MGM: GO BIG OR GO HOME

Industrial Art Deco still Rules! How do you do!🎉😂

現代では決して叶うことのない美しさ。 でもlana del reyは2024年にこのミニチュア版を再現した！

Put this set and show inside the the Staples center bldg in downtown la it would go great with the architecture

The architecture very very good

I own all the MGM musicals, Eleanor Powell, etc. never gets tired of Hermes Pan was genius. Busby was great too. Frank was right. We’ll never see this again. The golden age of talent. Thank you for this gift.

Terrifying and Nightmarish! Angels and Demons intermixed America 1936: Gemans and Italians, Lutherans, Freudians, Vatican Jesuits Dante's map of Paradisio capped by Venus - Ishtar - (the ISIS on the cake). Inspiration for "Wizard of Oz" | "Foreign Correspondent" The director Robert Z. Leonard's films: DO NOT trust women! (King Edward and Bessie abducation - darkest hour).

Está escena,la copiaron varios años después en colores con un actor francés llamado getary,película que también trabajaban Óscar levant y gene Kelly

O último dos super gênios foi cedo demais: SAMMY DAVIES JR!😢😢😢

I would be interested to hear what AI would come up with. Purely for research and an I suppose an element of intrigue. Personally I have made very little use of AI. I did ask a friend who is a professional blogger if he could help me out with a logo and within the hour he presented me with three designs. When I ask how he managed it so quickly he told me he had used AI to design them. I wonder if he will ever use AI to right his blog?

Goodness, what an interesting notion. You could actually just ask chat gtp and see what it says. I'm very curious now but so far have resisted using it at all on some sort of principle. Eventually I will have to relent, I suppose. I imagine Star Wars done by R would be like a blend of Hitchcock and Scorcese. Although as I think it's essentially a kids/family movie that really wouldn't work at all.

Watching "Pretty Girl is like a Melody", these Beautiful Girls in Balldresses remind me of my Mum. I have Photographs of her, exactly the same curled Hair and that WHITE RIBBON with a Bow! Although her Evening Dress was not THAT Flamboyant.

I dare any popstar-actress-actor-performer to learn this exceptional number. Incredibly talented people once we had. Above all, their beauty was enhanced by class and scene lights, not edited by photoshop.

Very Beautiful.

Beautiful really haunting sound which goes well with the year 1939

Crikey! That's a dramatic and evocative teaser for the series. Nice to see an upload from you.

MGM was the greatest musical factory ever invented. No studio has ever produced musicals that can equal those of the Freed Unit.

Cringe narcissism.

Compare this to some of our current crap such as rap, etc and we've lost so much we cannot reclaim.

Interesting and thought provoking

Most Art Deco thing I've ever seen ! ❤❤❤🎵🎺♠♥🎷🎼🎥💽🎭🌚🌂

👍❤

I read somewhere that Robert Alda (father of Alan) was the actual singer.

That curtain omg

Wow wow wow there is literally nothing close to this now. Hollywood is long dead. It truly was the dream factory.

Musicals will never be the way it was then .absolutely beautiful the dancers and there dance scenery back then was beautiful. Fred Was a great tap dancer then so was Eleanor Powell a great female dancer .they may be gone but there dance routine will always be remembered. Rest in peace to all the best dancers of that time godbless them amen🙏🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🦋🦋🦋🌹🌹🌹🕺💃🙏💖

No one could out-tap Powell.. not even Astaire! She makes it look joyous and effortless.

Dennis Day was dubbed.

Those dancers dressed as glittering black birds with fringe to their ankles... simply the most amazing, exotic costumes I've ever seen, and I'm over 70.

Too bad it looks like these productions won’t be repeated. I’m almost feeling sorry for future generations

Better than the vitriol Hollywood makes today.

The amazing talent and artistic genius here is absolutely mesmerizing. We were creatively pure genius, pure art and pure entertainment. Unfortunately almost a hundred years later, we're banning books, dividing, funding armed insurrectionists, blocking civil rights and voting rights, allowing corporations, fossil fuels and arms to rule the globe at our peril.

Narrated by Frank Sinatra.

I wish I could be sitting up on those steps!

Better go to the bathroom before you get on this set.

Without reading all the comments, I don't know if anyone has already mentioned it...but it's worth mentioning anyway. For some reason I have never heard, Dennis Morgan's singing voice was dubbed over wih Allan Jones's voice. Why? 🤷🏻‍♂️

🎉😮😂❤THIS SHOULD GO VIRAL!!!🎉😮😂❤😊

You are so bold and brave. Thanks for doing this!

Goodness! I appreciate the message so gracefully given here. I hope they're not all things you've actually had said to you at some point. While I did laugh at a couple, just out of shock I recognise how vicious people can be.

ick

Said hello on the new culture forum as I am a sub. Didn’t want u to think it was random

Is it just me or does that male voice sound more like Allen Jones? 🤔🧐

It is driving me crazy. What is the name of the classical song at the beginning before Frank Sinatra speaks? I can't get enough to search it.

I’ve been in love with this picture and Mr. Morgan my entire life! Just fantastic!

巨大なデコレーションケーキのようなセットを考え沢山のダンサーや俳優、歌手まで全ての登場人物にヘアメイクし衣装を着せる、そこにはどれだけの人手と労力がかかったか。 ここまでの豪華なショウはできないと言われたそうで、今もって不可能です。 よく見るとみんな違う魅力的な人ばかりで眼福です。 夢の工場MGM🏭、かつての栄光をこうして自宅で楽しめるようになって嬉しい一方、もう一度こんな魅力ある映画産業が栄えることがないのが残念です😢

Love all these old movies better than today with everyone flying around

16 seconds in the second girl on the left in white totally looses count and messes up. She plonks herself down on that step it must have been a real jolt. I always wonder if any of the other three girls noticed, or any of the boys on the stairs to the right. The boys have very little time to move from the two lines facing each other to the one line up the side of the staircase. The lead girl in black also has to move to where Dennis Morgan was standing for his last part of his solo section, between the first two girls in the big white frocks. All of the girls in black with the black masks also had to do a mad dash while the camera is focusing on Virginia Bruce in time for the pull-back. Dennis Morgan also has to run from the end of his opening solo which is before this clip starts at the very beginning of the number, behind the massive curtain while action/dancing is going on in front of it, to be in his place for the final solo. As fabulous, truly fabulous as this number is, I've watched it so many times and focused on what the camera isn't picking up. A LOT of running to get into new positions for that pull-back. It would have been absolutely incredible to have worked on this. That contraption that lifts the huge weight of fabric in the curtains must have been massive and very complicated. Not only is it lifting the curtain with it's weight, but it's also lifting it AND turning at the same time and lifting and lowering in in drops! Amazing, amazing work.

The song is not sung by Dennis Morgan, he "lip synced" it!!!!! The song is sung by tenor John Steel!

Ziggy?

この時代にこの完成度素晴らしい！
