June Allson - Til The Clouds Go By

*** Till the Clouds Roll By is one of several MGM musicals that have lapsed into the public domain due to MGM failing to renew copyright in the early-1970s. You can easily find this to be true by doing a google search for "Till the Clouds Roll public domain" This movie is listed on several reputable websites as being public. ***


June Allyson and the MGM chorus sing "Leave it To Jane" ... then "Cleopatterer". How could MGM let this movie fall into the public domain is beyond me.

"They'd stand there gazing in a line - and watch her agitate her spine!" I LOVE LYRICS LIKE THAT!

[mkrobinson95]

@tarotbear - yes, the lyrics were classic! but the line you referenced says "gaping", not "gazing" ... "They'd stand there gaping in a line, and watch her agitate her spine."

Amen to that!

My parents came to visit me in Hollywood when I was 19, I was there going to a music school for studio musicians. We were walking along Venice Beach and saw a film crew shooting some regular looking people out in the distance. There was a young woman with black hair and and older man and a middle age looking woman- that was June, yep even in person she looked ten years younger. The movie was Cocoon, though we had no idea. Mom said, ''Oh' that's June Allyson!''. Dad agreed. My brother & I-''Who?

This is wonderful! I think it's a disgrace America doesn't have a National Theatre dedicated to and producing these wonderful old musicals, mostly unknown to the general American public; haven't we had enough of SOUTH PACIFIC? We should be raising a new generation of performers who know how to sing in the old style without a microphone! There are billionaires who have the money to do it, but of course today globalization and the disappearance of national pride is the name of the game.

@waynebrasler - Your story is accurate, except for the name of her husband ... which was Dick Powell, not "Paul".

Back then, when communication was not what it was today and the movie magazines reigned, no one was clear enough about ages to logically figure out incongruities like that. My favorite June story; when Louis Mayer absolutely put his foot down about her marrying Paul she asked him to give her away at the wedding. He melted.  June said she was well aware of the problems others had with him but he was always good to her.
