In 1919, Terrance (Dan Dailey) and Molly (Ethel Merman) Donahue, a husband-and-wife vaudeville team known as the Donahues, pursue both a stable family life as well as success with their rendition of Midnight Train to Alabam.
IMDB: Rating 6.5/10
As the years pass and the kids Steve, Katy, and Tim join the act one by one, their act eventually becomes the Five Donahues . Worried that the children will suffer from their nomadic lifestyle, Molly persuades Terry to send them to a Catholic boarding school, but the youngsters, missing both their parents and the thrill of performing, continually try to run away. Comforted by Father Dineen's assurances that the children are better off with them, Terry and Molly buy a home in New Jersey for their brood, but when the Depression hits Terry and Molly are forced to take whatever jobs they can find, including singing for radio advertisements and working at a carnival.
Eventually, movie theaters come to their rescue by providing live stage entertainment before showings, and the Donahues are back to performing. In 1937, Tim graduates from high school, and the act becomes the Five Donahues once again, with Katy (Mitzi Gaynor) concentrating on dancing, Steve (Johnnie Ray) demonstrating an admirable singing voice, and Tim (Donald O'Connor) being an all-around performer like his father.
The family is a success and have soon hit the top, thrilling audiences at New York's famed Hippodrome Theatre with an extravagant multi-themed performance of "Alexander's Ragtime Band" with each family member being featured in their own segment in addition to the ensemble sections which bookend the piece.
One night after a show, a worried Molly and Terry return home alone while Katy goes out on a date, Steve takes a walk, and the womanizing Tim goes out with an older chorus girl. Katy and Tim both wind up at a nightclub, Gallagher's Golden Pheasant Room, where Tim teases Victoria Hoffman, (Marilyn Monroe) a hatcheck girl about the unnatural elocution her singing teacher has instructed her to practice
There's No Business Like Show Business (1954) is a 20th Century-Fox high-budgeted musical film that was released on December 16, 1954. The title is borrowed from the famous song in the stage musical (and MGM film) Annie Get Your Gun.
The film stars Ethel Merman, Donald O'Connor, Marilyn Monroe, Dan Dailey, Mitzi Gaynor, and Johnnie Ray. It was directed by Walter Lang and written by Lamar Trotti (story) and Phoebe Ephron and Henry Ephron. It was filmed in CinemaScope and DeLuxe color.
There's No Business Like Show Business Blu-ray, Audio Quality
The film's original 4-channel stereophonic sound has been modestly and effectively reengineered into a lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track. Don't expect much rear-channel interaction from this mix—the surrounds are used only sparsely to fill out the song 'n' dance numbers—but the front- heavy presentation is more than adequate. Although the film might be dramatically limp, There's No Business Like Show Business is an Irving Berlin fan's dream, with musical numbers galore. Most notably, there are several variations—a Scottish version! a German version! a French version!— on Berlin's 1911 hit "Alexander's Ragtime Band." If a little dynamically flat and bass-less, like a lot of mid-century movies, the music sounds great, with no peaking in the highs and no hisses or crackles. The vocal performances are cleanly recorded, and dialogue between characters is always easily understood. The disc includes a Dolby Digital 4.0 track for comparison, along with several dub and subtitle options for those who might need or want them.

There's No Business Like Show Business Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
This isn't so much a Marilyn Monroe film as it is an extended Marilyn Monroe cameo, which makes it an odd inclusion in this week's spate of Monroe Blu- ray debuts. (Not to mention the Forever Marilyn box set.) Marilyn's contribution to the film was basically to give it some sexy star power, which it desperately needed since it was so fuddy-duddy traditional otherwise. Irving Berlin lovers looking for a kind of career retrospective will be pleased, but those after something beyond merely musical spectacle will find the film's lack of drama and seemingly unending runtime patience-testing. 20th Century Fox's new Blu-ray transfer is strong, though, so if you're a fan of the film I see no reason not to upgrade.

Recovery Volumes (.rev)
Recovery volumes or .rev files are special files which can be created by WinRAR/RAR and allow you to reconstruct missing and damaged files in a volume set. They can
only be used with multi-volume archives.
This feature may be useful for backups or, for example, when you post a multivolume archive to a newsgroup and some of the subscribers did not receive some files. Reposting recovery volumes instead of usual volumes may reduce the total number of files to repost.
Each recovery volume is able to reconstruct one missing RAR volume. For example, if you have 30 volumes and 3 recovery volumes, you are able to reconstruct any 3 missing volumes. If the number of .rev files is less than a number of missing volumes, reconstructing is impossible. The total number of usual and recovery volumes must not exceed 255 and the number of recovery volumes must be less than the number of RAR volumes.
WinRAR reconstructs missing and damaged volumes either when clicking on .rev file, or when using rc command or automatically, if it cannot locate the next volume and finds the required number of .rev files when unpacking.
You may use the "Recovery volumes" option in the Archive name and parameters dialog or a similar option also appears in the Protect archive command to create recovery volumes. In the command line mode you may do it with -rv switch or rv command.
Original copies of damaged volumes are renamed to *.bad before reconstruction. For example, volname.part03.rar will be renamed to volname.part03.rar.bad.
