I’m a day late, but here we are.
This week, I watched two innovative musicals:
Love Me Tonight (1932)
Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald star in this whimsical musical. I LOVED the style and innovation in this one, gotta watch it! Highly recommended film.
The Merry Widow (1934)
Same pair as above, and similar in style but I didn’t like it as much. You can see it’s more of an Astaire-Rogers affair, which is fine but not as innovative as Love Me Tonight.
I just finished this gem this morning too:
Fury (1936)
Spencer Tracy stars in this serious film about justice (and injustice). I was definitely thinking about the 1/6 insurrection when watching it. Great film to watch, but probably only once. Oh, and Spencer Tracy was amazing in it. After watching this film, I was also thinking what it would’ve been like if James Cagney was the lead, wowza! Also, if you loved 12 Angry Men (1957), you will most likely love this one too.
