Inklings // Febuary 2021 / Swing Time

 This month I am doing Inklings for the first time. It is a monthly prompt were you post a scene from a book or movie using the months prompt.

The prompt for February is a snow scene in a book or film. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgON6G2H9kwMQ1g3pKI_qdbqvEcZht9OsjNcBeKmWMFQFtixAzuDU6gn_6g2AabYi4GfHj1ACBQk_QbJP6a6ykbNXcLWS0kxK7A9u9tgtShZpBJmm2GicGRRYFsIeL1v3NLlE5uLkpYfCc/s1200/Inklings+button+July+2020.jpg

 It is hosted by Along the Brandywine. http://ladyofanorien.blogspot.com/2021/02/inklings-february-2021.html?m=0#comment-form

 Swing Time holds the distinction of being the only Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers film that has a scene with snow. 

 First when Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire sing "A Fine Romance;"





and then once again at the end with with snow falling while Fred and Ginger sing a reprise of "A Fine Romance" and "The Way You Look Tonight."

    I've only seen part of Swing Time, but it was this scene and I loved it! The winter fashion is darling and the song had me smiling the whole way through. Great pick!

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954)

Image
  I am writing this post for The Umpteenth Blogathon Hosted by Essays from the Couch.   Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is classic musical about towns girl Millie (Jane Powell) who marries backwoodsman Adam Pontipee (Howard Keel) after a whirlwind courtship and goes to live with him and his six brothers on his farm.  Howard Keel sings "Bless Yore Beutiful Hide." Jane Powell sings "Wonderful, Wonderful Day."  Jane Powell sings "Goin' Co'tin'" and preform a fun dance number with the brothers.  The barn-raising dance is one of highlights of the movie.  The Brothers sing "Lonesome Polecat" and preform a ballet type number.  Howard Keel and the brothers sing "Sobbin' Women."  The girls sing "June Bride."  The brothers and the girls sing "Spring, Spring, Spring."  I  have seen this movie so many times so I thought it would be perfect for this blogathon; it is also the first musical I remember liking.

Double Agent (1987)

   If there was anybody who know how to make a movie "so bad it was good" to perfection, it was Disney as this '80s spy film shows.  Veterinarian, Warren Starbinder, (Micheal McKean) lives a normal life with his wife, their two kids, and the family dog.    That all changes when he is convinced by Special Agent Vaughn (Loyd Bochner) to pose as his identical twin brother Jason Starr.  Soon Warren is trying to meet a contact, to get a secret document; all the while trying to avoid a thug and two KGB agents who are after him.   At first Warren doesn't believe that his brother was a spy till he's shown the spy gadgets in his apartment; because a man is not a secret agent unless he has cool spy gadgets in his apartment.  A secret agent must also have a fancy high-powered car with cool gadgets; a pack of licorice sticks instead of cigarettes, and a partner who just got of spy school, who is more of a hindrance than a help.  Of course no self respect...

 I am doing Thursday Movie Picks for the first time ever.  It is hosted by Wandering through the Shelves .     The theme for Thursday this week is Oscar Winners: Best Original Score and Best Original Song .  Ideally I should of posted this on Thursday, but I've been so busy I haven't had time to write anything till now. Best Original Score  Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954) I love the score for this movie. It's very lighthearted and fun, and it suits the movie perfectly. The Sound of Music (1965)  The score for this movie is very good. It's one of my favorites.  Chariots of Fire (1981)  I think the score is one of the things that really make this movie. I love it. It's very moving and very good.   Best Original Song Swing Time (1936) ~ "The Way You Look Tonight"  I love this song, and it was the third song to win the Academy Award for Best Song. Holiday Inn (1942) ~ "White Christmas" This is a classic Christmas song, ...
