I'm glad they shot it in black-and-white, too--it looked very classy (and I first learned about it in That's Entertainment as well. :-) ). One of the other things I really liked about this movie was there was no one using bodily functions as schtick like Melody 36 (sneezing) and Melody 38 (snoring). It made the whole thing a lot more comfortable.<br /><br />Thanks so much for joining the blogathon!Rebecca Denistonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07505297430024467869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5719905867000998397.post-6885887981235424592018-06-06T02:13:52.407-03:002018-06-06T02:13:52.407-03:00Even though I can't stand Murphy's charact...Even though I can't stand Murphy's character, I love this film and Astaire in it. He's just so adorable! Your gifs also reminded me how beautiful the film looks. My mom and I are always saying that black and white cinematography just has that special something that color can't duplicate.Michaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06595610476583704014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5719905867000998397.post-21018314698679646772018-06-03T21:45:38.852-03:002018-06-03T21:45:38.852-03:00WHOOPS!

I agree, judging by the photos I've seen online, that the film is perfect in black and white. The effect of Astaire and Powell dancing under the stars is gorgeous.Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5719905867000998397.post-75301028085247363842018-06-03T21:43:20.678-03:002018-06-03T21:43:20.678-03:00I've seen a bit of this film via "That...I've seen a bit of this film via "That's Entertainment", but haven't yet had the chance to watch the whole thing./;loiu7y6543qSilver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5719905867000998397.post-28124241934438463192018-06-03T20:44:10.229-03:002018-06-03T20:44:10.229-03:00Like you, my introduction to this movie was throug...Like you, my introduction to this movie was through That's Entertainment. The part of Begin the Beguine they show in the movie is spectacular, but the entire number is absolutely magnificent.<br /><br />Like you, I believe musicals are made for us to feel, and love would be much poorer without them.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.com
