A Song Is Born (1948, Unrated)
Finally coming out on DVD in April 2009. Enjoyable film with Danny Kaye and Virginia Mayo, including a large cast of musical talents such as Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong, and Tommy Dorsey. Kaye plays a dorky musicologist who meets Mayo's tough gangster's moll; mayhem ensues as Kaye becomes smitten with Mayo who is hiding out from dangerous types - at the same time he discovers the "new music" of jazz, which is played throughout by the jazz greats of their time. A remake of "Ball of Fire", which I haven't seen. This is great for jazz fans, Danny Kaye fans, and old movie fans in general. |

It's Always Fair Weather (1955, Unrated)
Worth seeing if you are a fan of old musicals. Gene Kelly is good and Cyd Charisse is great. There are some good dance numbers, and Cyd plays an incredibly brainy career woman (unique for a 50s movie). The movie is a little downbeat, really, being about a trio of guys who are disillusioned about each other after the war and are exploited by TV producers. Not depressing, though, just a little different from some other musicals. |
