STEVE HAYES: Tired Old Queen at the Movies - SINGIN' IN THE RAIN

[MinervasGarden]

I love this movie, so thank you for reviewing it. And I appreciate that you almost always give a shout-out in your reviews to the wonderful secondary, often character, actors who are often the unsung heros and heroines in these classics, so thank you for that as well! Every scene partner is important, not just the leads, because the leads couldn't do their thing without them! Just really enjoying your videos. ps--I love that Joan gets miffed at the end!

Dear Steve, What a collection you have behind you as a back set! The posters, the dolls and other stuff! Is that your personal collection? Thank you for your great videos. I love the background on these movies you highlight.

@hecate55

Yes, I'm afraid it's all mine. My ex said to me awhile back; "You know Steve, you live here too!" Ha! Thanks for watching!

I think anyone would be tired after doing everything O'Connor did in 'Make 'em laugh" even if you didn't smoke 4 packs a day!

[STEVEHAYESTOQ]

He's a clever guy!

TOQ's style sure is rubbing off on Johnny

Love, love, love as always, but.......there's even more to the dubbing. Sometimes Jean's voice is Debbie's.....sometimes Debbie's voice is Debbie's.....sometimes Jean's voice is Jean's....sometimes Jean's voice is Betty Royce's.....sometimes Debbie's voice is Betty Royce's.....singing voices, that is. Betty Royce is the one no one seems to mention, but she's definitely there.

Steve: Couldn't agree with you more! I think this is the best movie musical EVER! I have to ask, though: You say you talked about Brick a few episodes back. WHEN????? Gordon-Leavitt is becoming one of my favorie actors. (500) Days of Summer is a great rom-com! Please let me know what you said about Brick; I'd love to hear your take on it. Love ya! Larry P.S. Just started watching The Big Gay Musical! It's just like I always suspected -- you ARE god!!!!!!

[bluetruckredstate]

Love the Hollywood background stories and your enthusiastic comments, as always Steve.

This is the ultimate perfect all-American movie. You - the ultimate perfect movie buff. xoxox, P

A friend recommended I watch your reviews. I'm still catching up. I love them! You point out many of the things I do when chatting with friends, especially those who haven't seen many classics. I'd love to hang out and talk movies with you sometime, but I'm sure all your fans say that. Best wishes and thanks! :-) I love Singin' in the Rain, one of my favs, especially that Moses number....fantastic!

Dude, Love ya! Great stuff! Scott Garver turned me on! Just subscribed! Can hardly wait for the next one!

"Singin' In The Rain" Is Probably My Favorite Musical. I Love It!! Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, & Donald O'Connor Are Amazing In This Movie!! Jean Hagen Is So Funny In This, A Well Deserved Oscar Nomination For Her!! =]

[larkascending66]

It's so great to see you honoring the largely unsung Jean Hagen! Singin' in the Rain is such a joyous film that bears re-watching every couple of years. I am always reminded of Leonard Bernstein's astonished appreciation when he first saw Gene Kelly in the title number--he called it "a reaffirmation of life" and boy, Lenny--ain't it the truth!

Hope you'll toss in some remarks about this year's Oscar show when you post again, Steve.Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm

[jemmytee55]

The perfect musical. The perfect comedy. What more could you ask for? Thanks, Steve...this was perfect.

[tonymarru]

Thanks Steve,,,,I couldn't wait for this week's installment ! Yet again, one of my favorite musicals. Jean Hagen steals every scene. I didn't know that was her singing voice. You always amaze me with your knowledge !! ..Johnny...the beard is awfully sexxy !!!

[miltsar]

Truly one of my favorite movies. It has the funniest line ever. When Rita Marino, playing a famous movie star, exists the limo at the premier the radio hostess announces that she has just married the Count Too Loose Too Long " I spit every time I hear it. And of course, Jean Hagen as lina can not be topped !  Such a wonderful wonderful movie that I never get tired of seeing.

[DRaymore44]

This is one of my favorite movies. I thought Jean Hagen's performance was outstanding. I also like the dance numbers between Gene Kelly and Cyd Charise. The photography for those numbers is unbelievable, and I really like how they were able to lift Cyd Charise's 25 ft white train from her dress way up in the air. It's too bad they do not make movies like this anymore. Great movie recommendation, Steve.

[conrad152]

Another excellent review Steve, full of perceptive insights and wonderful anecdotes, both you and Johnny are absolute stars!

[rextrek]

Dont call me lazy! LOL Beard looks SEXEEEEE! LOve Steve and his reviews! xo

[zepp4]

My favorite part is "Gotta Dance!" -- Cyd Charisse was an incredible vision!

But this is my favorite musical -- Another great review ..

see you in two weeks!!

[bearhedded]

When I was about 5, I saw this on "Boston Movietime", or something, and thought it was documentary footage of the first talking picture. It was disappointing to find out it wasn't!



[tnichlsn]

Thanks Guys, brilliant stuff, as always!

[bbath7]

My favorite movie of all time! Have you thought about doing a Fred Astaire/ Ginger Rogers musical?
