Movie Song of the Week: "Who's Your Little Who-Zis?"

For the Self-Styled Siren, a brief musical number from the most elusive of Busby Berkeley movies, the 1932 film Night World. I can't wait to see this film make it to DVD.

Trailer of the Week: Remember the Night (1940)

For Campaspe, the charming woman who first introduced me to this flick.

Movie Song of the Week: “Drum Boogie”

From the 1941 comedy Ball of Fire, it's legendary drummer Gene Krupa and a dubbed Barbara Stanwyck collaborating on a number which was so good they had to play it nice. A thankful tip of the sombrero to the Self-Styled Siren for reminding me about this number.

Trailer of the Week: The Birds (1963)

For Campaspe aka the Self-Styled Siren.

Movie Song of the Week: “Stereophonic Sound”

Just in time for the start of the summer movie season (and no, I don't know why it's starting in May when May isn't traditionally considered part of summer), a reminder from Fred Astaire and Janis Paige that ridicule of the public's taste in movies didn't exactly begin with the CGI era. (At least these two have a sense of humor about it.)

I know Self-Styled Siren's been singing the praises of yet another number from this same movie (1957's Silk Stockings), but I can't resist giving a shout-out to this number just in case she forgets to mention it in a future post.

Enjoy:

42nd Street Redux

Major props to the Self-Styled Siren for acknowledging me in this post. It doesn't hurt that she also describes more than a few of my favorite scenes in 42nd Street. As much as I liked Ruby Keeler, I cannot pretend that it was a major injustice that Ginger Rogers went on to have a more successful career than her.

At Long Last Links

I finally broke down and added some links to my home page. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to do it; I still have a lot to learn about the blogging process and one might argue that this entire blog is still at best an experiment.

But the links I've added thus far seem to be working okay. I'm just sorry I haven't yet found a way to link to my nephew's blog.

If anyone on the sites to which I have linked objects to have a link to their site posted on this site, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll assume you approve or at least feel neutral about the whole matter.

Anyway, major thanks to Lynn Lee, MaryAnn Johanson and the way cool if a bit mysterious Campaspe for giving me hours of pleasure with the writing on their respective sites.

I will probably add more links in the future. If you're interested, please stay tuned for further developments.

I'm Famous!

On this site, at least.

Muchas gracias to Ms. Campaspe for the recognition.
