LADY BE GOOD

I've seen this one before starring Robert Young and Ann Sothern, with Eleanor Powell, John Carroll, Red Skelton, Lionel Barrymore, Virginia O'Brien, and Dan Dailey. It's about a divorce court decision with Lionel as the judge, and concerning Young and Sothern. Since their friends know they're not happy with the divorce, they work up different schemes to get the couple together again. Red Skelton, and Dan Dailey are two of the friends but they don't really add to the things getting wacky. Eleanor Powell does some hot tap dancing in this, but I hope she eventually changed her routines, because they all look very similar to me. In all, it's a cute movie to waste an hour and a half on. But what I really liked is at the end, they're all walking with arms linked and one starts singing Lady Be Good, then one-by-one the other 5 join in with the singing. To me this was one of the most natural looking musical endings to a musical movie I ever saw. I don't know about you, but more than once, I have been walking with friends and/or family, and one breaks out in song, and the rest join in. We did it in Las Vegas to Singing in the Rain, here in Chicago walking to the car after a 4th of July fireworks singing Yankee Doodle Dandy and just last week, again walking to the car after shopping, we all sang The Gang's all Here, me and my three girls. I always say my family is weird.
