Steven Spielberg is set to remake the classic movie “Harvey,” the story of a man who claims to have an invisible 6-foot rabbit friend. Casting is not set, but studio execs expect the film to open late next year.
James Stewart starred in the original 1950 film as the lovable eccentric, Elwood P. Dowd. Josephine Hull won an Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her role as Veta Louise Simmons. The film is based on the Pulitzer Prize play by Mary Chase.
From the film, Calamity Jane, starring Doris Day and Howard Keel. Her voice is like butter!
“Once I had a secret love, that lived within the heart of me…”
I simply love this clip of Judy Garland singing “Get Happy” from the musical, Summer Stock.
I watched The Pink Panther today and was so taken with this little number by Fran Jeffries. Enjoy!
This is one of my favorite films! Starring Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron, and Oscar Levant, it’s the story of an American painter who must choose between the patronage of a rich American woman (Nina Foch) and a French girl (Leslie Caron) engaged to a cabaret singer. The best part is the final dance sequence (17 minutes long) that depicts the mental battle going through the mind of Jerry Mulligan (Gene Kelly).
This is a film you MUST see! “S’ Wonderful!”
Note: By the way, there was a recent write-up about Oscar Levant in Newsweek.
