Eddie Cantor- A Girlfriend of A Boyfriend of Mine

[errolfan]

This kind of one-on-one prolonged romantic, half-serious number was not exactly Eddie Cantor's forte. It looks like he's singing from a teleprompter. I can't imagine him having a cellmate's girlfriend. No wonder that he makes a face at the end. He's glad it's done.

part of what makes it such a touching moment in the film is that Eddie's malady is a common issue. the repeated notes in the song don't matter. the two of them easily make up for it. the expression is such that it seems Eddie's truly experienced the ordeal.

I love Eddie! Have ever since I was a little girl! This is such a cute movie!

these early Technicolor pieces are just eye candy.....imagine if they actually "restored" them in the same way Oz was just restored -bet the detail would be really impressive......unfortunately, probably not enough interest to spend the millions to do it....

I don't know if it would be the same. When these early films were made, it was using a different process (process 3) than when they made the Wizard of Oz (process 4). I tried reading about the process and got mostly confused, but I know it involves red and green filters on black and white film and gelatin and I get lost. Who knows?

To make a Technicolor print, the three gel prints are soaked in dye of a complementary color, then pressed one at a time in contact with a blank film strip. It works sort of like silk screening, where you run different screens with different colors over the same piece of cloth until the fill color image is imprinted. The older TC Process 3 only used two colors, red and turquoise green, so it could not reproduce full color. That is why you see so much red and green scenery in P3 films.

"Process 4" is the stunning, brilliant full color Technicolor process that we know from great films like "Wizard". The P4 camera used three strips of B&W film, one with a red, green, and blue filter. The red, green, and blue-filtered films were developed, then soaked in a chemical bath with a gel substance that stuck to the dark areas of the film. The result was a filmstrip kind of like a rubber stamp, with thicker gel on the darker parts of the film and thinner gel on the lighter areas.

[roybo1930]

They Don`t Make Them Like This Anymore!! He`s So Cute In This It Makes You Kind Of Sad To Watch. You Can`t Help Loveing The Little Guy!

[EmilyUpjohn]

Damn, could the man be any more charming? What a great talent.

And Eleanor Hunt (Sally) is lovely in this scene -- she conveys a lot without one word.

I just saw this movie yesterday. It is just wonderful and very funny most of the time (the half-indian kinda ruined it for me). All in all, a must see.

It's true, sometimes the stuff is a bit hard to take...

[aldiboronti]

Wow! Eddie Cantor was just amazing. His voice, face and gestures are so wonderfully expressive.

[HartfordTommy]

Where did you get this film? It's a very good example of two-strip Technicolor.
