Confession time: I get all happy-teared during this song. Whether in the movie or here, during the Muppet Show (raise your hand if at all shocked that I own the complete show on DVD).

Here’s the ending of that episode.

(thanks, Anthony)

I DIED watching this, with the “S’Marvelous” and the “Meant for Me” and the slow “Singin’”….

“At 14, I discovered girls. At that time, dancing was the only way you  could put your arm around the girl. Dancing was courtship. Only later  did I discover that you dance joy. You dance love. You dance dreams.” — Gene Kelly

I haven’t seen this publicity shot before. I just love Judy so much more with her hair down! And Gene Kelly, as always.

The Pirate (1948)

After a fruitless search via Google for the script, I decided to do it myself. After a lot less effort than I expected (and more in other areas), I’ve completed the literal script (with limited help via closed captioning, which, by the way, misses a lot). I’m excited. Now, who can I make act it out with me?

New Yorker Magazine, August 1, 2011.  page 12.  Judy and Gene in a wood block-like image highlighting text on “For Me and My Gal” (screenings August 2 and August 2 at the Walter Reade).  ”The patriotic spectacle’s ambient violence and frustrated desire emerge in Berkeley’s nervously roving takes that capture Garland’s twitchy, electrifying energy, which, here, generates sexual heat.”  Richard Brody’s text on the film focuses on eroticism, which is not off the mark for this movie-loving and Garland-loving gal.

Still, I liked them together in “The Pirate”.

Seriously, go see “The Pirate”. It’ll change your life. You’ll never see Gene Kelly the same and you will love him terribly and if you don’t I’ll beat you up.

How perfect can one person be?

Apparently my blog’s turning into a Gene Kelly appreciation thing. Well, at least it’s pretty.
(FYI, go see “THE PIRATE”)
