Oh, yeah--my favorite is in "DuBarry Was A Lady" (1943); During Virginia O'Brien's number "Salome", the band playing is directly behind her: O'Brien was known as "The Diva of Deadpan" because of her (almost) expressionless delivery of lyrics. To me, it's an added bonus of watching the band members fight to keep a straight face while she sings; the ones who thought they were out of camera range don't even try. One lady in the back of the orchestra is grinning all through O'Brien's song. This one is amusing instead of irritating.
For Irritating--Again, during a Virginia O'Brien song "Life Upon the Wicked Stage" in "Till the Clouds Roll By" (1946)--all the chirping extras in yellow & white in her number Hog the camera & make O'Brien a beat late in finishing the song; they all "swoon" & make Sure the camera gets a closeup of them! Edit them out & if footage of the complete song performed by O'Brien exists, Let HER do the song solo!

Hibi-- are at Least four different running times;am not sure which you want, so here are all four on IMDB:
88 minutes-1973
89 minutes--?
99 minutes--extended version--unsure of date of release.
102 minutes--1978 directors cut, made it to Magnum Films (uncertain of name) Videocassette--This is what I found in the 1990's--did not see original release in theatres.

Classic aficionado--Michael Wilding would definitely have been better off and smarter if he had stayed with his current girlfriend (Dorothy Patrick)--but if it had ended logically and sanely, it wouldn't have been a 1950's Joan Crawford film (I can think of two that end logically; "Goodbye, My Fancy" (1951), and "Sudden Fear" (1952), although SF Does rely on coincidence(s)).
Basically, I agree with your analysis; I see Stormy Weather ahead for Michael & Joans' characters (and not just the song!)
Have a good day.

speedracer5--"Frenchman's Creek (1944) is one I've been waiting to see. Good film. Two others:
"The Story of Temple Drake" (1933)--Based on William Faulkner's 1931 novel "Sanctuary", this stars Miriam as a rich, heedless bad girl. This film Really helped the move for a Production Code--a must see for those into Hollywood history--also has one of Miriam Hopkins' finest performances.
Trivia--The film "These Three" (1935) was originally titled & plotted on Broadway the same way as the 1961 "The Children's Hour"--it was heterosexualized for The Code--either way, it's about the power of lies to destroy lives. Good films.
The musicals "The Daughter of Rosie O'Grady" (1950) & "Athena" (1954) are of interest--former because of a Young Debbie Reynolds (She has a Voice, but her dance is still a bit off; the latter because it is a musical about health food--someone eats flowers in this one (Steve Reeves, a few years away from "Hercules" (1959) & countless sequels & ripoffs).
A fun month, looks like.

JeanneCrain--This has to be a TCM rights issue--While "Rich and Famous" (1981) was playing, the tv screen (my provider's Comcast) kept telling me it was playing "Heavenly Creatures" (1994). If it's not a rights issue, problem has to be on TCM's side--Comcast is generally very accurate about their listings (Comcast's problems are for another thread).
