Hmmm, I'm not a fan of musicals.
ReplyDeleteI love them!
DeleteI finally checked out this site for the list of movies. I saw from the trailer the famed Ginger Rogers was in this. I like that both men & women wear hats & oh the costumes!
ReplyDeleteYes, Hats! The world needs more hats :)
Delete...and Melania Trumps is one today!
ReplyDeleteShe got more -and less- than she bargained for ;)
DeleteI have seen this! I remember it as being a lot of fun.
ReplyDelete--A Pal
This one was hard to find. I've been looking for _ages_!
DeleteVery funny ��
ReplyDeleteIt was! :)
DeleteHow do you rate this film? It is always interesting to see how as a viewer it compares to the critics. Of course you watch so many films, you could be a critic, I think. Hope it was a good Monday.
ReplyDeleteI'm a film watcher but not a critic. I wish I knew enough to offer a critical view -you know, with an eye to film history and acting and directing styles, but I just enjoy watching movies. I enjoyed this one, but I wonder why some of them made the cut of 1,001 films and I've given away the actual book that explained the choices.
DeleteMusicals were the bread and butter of the 30s and 40s movies. I am always glad to see a musical. I'll try to watch this soon,
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it. It's definitely enthusiastic :)
DeleteThe gold diggers of today are the bankers and politicians! Not so funny. Valerie
ReplyDeleteA new gilded age. It's deplorable, to borrow Hillary Clinton's description.
DeleteNow you are talking my language -- movie musicals (and especially the Busby Berkeleys of the 30s.) "Remember My Fogotten Man," "We're in the Money" -- is "Shadow Waltz in that one? It's a stunner.
ReplyDeleteYes! The Shadow Waltz :) Those costumes!

Musicals were often on the afternoon movies growing up and I have seen loads of them. This one sounds familiar for sure. Escapist entertainment during the war. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't remember musicals on tv... Oh, wait! Brigadoon! I loved Brigadoon, and I saw it on tv in the afternoon :)
DeleteThey played them like crazy in Minneapolis--LOL!
DeleteWe got more noir and horror as I recall, but it's been sooo long ago ;)
DeleteI have never been interested in musical.
ReplyDeleteI tend to enjoy them
