Ah but you can give odds forever

I love these sorts of big dance numbers. They're so exciting! It's pretty incredible to think of all the talent that was just hanging around the studios back then. I mean, there were all of these amazing dancers - and they weren't even the stars!

I'm afraid of nothing, least of all you.

As if I need an excuse to post a photo of Errol and Olivia. I don't.

"One of us? He looks like three of us."

Last week's quote, "When you do something wrong, you must do something right, and I'm doing all right tonight" is from The Merry Widow and it's sung by Maurice Chevalier. The name of the song is, "Girls, Girls, Girls."

Now, for this week's quote: "One of us? He looks like three of us."

When we rode on the merry-go-round, I kissed Louisa.

This is one of my favorite songs from one of my all-time favorite musicals. I love it!! The only difficulty is that it's a little difficult to sing out of context. I mean, I can sing, "I'm singin' in the rain" and people might look at me funny because I'm singing out loud. But if I start singing, "How I love a glass of beer..." they might look at me funny for other reasons. Anyway, here it is:

I can see you boys don't appreciate high art.

One of my favorite Fred scenes ever.

"When you do something wrong, you must do something right, and I'm doing all right tonight!"

Last week's quote: "Not a pretty face, I grant you. But underneath its flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character" was from An American in Paris.

Now, for this week's quote: "When you do something wrong, you must do something right, and I'm doing all right tonight!"

It's been 24 for a long time.

I really did not like Once Upon A Honeymoon. I get mad when I think a movie is going to be a comedy and it turns out to be a drama. I feel cheated. Particularly when there is so much promise. Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers are so great together. The fact that they had chemistry on and off the screen makes their onscreen chemistry all the more exciting. Can you imagine them being paired in a comedy among Ginger's other great comedies like Vivacious Lady and Bachelor Mother? It was the same that Cary was off being amazing in his own comedies like The Awful Truth and Bringing Up Baby. A late 30's comedy with Ginger and Cary would have been fantastic. Ah well. At least I can have this scene. It leaves me in stitches every time.
