Amazon (and no doubt others) still have the VCI edition, but, after keeping us on the edge of our seats for months, the Serial Squadron is finally taking pre-orders for its far superior release (check out the 7-minute preview just posted on their YouTube channel). A March 2012 release (that's n...

Does anyone else think this wonderful parody was particularly inspired by the wonderful stylings of Ray Noble's 1930s orchestra with Al Bowly on vocals?

@JolleyRick I think maybe you have Natalie (lead vocals) and Emily (dobro) mixed up, but otherwise I agree 100%! Usually I much prefer the original Chicks (with Robin Lynn Macy and Laura Lynch), but this is SENSATIONAL!

Thanks for posting! Hope you had a great holiday. Thanks for brightening mine with your Martin Best posts!

Thank you, metrisch, you are wonderful!

@spiritual101 (Incidentally, George Rock was a man singing falsetto, not really a kid.)

As if the rest of the movie were not sufficiently crammed with talent, in the last reel or two Cab Calloway comes in and completely steals the show. And then the Nicholas Brothers come in and completely steal the show from him! It just breaks your heart to think how many great movies could have...

Um, isn't it Charlotte Bronte rather than Edmund Spenser who wrote "Villette"?

@CrimsonEmpire, Paul Brady is playing a guitar, isn't he? Donal Lunny, as usual for him, is playing a bouzouki.

My favorite Highway 101 song, not least because of the delightful video and the great great Roger Miller. Thanks for posting!

The Amazons of ancient legend belonged to the Old World (Ukraine, Libya, and Turkey are some of the present-day nations whose territories they were once thought to roam). Centuries later, when Europeans first sailed the coast of South America, they thought they saw women warriors guarding the ba...

You know, folks, she is supposed to be wearing a JAGUAR skin! And while the jaguar in "Bringing Up Baby" IS referred to as a "South American leopard," the way this great cat is usually referenced informally in Latin America itself is as "el TIGRE!"

Not to take anything away from the great job Clayton Moore certainly does here, but it's really not that hard to spot the many key shots where he is being doubled by a more curly-headed stunt man. That would be the sensational, legendary Dave Sharpe, who deserves the lion's share of the credit ...

The line from the trailer comes at 4:00 to 4:11.

This is fabulous! Brilliant execution of an inspired notion.

I've been hoping for another chance to see this video for over 25 years! Great Rogers and Hart song, great Nelson Riddle arrangement, great Ronstadt vocal--is there another version this terrific? And making the video reminiscent of Tex Avery's fairy-tales-for-adults cartoons was inspired. I'd ...

I started to say before, "Great sound! Nice job boosting the volume." Then I came upon some of the places where the volume boost results in painfully noticeable distortion. A worthwhile effort, though; thanks for posting.

I see from the CD liner notes that Billy May is credited with one of the orchestrations, so I'll bet he deserves some of the credit here. No one had more expertise at recreating original Big Band arrangements (see Time Life's "Swing Era" collection), and few could match his swing arrangements fo...
