My Favorite Brunette (1947)

 

 This movie is hilarious. 

 Bob Hope plays Ronnie Jackson, a baby photographer, who wants to be a private detective.

 When Ronnie is mistaken for his neighbor detective Sam McCloud, Baroness Carlotta Montay (Dorothy Lamour) hires him to find her missing uncle, who is on a top secret mission.
 Ronnie doesn't know if he wants to work for her though, after her uncle's former partner Major Montague (Charles Dingle) tells him that Carlotta is insane.
 The rest of the movie is about Ronnie and Carlotta falling in love;
Ronnie trying to find evidence to capture the bad guys,
and the bad guys trying to get a map from Ronnie, that Carlotta gave him.
 Alan Ladd and Bing Crosby make a very fun cameo appearance.

 My Favorite Brunette is a very funny movie.

 I wrote this post for the 1st Annual Bing and Bob Blogathon hosted by Hoofers and Honeys of the Classic Movie Era. https://knwiniarski.com/the-1st-annual-bing-and-bob-blogathon-is-here/

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.

 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.

Thursday Movie Picks / Actors or Actresses Playing Themselves

Image
 I am doing Thursday Movie Picks again.   It is hosted by Wandering through the Shelves .     The theme for Thursday this week is: Actors of Actresses Playing Themselves .   I had thought about writing about actors playing themselves in a main role, but I could only think of one movie, so I thought I would write about actors playing themselves in cameo roles. Dancing Lady (1933) ~ Fred Astaire  This movie is Fred Astaire's first film appearance, and the only time he played himself.  Angels in the Outfield (1951) ~ Bing Crosby   Bing Crosby who was a part owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates, plays himself in a short cameo appearance. The Bellboy (1960) ~ Jerry Lewis Jerry Lewis plays himself in a cameo appearance... in a film were he also plays the main character.
