Carefree (1938) Wedding

 The wedding in Carefree features an outdoor wedding, a change of grooms, and a bride with an accidental black eye.

 Made in 1938 the fashions look more 1940s than 30s. 








 You can read my full review of this movie here: Carefree (1938).

 I wrote this post for the June 2021 Film Blogging Challenge.

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.

My Ten Favorite Disney Movie Soundtracks

 In my opinion one of the things that really makes a movie is the soundtrack, and I have always been a fan of the classic Disney soundtracks from the 60s-70s. I'm not going to be counting Disney musicals in this list, and this list is in no particular order.  1 . Candleshoe (1977)   Candleshoe's soundtrack by Ron Goodwin is probably one of my favorite soundtracks  You can listen to it on YouTube here: Candleshoe Soundtrack   2. Snowball Express (1972)   Robert F. Brunner composed the soundtrack to Snowball Express , and it's really good.  You can listen to a clip of it here:  Snowball Express Skiing Scene     3. The Apple Dumpling Gang (1975)  If you feel like a western The Apple Dumpling Gang has a really fun score.  Buddy Baker composed it and Shane Tatum wrote the soundtrack.  You can listen to the theme song here: The Apple Dumpling Gang Theme Song . 4. Kidnapped (1960)  Cedric Thorpe Davie composed a rousing soundtrack for Kidnapped .  You can listen to the the

The Nine Lives of Elfego Baca and The Swamp Fox

Image
 My favorite TV series Disney made was their historical fiction shows in the 50s and 60s.  While Davey Crockett was probably their most famous historical show; Disney also made other shows such as; The Swamp Fox, Texas John Slaughter, and Elfego Baca.  For this post I'm going to be talking about the two shows I'm most familiar with, "The Swamp Fox" and "The Nine Lives of Elfego Baca." "The Nine Lives of Elfego Baca" (1958-1960)  Based on the true story of Elfego Baca, (played by Robert Loggia), this series is one of my favorite westerns.  The episodes were introduced by Walt Disney, and had a catchy theme song.  The pilot episode tells the true story of when Elfego Baca held of eighty cowboys who fired 4,00 bullets in to the shack he was holding up in; and he wasn't even wounded.  The series lasted for ten episodes, and most, if not all, of them can be found on YouTube.  "The Swamp Fox" (1959-1961)  Based on the true story story of Re
