sagebrush Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Happy Birthday to my favorite screen guy, Fred Astaire, born May 10th, 1899! One of my very favorite dance scenes (apart from the Asian makeup, of course) from the catalog of his films is the "Limehouse Blues" number from ZIEGFIELD FOLLIES, with lovely Lucille Bremer. Not a very good print; WB has removed all the good ones from YouTube.😞 Link to post Share on other sites

LuckyDan Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 Not really a favorite, but this scene from John Cassavetes' directorial debut, Shadows (1959), illustrates with some irony my own feelings about his movies. If I understand his approach, he sought to capture on film those ethereal moments that happen in live theater where everything comes together and a certain magic can be sensed. He didn't mind shooting miles of footage then spending days or weeks or months looking for those moments in film. I tend to prefer movies where they knew what they were trying to do before the film rolled. Improv and film just don't seem compatible to me, but Cassavetes' certainly has his admirers. And his moments. The full movie is available in YT and it is a good looking piece of film, with lots of late 50s NYC locales. Link to post Share on other sites

LuckyDan Posted Tuesday at 08:31 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 08:31 PM Shane has a couple of wince-inducing scenes that are necessary to set up the payoff. This is one of them. Although, Tory does get in a nice little piece of trash talk before the lights go out. Link to post Share on other sites

Mitchum has a great voice so in my version they sing a duet and when Bob gets really into it and is distracted,,,,, she pops him! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
