But I've seen GHOST STORY, which was Astaire's last film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBeacon Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Frankie Avalon for "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" = "Dive! Dive!! Dive!!!" Although he does sing the theme song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopBilled Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 Doris Day in "STORM WARNING" (1951) Love this film. I think the casting of Rogers and Day as sisters is truly inspired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Kelly also has a non-singing role in INHERIT THE WIND. Enjoy Alice Faye in anything she does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonesomePolecat Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Dick Powell in many films like MURDER MY SWEET Dean Martin in RIO BRAVO & TOYS IN THE ATTIC Pat Boone in JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH & GOODBYE CHARLIE I know Bing sings a bit in THE COUNTRY GIRL but that is a mostly non singing, very dramatic role 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopBilled Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Here Comes Mr. Jordan -Robert Montgomery dies then comes back to life Between Two Worlds - where not everyone will end up in the same place in the afterlife and - is it really the afterlife? The MR. JORDAN film is a great example. The pseudo-sequel, DOWN TO EARTH, is one I haven't seen lately so I can't remember if there are any fantasy sequences in it.

TopBilled Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Berkeley Square (1933) - Leslie Howard & Heather Angel Ooh yeah, good one...haven't watched it in awhile. It was remade in the early 50s with Tyrone Power & Ann Blyth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregoryPeckfan Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Re: Heaven Can Wait - this is a good example of how a similar title about the same kind of idea (Heaven or Hell and life and death) can get people confused and think they are going to be watching a remake of a movie that really is not a remake. The Warren Beatty movie Heaven Can Wait is a remake of Here Comes Mr. Jordan, not the Don Ameche movie. Beatty changed the sport from boxing to football because he had played football. W.B. took Montgomery's role. James Mason took over the title role from Claude Rains. Both films are enjoyable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LonesomePolecat Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Both AN AMERICAN IN PARIS and SINGIN' IN THE RAIN have extended 15 minute (give or take) fantasy sequences in the form of awesome Gene Kelly ballets Another musical with fantasy sequences is LILI in which both "dance" numbers are fantasy sequences--Lili dancing with the puppets and Lili competing for the magician's attention are both in the context of daydreaming The Jimmy Durante movie HOLLYWOOD PARTY is a crazy movie that turns out to be a dream Rather like OZ, ALICE IN WONDERLAND (any version) is 95% fantasy sequence MARY POPPINS contains the extended fantasy sequence (group hallucination?) in which Mary and the kids jump into one of Bert's chalk paintings and sing "Jolly Holiday" with cartoons Technically pretty much all of THE PRINCESS BRIDE is a fantasy sequence, since it's all in the context of Peter Falk reading a book to his grandson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
