feel good

Any musical comedy from the classic period. Which brings up a turbulent question, WHAT IS THE CLASSIC ERA? I see films that were released in the 90s liisted here. That goes beyond overlapping. I've noticed too occasiional mention of contemporary actors, Should there be limits? I 'd b e sorry to see ...

I was glad to see that you enjoyed the Valentino / Swanson film. I was curious because of the stars but just couldn't stay awake. I recall how popular he was but don't remrmber her from that time. Too young, I guess. I hope you get to see more of Rudy. .... mel

Yes, THE WORDS ARE IN MY HEART is the one with the pianos.
In the Warners / Bb movies they played the tunes over and over 'till they became insidious and produced a euphoric feeling. BY A WATERFALL is a good example . Oh, bring back those days.. .mel

Busby Berkley

I'll pick THE WORDS ARE IN MY HEART from THE GOLDDIGGERS OF 1935. Not for the choreography ( design? ) but for the music. I'm partial to good waltzes and this one puts me on a higher plane Take a bow, Harry Warren. Other favorite BB numbers are BY A WATERFALL and THE SHADOW WALTZ. I liked the way he...

Fiirst one comes to mind is titled either THE BOYFRIEND or TTHE GIRLFRIEND. It came out in the 60s and starred Twiggy ( Leslie Hornby? ) I walked out of the theater less than halfway through the film. I sat through GENTLEMEN'S AGREEMENT and found it the most boring film. It got the award. I never th...
