The sheep scene that you remember is a quick visual gag in O Lucky Man.

All I recall from O Lucky Man, other than the song, is Malcolm McDowell being nursed by an accommodating wench. I'm not sure that was worth the whole three hours.

Is this where our zapppop got his name?

I'm in.

It will be the 1941 musical-comedy Hellzapoppin'. Mostly famous today for its incredible swing dance number, it's also notable for being an early deconstructionist film. Fascinating and funny, too!

Regarding the incredible swing number in Hellzapoppin', the male dancer who does his solo bit about two minutes into it who's wearing mechanics overalls is Frankie Manning. Frankie and the other dancers you see in the film created this dance back in Harlem at the Savoy Ballroom. He's now 93 years old and still travels all over the world to teach at swing camps and other events. He comes to Pasadena twice a year, just this past November he led us all in the Shim Sham. He's amazing.

There's also a possibility that's we'll be having a late-night screening of Lindsay Anderson's if... . I plan to show O Lucky Man! in the near future, so I want to give everyone the opportunity to see the first movie in the Mick Travis trilogy (though you don't really need to to appreciate OLM).

I love O Lucky Man!. I can't remember how many times I've watched it. I even saw Alan Price in concert. Whatever happened to him?

I saw O Lucky Man at an art house in Santa Fe, NM decades ago. (The long-gone City Lights Cinema - I worked there for a while after high school.) I wasn't old enough to get the movie, but I did fall in love with Helen Mirren on sight.

I loved Hellzapoppin! Thank you to mousepod and his lovely lady.
I want to get a copy of it when it gets released.
Funny sh!t. Love slapstick comedy.
:)

For those of you who need advance notice (you know who you are):

The next movie night at our place will take place on Saturday, Feb 9.

We'll be watching two creepy films (one full-length, one short) and the usual assortment of other stuff...

OMG, mousepod. I'll never get to a screening again. (Feb. 9 is right out for me).

BTW, I'm so sorry I posted earlier that "I'm In" for whatever movie turned out to be playing on Hellzappopin' night. I didn't realize I had made previous plans, and I also forgot that - - while I texted Gemini Cricket - - I never contacted you about not making it.

Heheh, I hope you didn't wait around too long for me. Good thing G.C. wondered aloud what y'all were waiting for. Oooops, sorry.

(But I love the story about him brining up Juno to your other "Steve" guest.)
