Two weeks sounds fine – unlike _some_ people, you chose a movie that’s actually pretty available. (Yup, I’ve got a copy, too.) And of course, it’s not like people can’t chime in later on the threads if they don’t get around to seeing the movies until somewhat later. BTW – the guy who played the detective/waiter in the Broadway production, Adam Heller, is the brother of a friend of mine. ---

So Maureen, will you be ready to select the next movie by next Wednesday? Hope so. 🙂 ---

Quick note folks. I just got finished watching “Elaine Stritch At Liberty”. I heartily recommend it to anyone here. She is just amazing! I wish that I would have caught the show live when it was touring. ---

Yup. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, as previously mentioned, the film I choose is **Daddy Long Legs** with Fred Astaire and Leslie Caron. One of my personal favorites. Astaire performs “Something’s Gotta Give,” and Caron dances beautifully. _sigh_ Love this movie. ---

**does a very Gallic fingertip-kissing gesture of appreciation (in honor of Mlle. Caron)** An outstanding choice, **Maureen**! Astaire is a deity to me – and yay! finally a musical with some serious dancing! This isn’t quite as common as **Victor/Victoria** , but also isn’t as obscure as **Neptune’s Daughter** , so how’s Wednesday the 18th for Miss **Maureen** to open the discussion? ---

I will be home from vacation on the 9th, so the 18th is actually perfect. Gives me time to settle back in. 🙂 ---

Hello everyone. Sorry I’m a little bit behind. But on we go!!! The film I have picked is “Kiss Me Kate” Not too mainstream, not too obscure, and it’s got my favorite musical staple, Ann Miller. Enjoy! We’ll meet back in a few weeks? Sept. 8 will it be? -Duck ---

Hooray! Howard Keel, Kathryn Grayson, Bob Fosse, Cole Porter + Miller, of course. 🙂 ---

Yay indeed! If Ruby Keeler is all about slow, awkward tapping, Ann Miller is her polar opposite. And Fosse. And Cole Porter. A wonderful choice! ---

I have always had totally mixed feelings about that one (Fosse! Miller! (yay!) The plot (boo)) - it’ll be good to see it again. ---
