The Rocketeer - Jennifer Connelly & Timothy Dalton - Jenny & Sinclair Dance

[sweetprism00]

Jennifer Connelly is beautiful, but I honestly think she got better with age--both talent wise and in terms of looks. Younger doesn't always equal more beautiful--I mean, look at Kate Winslet.

[conax133]

Jennifer Connely has lost too much weight, I think.

She was buxom and feminine as hell in this movie.. Beeyooty.

[LadyQGinny]

Wow! She's always been stunning, since Labyrinth ;) I love her! Now I wanna see this movie only because of Jennifer ;)

[nocknights]

That was Jennifer Connelly perfectly filling out that white dress?

[scottwmahoney]

The song here is "In A Sentimental Mood"... I assume an arrangement by Cole Porter, since he did the other songs. Could also be arranged by Billy May. Does anyone know where I could find this version of this song. It must exist since it was in this movie. Surprised it was not included in the soundtrack.

[jradetzky]

Jennifer is absolutely stunning

[Frog8755]

Jennifer Connelly is absolutely gorgeous in this movie. Timothy Dalton has a good seductive voice. If I was him, I'd seduced Jenny to let me cuddle her from head to toe, hug, and kiss her. I'd let her know how much I want her and that I live for her beauty and how she's dressed. So what if he's the villian and she's the hero's girl. The thing that matters is she's beautiful.

[m2diggs]

Jen looks amazing in this flick.

[margosacco]

This is one of the most romantic scenes in cinema history. Unfortunately, it is too short. Dalton and Connelly are such a beautiful couple and the music is terrific. I love the set too.

[misslv80]

Agreed! :-)

[ysbaddaden2003]

This and the Beautician and the Beast convinced me Dalton could play a great Count Dracula.

But now all they make are these wussy vampire flicks for chicks, oh sure he drinks blood, but he feels bad about it...

Yeah right...

[margosacco]

This is a great love scene. Too bad it was cut too soon. Dalton is an absolutely great actor and Jennifer Connolly is so beautiful. Dalton was cheated out of an Academy Award for playing Neville Sinclair. There is no doubt that Neville is one of the greatest villians in cinema history.

[misslv80]

Totally agree. Neville was so sexy despite the evil seething underneath.

[margosacco]

Amen, I think that this scene from the Rocketeer was one of the great love scenes in films. I am totally shocked that Timothy Dalton works so infrequently and has never been in a lot of romantic films. Whenever I see a romantic film my response is always Timothy Dalton could have done it better. He is such a great actor and tremendously overated. He should have Academy Awards and Emmys on his fireplace mantel.

Continuity mistake: When they first walk out onto the dance floor, there are no band members. at 1:04 you can clearly see bandstand is full.

[misslv80]

I'm not sure if that's necessarily a continuity mistake because they show Sinclair and Jenny dancing, then they cut to Cliff landing, then it cuts to Sinclair and Jenny again, with the full bandstand. It's assumed that the band members have already assembled unseen during Cliff's landing and a little time has elasped. That's my take on it.

I'm sure they did it for time reasons. They could have shown the band members taking their seats the second time during Sinclair and Jenny's dance.

[misslv80]

I actually found another continuity mistake. At 0:24 Jenny is drinking her champagne and she has not put down her glass completely. The next shot of her at 0:28 when she says, "There's no music," the glass is out of sight.

I've seen this scene so many times and that's the first time I've noticed it LOL. :-)

[FantasmaLuna]

He certainly is charming. I love his voice!

[mayafate2]

can anyone tell me what is that song at 1:23 I so want it!! so romantic!

[misslv80]

"In a Sentimental Mood". It was originally composed by Duke Ellington, but has been covered by many different artists over the years.

[elmando5]

Even though Dalton is old enough to be Connelly's father, they still make a very sexy couple.

[misslv80]

Indeed. He looked really hot back then, and still does now. ;-)

[ChristopherFolan]

My favorite movie from my childhood. My favorite James Bond actor. My favorite 90's actress.

[misslv80]

Imagine Connelly as a Bond girl? WOW!

[ChristopherFolan]

Imagine Dalton instead of Brosnan.  WOW! :)

[misslv80]

Actually, I prefer Daniel Craig, but that's another story. LOL

But...if I had to choose, it would Dalton over Brosnan any day. ;-)

[Annacathalicia]

Me too, Timothy Dalton was excellent as Bond; I do not like Brosnan's Bond. Daniel Craig is OK, but not handsome.LOL

[margosacco]

This is a terrific movie. Timothy Dalton should have gotten an Academy Award for playing Neville Sinclair, the "sweet tooth that bites". The flick was so campy. If the movie going public had any test this movie would have been a box office hit. Jennifer had a great body then. Now she looks like death--she is so thin.

[trwent]

I just wish that Jennifer had not gotten the breast reduction surgery. She was really much hotter looking when she had those nice puppies as she did in here in "The Rocketeer".

In "A Beautiful Mind" she looks almost like a totally different person--still pretty but not nearly as hot.

[misslv80]

LOL!

I think she really did look her best in the early 90s. I think she is too thin nowadays, but that's just me.

Recently I saw her on a magazine cover, I forget which one, but she looked so plastic and airbrushed! It was horrible. She still is a lovely-looking lady, but that's how those magazines are. They airbrush the hell out of everything. :-(

[powermugu]

Thank you very much. Beautiful video of a gorgeous and talented woman :-)

[cheekygirl8]

Dip me Timothy please! Thanks for posting and I agree Misslv- Timothy is sooooo HOT! :)

[misslv80]

OMG wasn't that the best part of that scene? Soooo frickin' HOT!!! ;-)

[cheekygirl8]

YEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!! LOL!

[tireabouchon]

Jennifer is still gorgeous and ane of the most beautiful women in the world...Anyway in her early 20s she was the most gorgeous girl i have ever seen...Wonderful!!

[Zidel333]

Forget Connelly, Timothy Dalton is far more hot. 'course I'm a girl, so this is understandable.

[misslv80]

I agree! He was evil, but there was something about him - very seductive. I hate to admit this, but he was a lot more interesting than the hero, Cliff.

[solidkingcobra]

that's mad game right there.

Yes Jennifer Connelly was smoking hot. She aged gracefully, like a fine wine.

[lalliben]

Jennifer Connelly was smoking hot back then.

She is still gorgeous though.
