HIS GIRL FRIDAY
One of Cary Grant's best, in my opinion. Buster Keaton silent comedy-adventure, with musical accompaniment. Leo Gorcey as Muggs McGinnis, in the second of the Bowery Boys/Eastside Kids/Deadend Kids series that lasted from the late 30s into the 50s. An interesting Frank Capra project from the early 40s,
with Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck and Walter Brennan. Capra couldn't decide on the ending, and there were three different versions.

REET, PETITE AND GONE
High energy jump blues from Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five THE ROAD TO BALI
Typical Hope and Crosby song and dance routines, general goofiness
MY MAN GODFREY
GREAT example of late 30s screwball comedy, with a little social commentary thrown in. Bill Powell, Carole Lombard.
ROYAL WEDDING
Fred Astaire and Jane Powell in technicolor. The famous dancing on the ceiling sequence is in this one.

LOVE LAUGHS AT ANDY HARDY
Mickey Rooney and Lewis Stone revisit their familiar roles in this postwar continuation of the popular series.
SWING HIGH, SWING LOW
Late 30s musical comedy with Fred MacMurray and Carole Lombard; music by Leo Robin and Ralph Rainger
RHYTHM AND BLUES REVUE
Not to be confused with Brian Lee's radio show of the same name, this is a mid 50s variety show from Harlem's Apollo Theatre, featuring top pop, jazz, R&B, comedy and dance acts, including Cab Calloway, Count Basie, and others. THE STRANGE LOVE OF MARTHA IVERS
More Barbara Stanwyck, this time in a noirish melodrama from 1946. Lewis Milestone directs, and Kirk Douglas makes his debut in a leading role.. |
