Yes, mrsl., I enjoyed Molly Brown, too, and one reason was Debbie's energy
-
Interesting background info. Thanks, johnm.
I thought that was a great scene.

I am not an industry insider, or don't recognize the reference.
Who is Grover Dale?
-
True!
-
Well, since this is the dance thread, I guess we are both way off topic.
My favorite dance sequences in a musical are in Singing in the Rain,
Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, White Christmas, The Unsinkable
Molly Brown, Top Hat, and the Gay DIvorcee. I also enjoyed
some of Busby Berkeley's numbers, "Kids" from Bye, Bye, Birdie,
everything Cyd Charisse ever did, and Hello, Dolly, (Tommy Tune was great, too.)
-
I, too, feel that Agnes Moorehead was underrated. I must admit that my first
moments with her onscreen were as her performances as Endora on Bewitched,
but as I began to enjoy more films, I discovered she could be a real piece of work
like in Dark Passage.
Anyone who has ever seen her in that role I hope would agree.
Plus, I also adored her goofy Countess role in The Opposite Sex.
She was part of the Mercury Theater bunch, and many great performers
were involved with it.
-
I, too, enjoy the Western Channel...
-
Glenn Ford was great in Pocketful of Miracles. I think it is one of his best!
I would say that as a remake, it was infinitely better than the Warren/Annette
attempt at An Affair to Remember with Cary and Deborah (which was a pretty
fair remake in itself.)
This is a thread about Favorite Dance Numbers. You are ranting on the wrong thread.
To rant, go to the rant thread. To rant and speculate about relationships,
create a new thread or rant on the old one. Thanks.

Good news, indeed!
I have to reiterate how much I loved Paul Douglas!
-
Now, johnm. One of my part-time incarnations allows me to review movies and books
for my local paper on occasion, but I do try to be positive.
-
Yes, mrsl. she was good with the grumpy old men. I also thought she was sweet as the ingenue role in Pocketful of Miracles in her scenes with Bette Davis and others.
I usually read reviews after I venture out to view a movie or stage vehicle.
Currently, I find that movie, theater, and book reviewers give away too much
of the plot, and it spoils my enjoyment, so I rely on word-of-mouth
yays or nays, if anything.
Lynde was a hoot and a charmer!
Right now I'm enjoying the Celtic Woman during PBS's St. Paddy's theme.

I do enjoy reading Bosley Crothers, but try not to let others dictate
how I feel or react to something. I did enjoy BBB because it was so
lively, and mirrored some of the things I saw my cousins do because
they were Elvis FANatics, but I had trouble buying into their mania
about the Memphis man. I do, however, agree with Crowthers' opinion of
the "Kids" number. It was lively and energetic, and I enjoyed the
choreographed numbers.
BBB was fun and energetic, but I haven't revisited it in awhile.
I did think that one reason it was so fun was that
Paul Lynde made it more so. I met him once, and , for me, he was as funny
and clever as he was onscreen and in BBB. I asked him
for his autograph, and he said, "Oh, just come here!" and chatted
about his experiences in the city I where I was living at the time.
-
I also had the exact same question.
-
Thanks for the info, twister and mikek.
-
Aye! May the blush o' the rose fill your earthly garden!
Happy St. Paddy's, one and all!
-
I was wondering what put the bee in your beret, Ms. Finnie!
Whatever the reason, I'm glad you crystallized your ideas for
us!
-
I'll have to revisit BBB to investigate her contributions, there. Thanks, johnm.
-
Thank you for the explanation , johnm.
I start gittin' reel flustrated about the third time I has to ask fer the
same thing.
Shucks, yawl.
-
Huh?
-
I thought there was only one version of the movie Oklahoma -
the one with Shirley Jones and Gordon McRae. I haven't seen any other
version.
-
Seven Brides For Seven Brothers had unbelievably realistic movements
and unusual dance topics. I am always amazed at the dancing in
that movie. Michael Kidd's greatest IMHO.
Hermes Pan was also one of my favorites because he did Flower Drum Song, Kiss Me Kate, and....Darling Lili!
I also like Cole's Kismet and Les Girls.
-
I enjoyed Oklahoma, too.
I thought Gloria Grahame was excellent in her secondary role, and it made me
wish she had done more comedies.
-
I think Judy was allowed to have a role in Summer Stock that showed true
strength of character. In some ways, it was Dorothy all grown up.
