The movie has always been a fave of mine (as is the band). I think they captured their anarchic thumbing their nose at the establishment, their very British humor, and they're very natural and relaxed in this film (as opposed to Help where they were bored and stoned during the entire filming). As was mentioned in the lecture, the film contains their best early songs.

I don't have a DVR so I'm sad that there were a lot of films I hadn't seen before and couldn't watch because they were on when I was at work or outlandish hours on the East coast. I have On Demand, but they're hardly showing any of the musicals (whose doing is that, BTW - TCM or my cable system?) I did very much enjoy Broadway Melody of 1929. Even though I've seen them all, I'd hoped there would have been some Rodgers and Hammerstein films on.

I think he meant that she was no longer like the girl in the Andy Hardy movies. Even though she was technically a "teenager" in Meet Me in St. Louis, she was still viewed as a woman who was ready to be married- or at least engaged. Besides - they always had adults playing teenagers - and in high school - in movies

Sweet Charity - Typical anti-romantic 60's musical. Story and music didn't pull me in at all. Nine - Musical based on Fellini movie with Daniel Day Lewis, who I love, but not in this Finian's Rainbow - I keep trying to watch it, because I feel like I should like it, but I don't. Royal Wedding - Unfortunate Fred Astaire collaboration with Winston Churchill's daughter. Gigi - Ugh! I literally hate it. The story line of grooming a young girl to be a prostitute - with creepy, smarmy Maurice Chevalier "Thank Heaven for Little Girls"!
