You can like old music better than the modern music, you have all the right too, but saying that music today is stupid and all about sex and girls, it makes you a fool (or fools, you that agreed with the comment). There is good music and artists, today and yesterday. Mentalities changes as so tastes too. And I'm sorry to say but there are also a lot of old songs that talk about the same sex and girls, the message was just delivered differently. The video here is it or not about girls?
@auana3 I agree with you. There are differences between old music and new music; well, I prefer old as it's quite obvious that you've a great lot more risk to be accused for plagiarism today than in eg. the 50's. That's because lots of rythms and riffs are used. But new music can also be original. And the texts are just as great.
@auana3 Yes, But the girls here are at least presented at bit more modestly. Also, he sings, "And she also is smart." Not too much of that at least on the radio nowadays. It's still there, though. you just have to look harder.
I've seen this movie many times but it just occurred to me today that this sequence makes no sense!
In the scenes just after it they're struggling to master adding sound to the Dueling Cavalier (including hiding giant microphones in various hilarious ways), yet this sequence (from another movie being produced, apparently) is clearly meant to be with sound and they say "this'll start a new trend in musical pictures!"
I have no idea what's up with me, but I am in absolute love with both those jackets. Maybe a little updating-faux fur, diff. fabric-but the base of it is totally awesome!
u must read this. once you have started there is no turning back. a little 10 year old girl was raped and murdered in 1945. her body was not found until 1947. then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste this message. the dead girl appeared in his room haunting him and killed him. if you do not copy and paste this onto 10 videos in 30 minutes the dead girl will appear in your room tonight and haunting you and kill you. well you better start to copy and paste to be saved
@dagmann1 I think the song means "smart" as in "a smart dresser," not as a synonym for "intelligent." The rest of the song is purposefully ridiculous--trimmed with monkey fur!--and nowhere else is the importance of intelligence in women mentioned, so I think they're purposefully joking around with the word "smart."
Is it just me, or does the woman in tweed with the pearls look like she could take the place of one of the guys in Some Like It Hot? Look, she even has her suitcases all ready for the bus haha
oh god I can't stand Annie get your gun. That first song almost made me snap the dvd in half. I a so glad that Judy got sick and got out of doing that atrociuos film. the only good thing it gave us was "anything you can do"
@ozzy31497 exactly. At lease it doesn't have a lot of exploit. Like, Katy Perry's music video, California girls...I just don't get that video. It's ridiculous and disturbing. Well in my point of view & perspective, I'd rather and preferably stick to old music. Thank God for Gene Kelly and Judy Garland. No hard feelings for those ppl who are a modern music lover. It was just an opinion.
Notice at 22 secs a very young Rita Moreno (referred to a Zelda). Originally there was a sub plot about her character that was cut from the final print of the movie.

This is a poor version of the original in "Stage Mother" 1933 where MGM number sung better by unknown singer and dubbed dancing with Maureen O'Sullavan
They asked Al Pacino what his favorite movie was, he picked this one. In an interview with Woody Allen, the interviewer asked him about his body of work, and he said "They can't all be Singin' In The Rain".
This guy is in the film for just this scene, does zero acting, and sings a pretty goofy song, and yet he left an indelible impression on me just because his voice is so damn good. I mean the end of this song is just ridiculous.
The voice, is "passable," but not really great. People are so starved today for good entertainment that it seems standards may have been relaxed somewhat. But it's not the public's fault so much, but the industry's failure to maintain those standards.
The vocalist was indeed Gene Kelly's protege at the studio, Jimmy Thompson. Unfortunately, he was never able to carve out a career for himself...the idea of this number was to satirize how early "talkie" production numbers usually turned into a "fashion show" (and some of them were more exaggerated than this). The song is still great!
Yes, and did anyone notice the rather "fay" tone to his delivery? Rather in keeping with certain "males" in the fashion industry, if you catch my drift. Again part of the parody.
YT has the original 1933 version of the song Beautiful Girl from the film "Stage Mother." Music is nearly identical tho the choreography is completely different.
The original is a masterpiece of black/white cinematography.
