Getting ahead again. Tomorrow's theme is Best Sound and it gets back to a few more films that I truly enjoy. I go behind lately, and I think it was in part due to the fact that there were few films that rank high on my list.
Recommended:
Gold Diggers Of 1933 (1933) - Busby Berkeley at, really, his best. The numbers are outstanding and the story is wonderful. Great film.
Hollywood Canteen (1944) - This film is just quite a bit of fun. A treat.
Cleopatra (1934) - Good version of this story. I am not a huge Colbert fan, but enjoy this film.
Imitation Of Life (1934) - Speaking of Colbert, this is my favorite of hers. I think I prefer the Sirk version, but this one has many merits and is stronger in terms of acting if not as stylish or campy.
The Dirty Dozen (1967) - Not a favorite of mine, but one to see.
Highly Recommended:
This is a hard choice, but I have to go with Gold Diggers. This is really one film you need to see to understand the film musical in the 1930s.
Haven't Seen, But Want To:
Hangmen Also Die (1943) - A Fritz Lang film I haven't seen. Sounds good.
Really Not Interested:
Oklahoma! (1955) - Sorry, I've tried to watch this many times but have never been able to get through it.
The Rest:
General Spanky (1936)
So This Is Washington (1943)
That Girl From Paris (1936)
Bright Victory (1951)
The Bells Of St. Mary's (1945)
