Can We Talk 2

TV Watching

         While convalescing, I have watched a lot of movies. My favorites have been musicals. Good old stand-byes I've seen many times before. After watching Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, I concluded I like watching men dance. That includes Oklahoma, which I watched the following week, and Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire in almost anything. Even Frank Sinatra did a few song and dance movies with Gene. This past weekend I saw Kiss Me Kate again, and loved watching James Whitmore, not a dancer, sing and dance to "Brush Up Your Shakespeare". I like Howard Keel and Kathryn Grayson, but after Seeing Taylor and Burton in The Taming of the shrew, Keel and Grayson fall a little short in the acting department,

         I've also learned to identify Carole Lombard and Joan Fontaine. I recognized "Granny" (Beverly Hillbillies) Irene Ryan, onMy Dear Secretary with Kirk Douglas, not a musical, but pretty old black and white.

         I'm calling it educational.
