When actors could act, dancers could dance, and men were men...
Geez..
I just watched His Girl Friday.
I tell you what..they just don't make movies like this anymore.
This movie had more dialog in one minute than most modern movies have an hour. Fast paced, witty, and just incredible acting. Had me in side splitting laughter half the time...and not one sexual joke or cuss world. Imagine that. :D
Just got me thinking about how hollywood lacks talent anymore. I mean you watch movies like "Singing in the Rain" where Gene Kelley does a 3 minute dance scene without cuts...and compare it to what we get today. I heard an NPR interview this week about the movie Chicago the other day. One of the guys main points was how nowadays they have to cut up dance scenes because the talent isn't there.
I say shove it..bring back fred astaire, ginger rogers, gene kelley, and the crew or REAL actors/dancers. :p
There stars just aren't as talented.
Don't get me wrong, you have good actors, but you go back to the golden years and you get to see what a versatile actor really is.
Anyway..just thought I'd rant.
If you haven't seen His Girl Friday...you NEED to. It's a golden film.
