So This Is Hollywood

A Smiling million - right to the penny, for that's what the combined yearly salary of this beaming group of 17 paramount stars amounts to. In case the sight of so much money made you blink, we'll identify them for you. Top row, left to right: Stuart Erwin, Eugene Pallette, Clive Brook, Kay Francis, Gary Cooper, Jack Oakie, Skeets Gallagher, William Boyd. Second row: Richard Arlen, Carole Lombard, Wynne Gibson, Rosita Moreno, Norman Foster, Sylvia Sidney, Lilyan Tashman. Mitzi Green and Jackie Searl are the youngsters in front.

This film was really hard to find, but I finally did it! I had fairly low expectations of Skippy, but it’s actually not that bad. Skippy received the Oscar for Best Director for Norman Taurog.

100+ Films of 1952

Film number 146: Bloodhounds of Broadway

Release date: November 14th, 1952 

Studio: 20th Century Fox 

Genre: musical 

Director: Harmon Jones 

Producer: George Jessel 

Actors: Mitzi Gaynor, Scott Brady, Mitzi Green, Marguerite Chapman 

Plot Summary: “Numbers” Foster and “Poorly” Sammis are two New York bookies fleeing the law. When their car runs out of gas in Georgia, their fates cross with Emily Ann, a sweet farm girl who dreams of the big city. They agree to take her to New York, where she uses her singing and dancing talents to earn a living. But will Numbers and Poorly manage to keep the police away? 

My Rating (out of five stars): ***¼  

I’ll admit I have a bit of a soft spot for 20th Century Fox musicals. They are often shamelessly cheesy fluff, but they have their own charm because they don’t take themselves seriously. Sonja Henie’s ice-skating musicals are one of my most embarrassing guilty pleasures, and even though Alice Faye’s films aren’t as silly, I love them too. This film didn’t reach the dizzying insanity of a Henie musical, but it was a bubbly and cute 90-minute diversion.

The Good: 

Mitzi Gaynor. She was barely more than a teenager here and came across as wholesomely adorable. She had a very natural screen presence and thankfully required no vocal dubbing. Her dancing was especially fun to watch. (And she’s still alive today at 92! Rock on!) 

Mitzi Green as Tess. I loved her so much as Rosetta in Lost in Alaska, and I was thrilled to recognize her here. She's got a terrifically distinctive speaking voice, and she can sing and dance to boot. Tess was a great character with an unusual mix of sweetness and wise-cracks. 

Marguerite Chapman as the cynical, mink loving, lounge singing mistress of Numbers. Va-va-voom!  

Wally Vernon as Poorly. He was a gifted comedic character actor- a total scene stealer. 

The Bloodhounds! They were so cute, they made me want to go out and adopt some. (They require a lot of exercise, though!) For some goofy reason they were named Nip and Tuck, which has a much different association 72 years later! 

The dance trio number between Gaynor, Green, and Richard Allan was the unquestionable highlight for me. I went back and re-watched it.

Gaynor gave her Southern character an actual Southern accent! And it wasn’t too bad either! By Hollywood standards of the time, when accents were laughably bad, it was pretty damn good. 

This was pure 20th Century Fox musical fluff. If that’s not your jam, you’ll probably want to skip the film. Obviously for me, that attribute goes on my “Good” list! 

The Technicolor looked its luscious best, and I can never get enough of it.

The Bad: 

The story was totally unbelievable. Yes, part of that works when the film is a wacky cornball musical, but it could also be distracting if you thought about it too much. 

Many of the musical numbers were not filmed especially interestingly. Fox didn’t have the master technicians of MGM’s musical department. The numbers were better shot than earlier films I’ve seen like Just for You and Somebody Loves Me, though. 

Another example of a Hollywood film somehow cramming the world’s largest stage into an impossibly small venue! 

Scott Brady as the male lead was handsome, but not much else, unfortunately. 

Were the poor dogs sedated at points? There were a couple of scenes where I seriously wondered!

2023: Tina Turner, Anna Mae Bullock, cantante e attrice statunitense naturalizzata svizzera, tra le più famose e acclamate interpreti femminili della musica rock. All’età di dieci anni cantava già nel coro della chiesa della sua città, dove il padre Richard era pastore. Con una carriera lunga più di mezzo secolo, che va dagli anni sessanta agli anni duemila, è stata definita “la regina del rock…

🎺【The Lady Is a Tramp】是 Rodgers and Hart 1937 年音樂劇《Babes In Arms》中的一首表演歌曲，由 Mitzi Green 演唱。這首歌是對紐約上流社會及其嚴格禮儀的惡搞 (這首詩歌的第一段歌詞侍者首歌曲的意義重點：「I get too hungry for dinner at eight...」 (我太餓了，八點才吃晚飯…)。

2011 年，女神卡卡 @LadyGaga 與 Tony Bennett / @itstonybennett 一起翻唱了這首歌，該歌曲收錄在 Tony Bennett 的專輯《Duets II》中。該歌曲於 2011 年 10 月 3 日作為單曲發行。

這首歌還收錄在 Tony Bennett 和 Lady Gaga 的首張合作爵士專輯《Cheek to Cheek》 (爵對經典) 的 HSN 版和國際實體豪華版中，作為專輯加值曲目。

他們翻唱的���The Lady is a Tramp〉是專輯錄製過程中，最後一首錄製完成的歌曲，是在經過漫長的修改之後，距離專輯截止日期前幾天才大功告成。

於 2011 年 7 月 31 日在紐約 Avatar Studios 1 號錄音室進行。樂手與 Tony 他們和 Gaga 一起度過了兩個小時，在那段時間裡，他們為 MV 拍攝了六次。當地《The New Yorke》報導稱 Lady Gaga 當時非常緊張，一整天都在喝威士忌。Gaga 問 Tony：「以前是不是所有的女孩子都要喝醉了才有辦法和你一起出去玩？你真是一艘夢想之船！」

音樂錄影帶 MV 中，Tony Bennett 與 Lady Gaga 在錄音室的樂譜架前一起演唱〈The Lady Is a Tramp〉。

兩人都穿著黑色系服裝，Tony 穿著西裝，Gaga 則穿著黑色半透明蕾絲晚禮服。儘管他們穿著黑色衣服，但他們都將造型加入一些其他色彩形成對比，Tony 胸前的口袋裡放著一塊紅色手帕，而 Gaga 則戴著綠松石色的鮑伯假髮。

在 MV 的開頭和其他的鏡頭中，Gaga 拿著一個威士忌杯。影像呈現出的氛圍輕鬆愉快，兩位歌手臉上不斷露出微笑，用手勢、擺臂表達當下的幸福。

與歌詞內容相符，MV 的鏡頭也採用了兩人一來一往的風格，展示了兩位歌手的歌詞切換。除了基本舞動之外，兩人還在歌詞的搭配下做出手勢並互相指向對方。

Gaga 從 Tony 的口袋裡拉出紅色手帕揮灑，她還多次舉起裙子的下擺跟著歌曲擺動，並在她唱道「I'm so broke.」 (我破產了) 的時候轉向 Tony 的麥克風。

最後一句歌詞是「That's why this lady is a tramp.」(這就是為什麼這位女士是流浪漢。) MV 最後，Gaga 親吻了 Tony 的臉頰，Tony 向她表示感謝。

More Adventure Landing stuff!

I don't know if the stuff I've found or heard other people talk about is 100% true so don't take everything as fact but I did find more pictures :]

I was looking around and it seems that the Rockafire-Explosion got removed around 2003 when the company was sold and the new owners remodeled(heard from someone else where people were trying to find information as well👀). I saw a video from 2 years ago which said that Jack Turner owned them but I'm not sure if that's true or not. BUT HEY. THEY DIDN'T GET DESTROYED!!! 🎉🎊✨️

(Atleast not when they got removed)

Anyway. Here are some more pictures!

And yes... THAT IS A GREEN LOONEY BIRD!!!!

The video also stated that Rolfe had a Hook at one point which I find that to be really funny if that's true LOL.

How is he gonna pay taxes with no hands?!? He must make Earl do it.

Beach Bear's really cool Guitar!
