GildaHayworth Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 *sigh* I always did wish we could have put on a production of "sound of music" in my high school theater class... *sniff* Link to post Share on other sites
Cinemascope Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Well, you know, the sing-a-long isn't exactly like a theatrical production. It's more like doing The Rocky Horror Picture Show, but with other movies, in this case Sound of Music. People have a great time and sing and dress up and stuff. Link to post Share on other sites

SueSueApplegate Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Apart from The Sound of Music, I've always felt that there were similarities to Darling Lili, SOB (the movie within a movie sequence), and Victor/VIctoria, not only in the art direction, but also in the lyric style of songs. One of my favorite songs is " Le Jazz Hot " from V/V, and also "Whistling Away the Dark" from Darling Lili. What do you think? Link to post Share on other sites
Cinemascope Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 It's been a while since I watched any of those movies... I'll keep that in mind next time I see any of them... Link to post Share on other sites
johnm001 Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 Well, musically, they're written by the same composer, Henry Mancini. I love all the songs, in both scores. I think Blake films "Whistling Away the Dark", from DL and "Crazy World", from V/V, in the same manner. Don't see S.O.B. (my favorite of Blake's comedies) in either of those two, though. Explain what you mean in more detail, if you can. Thanks. http://media.putfile.com/LeJazz-Hot---Julie-Andrews Link to post Share on other sites

SueSueApplegate Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Little known even more obscure fact: I was a student of the man who wrote a bio of Maxwell Anderson (dramatist of High Tor)! Great photos!!!!! I'm still lovin' mah jazzzzzzz hot! Never knew anything about Julie and der Bingle. Surprise for me! Link to post Share on other sites
johnm001 Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 You didn't give me your opinion of "Someday I'll Find You". Do you know it? A beautiful, simple song, by the great Noel Coward, nor what you mean by the comparison of DL-V/V to S.O.B. http://media.putfile.com/11---Various-Artists---Someday-Ill-Find-You Link to post Share on other sites

SueSueApplegate Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 "Someday.." is so evocative of 20's pieces. Lovely, hopeful, yet peaceful cadences...thanks for the link. I saw Hay Fever with Judy Dench this summer in the UK. DL is much like SOB in the first sequence of the movie within a movie sequence - Julie alone on a stage with props, then in the more updated SOB MWAM scenario, it sort of parallels V/V in the second, more risque and avante garde. Does that make any sense? Link to post Share on other sites
