TOD:

Blu-ray: THE FIREMEN'S BALL, the last Czech film Milos Forman made before coming to the states. Only got halfway through it last night due to a number of necessary distractions, but it's delightful and this Arrow release is beautiful.

And that's about all, sorry to say. Busy couple of days here.

After lunch break, we have the sitzprobe for Cabin in the Sky.

DR elmore3003 - say "hello" to Forrest. I went to high school with him!

Who is Forrest?

Could he possibly one of the double-p "Gumpps"?

Is Bridge of Spies accurate - at least as movies go?

I remember MR BK and I think DR JANE wrote about it....I shall look forward to what DR DRUXY has to say.

Jane · « **Reply #37 on:** February 05, 2016, 08:50:06 AM »

I believe I only mentioned we were going to watch it. As expected, we enjoyed it very much.

Normally, after watching a film like this I like to compare the movie to the true facts. This time I did not feel the need to do so.

Forrest McClendon. A Tony nominee for The Scottsboro Boys, and he has a role (not sure which one?) in this presentation of Cabin.

Ah, DR Ron. You are always making me guffaw.

A propos DR elmore3003's dream the other night:

That's so awfully wonderful, Singdaw.

Does anyone have no bananas?

Just won second place in an office dip contest. I was thinking the prize would be a little ribbon or certificate. It's a YETI tumbler, candy, Ass-Kickin' Peanuts, an IBC root beer and a Spurs coozie. Cool.

Wow! That's a nice second place prize. Yeti tumblers are pricey.

Good afternoon. Just back from a nice hike through a wash to a waterfall.

Back from a cup of soup and a sandwich and picking up some mail.

Oh, heck! Here's the scene where I first heard this song...one that captured my imagination at a very young age and one which I am delighted to share here right now:

Scenes from Our Gang Follies of 1938

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #56 on:** February 05, 2016, 02:00:05 PM »

Youtube also has that short subject in a colorized version (looks rather sharp, too):

Short Subject in Color

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #57 on:** February 05, 2016, 02:01:17 PM »

"I'm a social climber
"You're in high so-ci-e-ty
"Oh, there's no two ways about it
"You're the one for me!"

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #58 on:** February 05, 2016, 02:02:27 PM »

That particular production of "Our Gang" was, I think, the creative apex of the Hal Roach output in this series. All the songs (save the opera number) were written for this short subject. It was truly Oscar-worthy in many categories, yet not even nominated.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #59 on:** February 05, 2016, 02:08:32 PM »

At any rate, that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it!
