Regardless of what opinion anyone might have of this movie, I think they simply HAVE to admit that this number was sheer genius. I absolutely LOVE the way in which the two sections which at first glance could not possibly seem more different work together at the end -- the music, the choreography, even the color palettes!
@rogue1303 Жыл бұрын
The blending of two genres should have resulted in garbage music but it was perfect. John Farrar wrote this song and even when I was a kid, I recognized it as incredible. The guy has to be a genius to make this work the way he did.

The talent in this movie has long gone unlauded. Gene Kelly and Olivia Newton John together was an incredible pairing of two powerhouse musicians. No wonder Michael Beck never got the kind of accolades his performance should have earned him. Two bright stars left him in the shadows, unfortunately. He was much better than he was given credit for.

Whoever designed the costumes for the 1940s dancers in particular was a genius because you have so many different archetypes from the period -- the beatnik, the bobby-soxer, the cigarette girl, the college boy, the gun moll, the sailor, the torch singer, the USO girl, the zoot suit, etc.
@michaeltutty15404 ай бұрын
@@OreadNYCBeatniks were in post war, so late 40s into the 50s. Zoot suits were definitely in the 40s, but again, post war. Material rationing prevented such wasteful tailoring. The costumes on the singers, though, were spot on. Beautiful in both material and design, and those amazing snoods! A wonderful tribute to The Andrews Sisters.

I think the same than alikishimmies..."the most genius melding of genres in the history of music and dance"...

Best scene in the whole movie, though I'm part of the unpopular minority that actually liked/likes Xanadu as a whole. I'm always amazed at how easily they merge the two styles of music from eras four decades apart that seem to be so radically different from each other yet turn out to be quite similar.

Yes, in fact "Hopelessly Devoted To You" was inspired by Skeeter Davis "The End Of The World". Also let's not forget that Barry Gibb wrote The Theme Song for Grease. What I really admired was that although her Best Girlfriend and Former Singing Partner Pat Farrar never went far as well as her Big Sister Rona (RIP) who was a backing performer on The UK Comedy Series Benny Hill, never showed any Ill Will because Olivia became a legend and they didn't.
@laminage4 жыл бұрын
Yes, in fact during the 1960's, John Farrar was in a Group called The Strangers in Australia. If you can check out Australian Music from the 1960's. A lot of talent from that Country and although The Bee Gees and Olivia Newton John were the most successful to come out of Australia musically at that time, they did kick the door open for future Musicians. Darcel Wynne would later marry Glenn Carl Leonard of The Temptations who became an Evangelist and sadly enough would die of Cancer.

@@youtoo2233 Very Good! I have The Album as well and The DVD. It's still a Cult Classic. When you get down to it, it's about having a Dream and making it come true. This Movie and American Gigolo (that John Travolta turned down at the last minute because he was upset at Moment By Moment being a Flop) showed a turning point in Society. Danny McGuire (Played By Gene Kelly RIP) and Sonny Malone (Played By Michael Beck) as well as Julian Kaye hung out in a Coffee Shop. In England it's Synonymous but not so much in North America. Now it's A Multi Billion Dollar Industry. So much has happened to Olivia Newton John. She got an Honorary Doctorate from an Australian University and was made a "Dame" by Queen Elizabeth. I can't remember the Last Female British Born Rock Star who got that Title. She's in good company with Mick Jagger, Elton John, Paul McCartney and her former Mentor Cliff Richard.

One of my favorite scenes in the movie. Have not watched this in a long time. Imagine how many rehearsals were needed, how many takes-- amazing. Also, the soundtrack version of this song (well, both tunes if we're being realistic) is a bit different; I prefer the audio here because there are added "goodies" and it's a bit longer. I saw this film when it came out in 1980 when I was 14. It was almost overwhelming. So much creativity, talent, color, energy, and music. And in this sequence, that whole concept of the two genres/periods eventually coming together and intertwining, that was genius. Love it!

They considered this movie a flop, but I can tell you it was NO FLOP, it was actually Genius! I would loveee to see them remake this movie with 1980 as the old style and 2022ish as the modern. I wonder who could play Kira and Sonny.

And a young Scott Bradlee, creator of Postmodern Jukebox, watches this and decides his fate. See what happens when people can appreciate music from different eras and quit complaining about how music was better now or in the early days? We can appreciate all styles, genres, and singers and create something wonderful.

This movie is so under-rated by critics. For me it was an imperfect movie. Bad script and story line but the musical numbers were terrific. In my opinion, if the story line were better this would have been a big hit. Whenever I watch the DVD I only watch the musical numbers and find it to be very entertaining.

This scene made me cry due to it's genius approximately the 1st twenty-seven times i observed it, and the very first time when Gene Kelly exclaims, "I love it!!" I could help shouting, "ME TOO!" That trio hurts my heart, I want to be them.

I gotta say, even though my school used this song in their dancing production and I heard it a million times while I was teching, It STILL gives me shivers. I absolutely adore this song and I have no idea why it was never too popular.

I can rememeber this film when I was a kid, this was so famous and popular in Mexico, but unfortunately I never had the chance to watch it. I'm almost 50 and I could rent it in YT, I totally enjoyed it! This scene means the real beginning of the 80's.

It’s the scene I remember the most. Great mix, perfectly in time. Saw Xanadu in 1980 at a German cinema. Roll back the time 😊.

I grew up with both genres of music, so when I saw this movie as a kid I immediately fell in love with it. I love how it all comes together in the end. And the trio from the bandstand remind me of The Andrews Sisters, who I listened to a lot growing up because we're huge Abbott & Costello fans and they made frequent appearances in their movies.

I think Julie is right. I could watch this over and over again because it is so well put together and catchy that I could be one the best numbers in movie history!

The one thing I love about this is that, even though this (clip alone) was filmed in the 80's it's something we can all identify with and love because of the fusion of two totally different eras becoming one. It's just genius! :-D
