[DAILY DOSE OF DELIGHT #1 (From The Great Ziegfeld)]

1.    Do you agree that the clip exhibits a brighter perspective of life than might be realistic? Why or why not? 

    Yes, there is a brighter perspective of life here.  It seems to use the song to show the struggle between the men (business) and between the three of them (romantic), but the viewer is left with a positive feeling rather than a more stressful feeling.

Hello, Dolly; Singing in the Rain; Victor/Victoria - and the list could go on.  I think these, and a few others like them, capture my attention with the dialogue as well as wonderful music/lyrics/color.  You have to pay attention to all parts of the film, not just the "singing parts".  

Also like to watch 1776 on the 4th of July (as another member mentioned), and Meet Me in St Louis always provides a new moment to say "I don't remember that from last time!" or "Run, Tootie, run!". ?
