a train for Sun Valley, with Raymond in tow and Williams in pursuit. The plan is that Williams will try to seduce Lund, Raymond will rescue him in the nick of time, and Lund will realize how fond he is of his girl/Steve Crump, Twin Falls Times-News. More here.

Question: Are you a fan of musicals, movie of theatrical? Which musical is your favorite?
