Musicals – Never get Sick of them
August 29th 2006 06:06
Are you one of those people who enjoy watching the old musicals like The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, Blue Hawaii, My Fair Lady and The Young Ones …..?
Not only do these musicals re-emphasize the era they were made in, but it also gives us the idea of: the type of English they spoke, the clothes they wore and just how they viewed life on the whole.
Also it is always interesting to observe that most of the time, the actor or actress was a popular singer like: Julie Andrews, Elvis Presley and Cliff Richards.
We have moved away from the era these movies were made in. Not only in terms of music, but dress, hairstyles, lifestyles and technology. But I never get sick of watching these movies.

A few I enjoy-
West Side Story,
The Girl Cant Help It with Jayne Mansfield,
King Creole with Elvis is the best of the Elvis films IMO, Jailhouse Rock being a close second.
Guys and Dolls with Sinatra and Brando
High Society and Anchors Away are also fun Sinatra musicals
Hans Christian Anderson with Danny Kaye
Willy Wonka and The Choclatate Factory
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
My favourite of all time is either Bob Fosse's All The Jazz or John Landis The Blues Brothers. Neither of these are from the era your refering to though.
