Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[Strangler Lewis]

I like the Broadway Melody sequence even though it really sticks out like a sore thumb in the movie. However, I will commit heresy by saying that Cyd Charisse was too big for him, was too facially wooden even within the context of her character's impassivity, and moved like a truck.

Girl Hunt Ballet in The Bandwagon (which is my favorite MGM musical, for the record) Much sillier numbers, but it's Fred Astaire, always wins my heart.

But I do love both Kelly and Astaire, greeeeeeeeeat dancers (and Gene Kelly had a really nice tush, too)
