How's that not the best Blendsday concept ever? It's even got Pepper Potts' mom, the governor from Benson, and Holling from Northern Exposure. Seriously, you just can't go wrong celebrating July 4th on Wednesday by watching this classic musical. (If you've never seen it, whet your appetite here with the first scene.)
I have never seen this. I liked the opening scene but have to wonder how many times "Mr. Adams" had to shoot the scene where he had to go down those zillion stairs. Thanks for the YouTube clip. I am going to see if I can locate a torrent of this.
ReplyDeleteHa! He is sure of foot... There are times where I think you can tell that William Daniels had some training as a dancer.
ReplyDeleteI should warn people that nearly all of this movie is much more corny and hokey -- and charming -- than one would expect for something made in 1972, well past the golden age of musicals. (But then there's that bit where Thomas Jefferson's wife comes for a visit, and the writing of the Declaration is put on hold for a while. The time period then makes some sense...) :-)
Holling!
ReplyDeleteWas Shelly even born in 1972? I'm afraid to check... :-)
DeleteC. Geary was born in 1965 ...
DeleteHey, by the way, I'm glad that Blogger doesn't just auto-update old posts with the newest versions of someone's image avatar. It's cool to see all of your old ones as I go through these posts.
