Monday, September 9, 2019, 2:07 pm — Perkins … stopped in her tracks …
… I hear something …
… do you know what it is? …
… have to go find out …
… it’s Betty Garrett … singin’ to Frank Sinatra … It’s Fate, Baby, It’s Fate … in Take Me Out to the Ball Game, 1949 …
We’re goin’ On the Town (1949) for a Happy 4th of July 2015!
Happy landings … Betty Garrett, Frank Sinatra … Ann Miller, Jules Munshin … Vera-Ellen, Gene Kelly …
Bye, boys … We’ll write you every day …
Searched high and low for a good On the Town Statue of Liberty photo … Leave it to our German compatriots … Here’s The Lady in a movie program for Das ist New York! / That’s New York! … Heut gehn wir bummeln / Today we go strolling … Notice anything strange on the left? … The guys the gals are kissin’ look like stand-ins!
Betty Garrett … my favorite … ever optimistic …
She dreamt they’d all get back together … and she was right! … on the cover of Screen Stories, January 1950 … Those wonderful days when a movie magazine was only 15 cents … Look who’s got the biggest picture … Betty and Frank!
Best of all, On the Town was on TCM this morning (3:15 am) as I wrote this post … Perfect inspiration!
One more for the road … Gene, Jules and Frank … recording the soundtrack … What guys! What gobs! What men!
Movies, Of Course!
