vickisilverwolf Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Thank you for the very kind words. Speaking of musicals . . . Can you name the last Hollywood musical in which all the song and dance numbers were recorded live, without lip-synching? (The film was not a box office hit!)

vickisilverwolf Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Interesting guess. This film was so big a bomb that it appeared in the book "The Fifty Worst Films of All Time." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudskipper Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Peter Bogdanovitch's 1975 musical "At Long Last Love", starring Burt Reynolds and Cybill Shepherd....The film was supposed to be "Bogdanovitch's tribute to the Astaire musicals of the thirties and forties, but in the process, sixteen Cole Porter songs were destroyed"... It was reportedly so bad that Bogdanovitch wrote an open letter printed in newspapers across the country apologizing for the film...and Burt Reynolds once said of this movie: "I think we bombed"...

allaboutlana Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 The film, made in the late 1940s, features two actors who both started out in silent films and an Oscar-winning actress, and the film is directed by a director who had already won 2 Oscars, including one for writing, Name the people involved and the film. Any guesses? Edited by: allaboutlana on Nov 15, 2012 4:57 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
