They don't make-em like they used to!

Terrific dancing and showmanship from Cagney and Hope.

Just amazing. Makes me want to go watch one of my favorite movies of ALL TIME - Singing in the Rain. I think I know what we'll be doing today on Stud's first day of spring break.... ;-)

Well imagine that...they use talent to entertain people?
Where is the foul language? Naked women? Rude behavior?

Great clip, clippy. :)

bob hope was one of my favorites growing up. my youngest sister and i always had a plan to write to him and ask him for money, as we were poor as church mice. it was a running joke between us. i am a movie fan of those oldies... the black n white ones, i try to catch them when they come on the movie channel. bob hope always made me smile, as he always looked like he was up to something.

I love the classics. The Husband and I will watch Turner Classic Movies on a Sunday afternoon and wistfully gaze at the actors. Everyone is dressed well (dresses and suits), all the men are wearing hats, the women all wear gloves, and everyone is polite. Of course, everyone is also smoking and drinking several martinis at lunch, and no one wears a seatbelt, but who's keeping tabs, right?
