Manhattan

[@princeandrey]

A sheer delight! Funny Rooney, sweet Rooney, standing in between two handsome men, looking comical and singing marvelously! I love when the piano-player looks askance at Rooney's cigar!

[@patrickrowlinson3204]

What a fantastic movie. Words and Music, the Hart and Rodger's story.

[@calvinjackson538]

Mickey Rooney and Tom Drake as they can never be again. WOW!!!Love this song!!

[@angelagonsowski8080]

Love Rogers and Hart. Timeless tunes.

[@princeandrey]

The best!

[@bettyjojoeharperre-imagina7322]

Love this film. Makes me bawl every time I watch it!

The 1929 Rodgers and Hart film short ‘Makers of Melody’ probably has my favorite performance of their song Manhattan more than any other version, for me at least.

[@MrCrowebobby]

Tom Drake was gorgeous in this.

[@luishumbertovega3900]

Mickey Rooney could do it all, the same with Singin' In The Rain's Donald O'Connor, both great artists almost from the cradle. Having Laurence Olivier praising Mickey's talents says a lot !

[@joybreeden366]

Mickey was a rock star

[@fferocious]

Right on David Carey. Dinah Washington's version is superb. The "superbest" I've heard.

[@RSYERACADIVAD]

Great song. I especially like it performed by Dinah Washington.

[@rogerpropes7129]

Mickey doesn't get his due as an actor since he was hard to cast as an adult; Olivier called him 'the greatest actor of them all'.

[@alexkije]

Utterly great as a montage!

inolvidable y un genio michey rooney

[@hollydrucker6360]

They do not make it like this anymore!😊

[@Juliaflo]

You said it so sweetly.

[@arthurharrison1345]

This was Bill Lee's first film dubbing vocal. He also did the singing voice for Christopher Plummer in "The Sound of Music" (1965).

[@luishumbertovega3900]

Somewhere I read Bill Lee also sang instead of Guy Williams in Disney's Zorro and for other guest stars whose characters were supposed to sing in that series, except for Henry Calvin, who played Sgt García and was a classically trained baritone with experience in opera.

[@moebanshee]

great movie

[@EBBING2003]

Dinah Washington's version is the best

[@androo4519]

Blossom Dearie's version also superb

[@WillScarlet16]

Odd bit of trivia - Lorenz Hart, who was gay in real life, is played by Mickey Rooney, a born-again Christian who opposed gay rights for most of his life. On the other hand, the straight Richard Rodgers is played by Tom Drake, who later came out as gay!

[@WillScarlet16]

Alex Kije Happens to be accurate.

[@jblue705]

@@WillScarlet16 Tom Drake was gay, but like most of his contemporaries, he was never “out” in his lifetime. He also mostly faded into episodic television guest appearances after his career with MGM, so he wasn’t a particularly well-known enough actor for anyone to really care if he was out or not. He was never a well-known actor.

[@jamespfitz]

​@@jblue705And? None of that is relevant to the observation; does it please you to denigrate his career unnecessarily?

[@spectrum10]

@@jblue705 He was in several MGM hit movies, albeit from yesteryear. Probably well-known by earlier generations

[@MrCrowebobby]

So happy to know Tom Drake was gay. He was gorgeous at that age.

[@davemitchell116]

Would someone please help me get "77, W-A-B-C" out of my brain!!

[@spectrum10]

how about "66 W-N-B-C"

[@KokoPuffs52]

Marshall Thompson, not Thomas. :)

[@manuelperales579]
