Der #Tänzer im #Regen

Ein nächtlicher Tanz mit Regenschirm in den #Straßen von #LosAngeles machten ihn #unsterblich: #GeneKelly hatte als #maskulin-#athletischer #Typ mit #Charme und #Humor maßgeblichen Anteil am #Boom des #Filmmusicals in #Hollywood. Am 2. Februar 1996 starb er.

I must be slipping. I can't remember having come across this song by the great Harry Warren and Al Dubin ('42nd Street') before, or the film it comes from. I know. Dick Powell! Ruby Keeler! Obviously it's up to their usual fabulous standard.

It's my first day on Mastodon, but even on a good day I don't make an entrance quite these two do.

My favourite film is Howard Hawks' 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes', and here we have, literally in the first few moments of the film, Jane and Marilyn starting as they mean to go on.

If you haven't seen it, rush and get a DVD or something right now.
