Princess of Tap

1930

Natalie played some dirty tricks on Irene Dunne in Never a dull moment.

Frank Lloyd is not a director that many people remember. I've seen the Howards of Virginia, a nice vehicle for Cary Grant; however, I always look forward to seeing Ronald Colman in if I Were King. Lloyd had a substantial career in silent movies and pre-Code films, so since I haven't seen one of those films, I wouldn't be qualified to give an opinion about this work. Really, the significant association I can recall is mutiny on the bounty. Of course, I've seen that film. Is a most impressive work of art. It was a difficult Film to make. As I recall, two men died making this movie. Lloyd certainly was qualified to have won the Oscar for directing this movie. It was a tremendous boost to Clark Gable's career and Charles Laughton was remembered by the public and critics for this role, years before he played Quasimoto. He won the Oscar for the Divine lady and cavalcade. Another Film of note was Maid of Salem, starring Claudette Colbert.

Why is it when people want to criticize they always pick women? Two of the most mundane actors I've ever seen in Hollywood were- - Paul Newman and John Wayne. But I will at least say this for John Wayne - - he had charisma. And Paul Newman makes a good pizza.

Tommy Kirk appeared in the monkey's uncle with Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys.

The Hound of the Baskervilles Richard Greene had first billing Basil Rathbone at second billing Nigel Bruce had fourth billing Thereafter, Rathbone & Bruce had first and second billing respectively in the Sherlock Holmes series.

Somebody gives a date Then you find a movie that was made that year Then name an actor who was in that said movie Now we're looking for a movie that was made in 1946 - -

Ring-a-Ding-Ding and Come Fly with Me

Shutoo - - I want you to do one more thing for me. Close your eyes and imagine you're at Rick's Café Américain in Casablanca. Sam aka Dooley Wilson is getting ready to sing a song. You guessed it-- "It had to be you". Even with as time goes by, they still had to put in-- "It had to be you". What a song! Shutoo--very well done! It's all yours--

Carolyn Jones romanced Elvis in King Creole.

Spring Byington

Thanx, Azure-- This enduring song has always been a favorite of mine. The first time I heard it, Betty Hutton was singing it in a movie. Ginger Rogers also sang it in a movie and Gene Kelly has danced to it in another movie. And of course, Woody Allen, that purveyor of American popular music, had the song sung in one of his most popular movies. When you identify this song, please give the names of the composer(s) and/or lyricist(s), the names of the movies listed above and of course, any others that you might know of. FYI--there are quite a few others.

Philip Dorn let his pride get the best of him when he was married to Hedy Lamarr in Ziegfeld Girl.

The longest day

Le jour se lève aka daybreak

I'm a big fan of classical music - - this is from Tchaikovsky's 5th symphony. Jeanette looks like Russian nobility, so they called it Czaritza-- very very classy and classical! Full disclosure - - Maytime is my favorite Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy musical movie.

Hint-- this is a family drama with musical numbers embedded in the action
