What do you notice about the interaction between the characters in these two scenes? Please give specific examples. What I noticed was the I like you but I am a smart girl who know how men operate in many of the musicals. They found they like each other but knew that they had relationships with other that they could not get so close to find out their true feelings. When he was singing in the canoe she was drawn to him but new he was probably giving her a line so she would fall for him. Marie called him out, letting him know that she was not going to fall for it. In the saloon she was embarrassed by her actions but he was trying to support her by telling her it okay you just aren't that kind of girl.
f you have seen either or both of these actors in other films or television shows, please share your perceptions about them. I have seen them in other movies and I loved to listen to the voices. I like they comedic timing and how they interact with one another to make even simple jesters funny.
What do these clips tell you about the male/female relationships as they are depicted in the films during this era? What norms might you expect are supported under the Hollywood Film Code? I think what they tell us about male/female relationships is that they men wait until for women to come to them for the relationship to start. Men always seem to be waiting in the wings setting the stage for the reluctant women to come to them. I think they do not want the good girl in the picture to be the aggressor having the man be their for them until their love story is complete
