It was one of the first movies I ever bought...along with other musicals. I know people ridicule musicals, but I like 'em, and they're among the few kinds of movies that I can watch over and over and over and over...
I also have "Annie Get Your Gun", but that's because one brother gifted the family with it, and several younger siblings brought it over and "accidentally" forgot it here. They did the same with "Pajama Game" (I'm sorry if anyone likes it, but *gack*!) and "South Pacific (ditto...though that one actually has a few good songs).
"Good Morning!"
I can't believe Gene Kelly is wearing brown shoes with a gray suit.
Does "Quadrophenia" count as a Musical? :-)
Tut, tut.
But he does wear suits! I like that about old movies. The guys always look pretty snazzy...
And color coordination doesn't matter as much when you're filming in black and white like his character was! ;-)
I dunno.
'Cause I have no clue whatofyouspeak...
Gene Kelly must have been a winter...he looks good in black or white.
How about the suits in the "Fit as a Fiddle" number? ;-)
Those were worse than the suits in Guys and Dolls.
"Sue me..."
Legend has it that he did the "Singing in the Rain" number with a temp. of 104.
Gosh! I'd never heard that! Poor guy...
And you know the scene where Cathy is dubbing Lena's voice? It's acutally the Lena actress dubbing Debbie Reynolds.
[sigh] I am so very old.
The Who. Movie. Quadrophenia.
Actually, the movie is not high art, but the music is good. There's a particularly good scene with "Love, Reign o'er me" that is pretty much the best ever. That's still my favorite Who song.
I'm trying to figure this one out...
I thought Sting was involved...and a moped wreck...
It's the scene where Cathy Selden (Debbie Reynolds) is dubbing Lena's (Jean Hagen) dialog. Jean Hagen is actually dubbing over Debbie Reynolds.
Uh oh....Cyd Charisse just showed up.
Ya know...I couldn't tell you a single song The Who ever did. Which is a shortcoming on my part, for all I know.
But age doesn't necessarily have much to do with it! These musicals are older, I'd guess!
It's kinda funny...I have major gaps in my musical knowledge when it comes to the eighties and nineties - dunno really much of anything from the late eighties and early nineties in particular - but I know a LOT of music from "before my time", especially from the early sixties on back.
Coin flippin' dudes about?
yep.
It always cracks me up as he's working his way up to the Ziegfield Follies. Every single chorus line has the same choreography.
