A collection of my favourite classic Black and White Films and Musicals aswell as scenes of the Queen of Tap, Miss Eleanor Powell.
About Me:
 
I am a major fan in Classic Black and White films during the Golden Age and especially musicals. Ever since I saw "That's Dancing"(a documentary film on the history of dance in musicals) when I was four, I have been extremely passionate about olden day films and Musicals. In the future I hope to enter the film industry whether that be producing,editing or preserving and collecting films. I really hope to spread this passion for black and white films and Musicals as never again will this genre enter the history of film.
Country:
Australia
Occupation:
Student
Hobbies:
Film History, Metro Goldwyn Mayer, The Golden Age of Hollywood, History of Musicals, Film Stars and am a collector of Classic Film Memoribillia(Scrapbooking).
Movies:
I watch Classic Movies and Musicals religiously. I especially enjoy watching Musicals with Eleanor Powell who is my idol! Some of my favourite musicals are Born to Dance, Gold Diggers of 1933, Dames, Gold Digger of 1935, Easter Parade, Priorities on Parade, Carefree, Ziegfeld Follies, An American in Paris, Thousands Cheer, Top Hat, Swing Time, Fifth Avenue Girl, Stage Door, Gone with the Wind, A StreetCar named Desire, Silent films with Rudolph Valentino. Besides Movie Musicals I enjoy watching Anime, favourite is Bleach.
Music:
I listen to mostly Jazz, Bossa Nova,Classical and Dance Music. Cannot tolerate rap,country or R&B. I have eclectic taste in music.
Books:
Mostly Classic English Literature and Japanese based books such as Tales of the Otori by Lian Hearn and Cloud of Sparrows/Autumn Bridge. Japanese History and culture, Books on famous film stars of the Golden Age and books on Musicals and Worldwide Cinema, Manga(One Piece, Rurouni Kenshin, Bleach etc).

What a shame you're not around any more. You're totally incognito now. You've forgotten all your old friends and disappeared into some sort of void somewhere.

Very interesting! You should also have a look at "Der blaue Engel" from 1930.

oh, i know! so many people don't know a thing about her! i just talked to some guy whose watched old movies for years i think, and he's watched like, literally, hundreds! and when i sent him an eleanor powell, he never heard of her? isn't that funny? :D and wow, that must be a hassle with your vidoes! i knew you had to go deep for such information, photos and records of eleanor powell, wow, i can see you worked hard on that! that is so amazing though! to be able to get that stuff, and all those photo! that's what i think makes your videos so unique and interesting and lovable!
