We Watched the Movie Where Tobey Maguire Fights an Evil Doll (Revenge of the Red Baron) | Phelous

@Starcade

You HAVE to make time to watch #BreakfastAtTiffanys, which despite the racist portrayal of #MickeyRooney in #YellowFace as Hepburn's (Holly GoLightly's) upstairs neighbor, is one of my fave movies of all time.

It's ranked 61st in one the AFI's list of 100 best movies ever made & the AFI later ranked the movie's theme song -- #MoonRiver at 4th of 109 mobies for the best song.

Audrey Hepburn – „Frühstück bei Tiffany“ (1961)

Das ikonische Standbild: Audrey Hepburn in schwarzem Kleid, mit Zigarettenspitze, Hochsteckfrisur, Perlenkette, vor dem Schaufenster von Tiffany & Co., einsam wie ein Denkmal. Ein Bild, das sich in das kollektive Gedächtnis eingebrannt hat wie ein Werbeplakat für eine Zukunft, die nie kam. Ein Bild, das – so feministisch man(n) sich auch bemüht – leider nicht verschwinden will. Es ist schön. Es ist gefährlich. Weil es so tut, als würde es etwas erzählen, das es in Wahrheit verschweigt. (ARD, Wh)

1980s New Orleans saw this show "Sugar Babies" Mickey Rooney & Ann Miller. Vaudeville bits. The dancing was amazing, especially Ann Miller*. People of my generation may be familiar with the phrase "Eat your heart out, Ann Miller" that Columbia says in the movie "The Rocky Horror Picture Show".

Didn't get half the jokes but had fun. Candy thrown.
