Fred Astaire Rita Hayworth You Were Never Lovelier

You Were Never Lovelier (Columbia Pictures) is a 1942 Hollywood musical comedy film, set in Buenos Aires. It starred Fred Astaire, Rita Hayworth, Adolphe Menjou and Xavier Cugat, with music by Jerome Kern and lyrics by Johnny Mercer. The film was directed by William A. Seiter.
Fred Astaire&Rita Hayworth-You were never lovelier

The title song from movie classic "You were never lovelier" with Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth from 1942.
This, the second of Astaire's outings with Hayworth, avoids wartime themes, and benefits from lavish production values – a consequence of the box-office success of the earthier You'll Never Get Rich. Kern here created a memorable standard with "I'm Old Fashioned", and there is a faultless trio of classic dance routines. Initially, Kern was unhappy about the selection of Cugat and his orchestra; however, when production was complete, he was so pleased with the band's performance that he presented him with a silver baton. Although Hayworth had a fine voice, Harry Cohn insisted on her singing being dubbed throughout by Nan Wynn.
Fred Astaire Dance Solo in "You Were Never Lovelier"

The film follows the usual conventions established by Astaire in his earlier musicals, such as an anti-romantic first meeting between the two leads, a virtuoso dance solo for Astaire, a playful dance duet and a romantic dance duet.
Dance director was Val Raset, the one and only time he collaborated with Astaire, and his choreographic input into the film is unclear. According to Astaire’s biography, he worked out all the numbers with Hayworth while rehearsing above a funeral parlour. Although the setting is a Latin one, Kern felt unable to compose in this style, but Astaire was determined to continue his exploration of Latin dance, which he did with the help of special arrangements by Cugat and Murphy, and the inspiration provided by the enthusiastic and talented Hayworth. This became an important counterbalance to Kern’s tendency to compose sweet, occasionally saccharine, melodies. Hayworth's performance here establishes her claim as one of Astaire’s foremost dance partners.
"Chiu Chiu": Cugat’s band performs this showpiece samba with music and lyrics by Nicanor Molinare in front of Astaire.
"Dearly Beloved": Kern’s ballad became a major hit for Astaire – who sings it here, and it was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song. Shortly after, Hayworth reprises the song with a brief but erotic dance, alone in her bedroom.
"Audition Dance": "One of my best solos" was Astaire's verdict on his first solo routine on the theme of Latin dance, celebrated for its comic inventiveness and dexterity. Astaire’s number also inspired Jerome Robbins’ solo Latin dance in the latter’s first ballet Fancy Free, created in 1944.
"I'm Old Fashioned": A Kern melody, with Mercer’s lyrics mimed by Hayworth, inspires Astaire’s second Latin romantic partnered dance, and one of his best known. This dance was chosen by Jerome Robbins as the centerpiece to his ballet of the same name, created by him for the New York City Ballet in 1983, as a tribute to Astaire.
"The Shorty George": A synthesis of American Swing or Jive, and virtuoso tap dancing by Astaire and Hayworth, both in top form and exuding a sense of fun in an arrangement by Lyle "Spud" Murphy. The title refers to a popular dance step of the time, attributed to George "Shorty" Snowdon a champion African-American dancer at Harlem’s Savoy Ballroom and reputed inventor of the Lindy Hop or Jitterbug dance styles. Here, as in the "Pick Yourself Up" and "Bojangles of Harlem" numbers from Swing Time, Kern belied his claim that he couldn't write in the Swing style.
"Wedding in the Spring": Overly sweet and soppy number performed tongue-in-cheek by Cugat’s band.
"You Were Never Lovelier": A Kern melody, sung by Astaire to Hayworth, with a celebratory dance reprise at the film’s end, initiated by an armour-suited Astaire falling off a horse, and shedding his knight’s armour, only to reveal himself in white tie and tails. According to Astaire, the original dance number that followed the song was cut from the film after the preview as the studio felt it "held up the story".
"These Orchids": Cugat's band provides an orchestral serenade in rumba style to Hayworth outside her bedroom window with this Kern melody. info (c) wikipedia.org

Rita Hayworth fred astaire you ll never get rich

You'll Never Get Rich (Columbia Pictures) is a 1941 Hollywood musical comedy film with a wartime theme starring Fred Astaire, Rita Hayworth, Robert Benchley, Cliff Nazarro, with music and lyrics by Cole Porter. The film was directed by Sidney Lanfield.
This was Hayworth's first starring role in a big budgeted film from her home studio Columbia Pictures.
Fred Astaire - You'll Never Get Rich

While the film was in production Life Magazine put her on its cover, and featured inside a photo of Hayworth kneeling on a bed in a nightgown, which soon became one of the most widely distributed pin-ups of all time. Hayworth, a talented and sensual dancer of astonishing natural grace and beauty, cooperated enthusiastically with Astaire's intense rehearsal habits, and was later to remark: "I guess the only jewels in my life are the pictures I made with Fred Astaire". The picture was very successful at the box office, turning Hayworth into a major star, and provided a welcome boost to Astaire who felt his career had flagged since breaking with Ginger Rogers.
Astaire & Rita Hayworth

One of the film's songs, Since I Kissed My Baby Goodbye, was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song.
Dance director was Robert Alton, Astaire's second-most-frequent choreographic collaborator after Hermes Pan. As Astaire generally choreographed his own and his partner's routines, Alton concentrated on the choruses. The choreography explores a diverse range of musical rhythms some of which are artfully juxtaposed in Cole Porter's score.
Rehearsal Duet: Short but virtuosic tap number with Astaire and Hayworth dancing side by side.
"Boogie Barcarolle": Porter number which, not unlike Robert Russell Bennett's Waltz In Swing Time from Swing Time, overlays two very different musical rhythms. Astaire leads the chorus which includes Hayworth in an exhilarating and, for Astaire, unusual routine.
"Shootin' The Works For Uncle Sam": Song and dance number where Astaire and chorus march through a train station. The choreography expresses the notion that Broadway-style dance rehearsals and army camp drills have much in common. The music and dance contrast march and jazz rhythms.
"Since I Kissed My Baby Goodbye": Haunting and melancholy Porter standard introduced by the Four Tones - an African-American quartet (lead singer Lucius "Dusty" Brooks, Leon Buck, Rudolph Hunter, and John Porter) - followed by a short Astaire solo, and all executed in the unrealistic - for its time - setting of an unsegregated guard house. Astaire also made a successful recording of this number with Decca in September 1941, backed in this instance by the Delta Rhythm Boys.
"March Milastaire (A-Stairable Rag)": Another Porter number contrasting march and jazz rhythms, danced in a "tour de force" tap solo by Astaire, who expresses his sudden joy of being in love by using his taps to make as much noise as possible. This time the purely instrumental African-American backing group comprised the twenty-year-old Chico Hamilton on drums, Buddy Collette (clarinet), Red Mack (trumpet), Alfred Grant (guitar) and Joe Comfort (jug).
"So Near and Yet So Far": Porter's rumba melody is set to lyrics (sung by Astaire), which sum up the nature of Hayworth's irresistible allure. Astaire, clearly inspired by Hayworth's exceptional Latin dance pedigree, delivers his first on-screen synthesis of Latin-American and ballroom dance steps in a celebrated romantic partnering.
"The Wedding Cake Walk": Liltin' Martha Tilton's rendition of this cheerful song is followed by a routine involving Astaire, Hayworth and a large chorus, the former pair ending up dancing on a wedding cake in the shape of a tank. info (c) wikipedia.org

Sabrina movie clips watch on line

Classic movie starring Audrey Hepburn and William Holden. This is one of my all time favorites and I sincerely hope that you'll like it too.
Sabrina Fairchild (Hepburn) is the young daughter of the Larrabee family's chauffeur, Thomas (John Williams), and has been in love with David Larrabee (Holden) all her life. David is an oft-married, idle playboy, crazy for women, who has never noticed Sabrina, much to her and the staff's dismay. Sabrina then attends culinary school in Paris and returns as an attractive and sophisticated woman. David, after initially not recognizing her, is quickly drawn to her. David's workaholic older brother Linus (Bogart) sees this and fears that David's imminent wedding with a very rich woman may be endangered. If the wedding were to be canceled, so would a great corporate deal with the bride's family. So Linus tries to redirect Sabrina's affections to himself and in the process, also falls in love with her.
The ending contains Sabrina leaving for Paris on a boat, after Linus has told her to leave and never come back. In a board meeting, realizing his mistake, he manages to get on the boat, and they sail away together to Paris.
Audrey Hepburn La Vie En Rose

In this film Hepburn sings "La vie en rose" (French for "Life in Pink"), the signature song of French singer Édith Piaf - which had been highly popular in the English-speaking world as well as in France, since Piaf came out with it in 1946. The occasion for Hepburn to sing it is at the episode of Sabrina's return from Paris, when she is far more assertive than before setting out, and her life does turn more rosy.
In 1995, a remake of Sabrina was produced, starring Harrison Ford, Julia Ormond and Greg Kinnear in the roles originally played by Bogart, Hepburn and Holden, respectively. info (c) wikipedia.org

Movie Trailer: Airport: 1970

Airport movie plot.
This film was based on the best-selling novel by Arthur Hailey. With considerable attention to the details of day-to-day airport and airline operations, the plot of the movie concerns the response to both a paralyzing snowstorm and to an attempt to blow up an airliner. Demolition expert D.O. Guerrero (Van Heflin), down on his luck and with a history of mental illness, purchases a life insurance policy with the intent to commit suicide by blowing up a Rome-bound Boeing 707 Intercontinental jet from a snowbound Chicago airport. He plans to do this while he is on board using a self-made bomb hidden inside an attache case, while in flight over the Atlantic Ocean. Guerrero does this in the hope that his wife, Inez (Maureen Stapleton) will benefit from the insurance money. The explosion causes explosive decompression but only Guerrero is sucked out of the plane. The plane returns to Chicago where it makes a successful emergency landing – all while the airport is in the midst of a snowstorm with one runway closed from a stuck-in-the-snow airliner.
In the movie, Dean Martin who plays checkride pilot Vernon Demarest, calls into Cleveland Center on his way to Chicago. Cleveland, Ohio Cleveland Center is a reference to the ARTCC or Air Route Traffic Control Center in Oberlin, Ohio. This center is the busiest control centers because of air traffic.
Airport Movie Title Sequence

The film is characterized by ensemble acting in which many different personal stories intertwine, and through emphasis on the decisions which must be made minute-by-minute by the airport staff.
Airport is a 1970 film based on the 1968 Arthur Hailey novel of the same name. This film, which earned over $100,000,000 at the box office, focuses on an airport manager trying to keep his airport open during a snowstorm, while a suicidal bomber plots to blow up a Boeing 707 in flight. The film cost $10 million to produce.
Airport paved the way for the disaster film genre and established some of the conventions of that genre.
The movie was written for the screen and directed by George Seaton. Seaton was assisted by Henry Hathaway, and Ernest Laszlo photographed it in 70 mm Todd-AO. It was the last film scored by Alfred Newman before his death.
This story takes place at the fictional Chicago-area Lincoln International Airport.
The success of Airport spawned three sequels, the first two of which were box office hits.
Airport 1975
Airport '77
The Concorde...Airport '79
The one actor appearing in all four "Airport" films was George Kennedy in recurring role of Joe Patroni. Patroni's character evolves over the series, however, and he goes from a chief mechanic in Airport to a Vice President of Operations in Airport 1975, a consultant in Airport '77, and an experienced pilot in The Concorde...Airport '79.

My big fat greek wedding movie Plot :
The movie is centered on Fotoula Toula Portokalos, a Greek-American woman Nia Vardalos, who also wrote the script, who falls in love with a WASP, Ian Miller played by John Corbett. The movie also examines the protagonist's relationship with her family, with their cultural heritage and value system, which is sometimes rocky but ends with mutual appreciation.
Toula is going through an early midlife crisis. At thirty, she is the only woman in her family who has failed in Greek terms, her family expects her to marry a Greek, have Greek babies and feed everyone. Because of her failure as a Greek woman, Toula is stuck running the family business, a restaurant, Dancing Zorba's. In contrast to her "perfect" sister, Athena Stavroula Logothettis, Toula is a frumpy, cynical character who can barely articulate her desires and merely wishes for happiness. Now thirty, she fears she's doomed to be stuck with her life as it is.

At the restaurant, she encounters Ian Miller - John Corbett, a school teacher. His presence reminds her of the nearby city college, which she's considered for some time, secretly looking at their catalogs. With mom Maria's - Lainie Kazan help, she talks her father Gus - Michael Constantine into letting her sign up for computer classes, which she says she can use to help improve the business. Now caring more about her appearance, she abandons her unflattering eyeglasses for contact lenses and begins to wear makeup and attractive dresses. A bulletin at the school announces a seminar for computer systems related to travel agencies. Toula's Aunt Voula runs such an agency, and Toula decides to change jobs to work for her aunt. With her aunt and mother, she engages in an intricate scheme to convince her father that it was "his" idea to allow her to work for the travel agency so he will allow Toula to leave the restaurant business.

Toula feels much better in her new job, especially when she notices Ian hanging around looking at her through the window. They finally introduce themselves and go out for dinner. Ian at first does not recognize that she is the once-frumpy waitress from Zorba's, but even when he does, he tells Toula he wishes to spend time with her.

The affair quickly becomes a passionate whirlwind courtship which Toula keeps secret from her family until some weeks later. Toula's cousin Nikki warns Toula that a nosy neighbor saw her kissing Ian and told the family. Gus throws a fit because Ian is "xenos", a foreigner. Ian politely asks permission to continue seeing her, but Gus stubbornly refuses. Toula and Ian still manage to visit his apartment, where their relationship becomes more intimate. Toula meets Ian's upper-middle class, WASP parents for the first time, who are as reserved as her family is demonstrative.

Ian proposes, she accepts, and Gus is ultimately forced to accept their relationship. Ian readily agrees to convert to the Greek Orthodox faith in order to be worthy of Toula, and is baptized in traditional fashion. iAt the family's Easter festival, Ian confesses he is a vegetarian — a brief crisis for the entire family ensues — and he has a lot of trouble pronouncing Greek words. He tries to say Khristos Anesti - Christ is risen, and it comes out Cheese straws are nasty. This becomes a popular running gag with Toula's younger brother Nick - Louis Mandylor. When Ian asks how to say "thank you" to Toula's mom Maria, Nick gives him the words "Oréa viziá," — "Nice boobs!". But Maria slaps Nick, not Ian, knowing full well who taught him.

As the year passes, the wedding planning hits snag after snag as Toula's relatives "helpfully" interfere. Toula is horrified to learn that her parents invited the entire family to a "quiet" dinner, and the Millers, unused to such cultural fervor, are woefully overwhelmed. They brought a Bundt cake, but Maria is bemused by the hole and puts a potted flower in the middle.

Meanwhile, Ian wants to invite the guests inside, and warily consults Nick. After confirming the words with cousin Angelo - Joey Fatone, Ian calls out "I have three testicles". Gus still doesn't see how the relationship can work out, but others in the family are encouraging; in a touching scene, Yiayia Gus' mother -Bess Meisler shows Toula some of her private treasures, including pictures of herself as a girl and her stefana , which she gives Toula to wear. Nick secretly comes to Toula to confide that her courage in changing her life has inspired him to do likewise, and he plans to attend the city college to study art.

The wedding day dawns with liveliness and hysteria. Toula is horrified to find she has a stress zit, but covers it with foundation. The traditional wedding itself is quiet, dignified, and goes without a hitch. Everyone goes to the reception, and the Millers, fortified with many glasses of ouzo, begin to enjoy the Greek partying lifestyle. Gus gives a speech, in which he analyzes the name "Miller" as having come from the Greek "milo", meaning "apple". He then declares that, since his own last name "Portokalos" means "orange", the two families are "...apples and oranges. We're different but, in the end, we're all fruit". During the final scene where many of the party goers engage in a group dance, Aunt Voula watches Ian dancing with Toula and declares with quiet passion, "...he Looks Greek!"

According to Greek tradition, Gus and Maria have bought a gift for the young couple: a house right next door to them. The film's epilogue shows the Millers' life a few years later; they have a daughter named Paris, who would rather attend Girl Scouts than Greek school, but Toula promises the child that she can marry anyone she chooses. info (c) wikipedia.org

the flatliners movie review life and death medical students

Flatliners is a 1990 movie starring Kiefer Sutherland, Julia Roberts, Kevin Bacon, William Baldwin and Oliver Platt as medical students experimenting with near-death experiences. The movie is directed by Joel Schumacher.
Flatliners movie Cast:
Kiefer Sutherland - Nelson Wright
Julia Roberts - Rachel Mannus
Kevin Bacon - David Labraccio
William Baldwin - Joe Hurley
Oliver Platt - Randy Steckle
Kimberly Scott - Winnie Hicks
Joshua Rudoy - Billy Mahoney
Benjamin Mouton - Rachel's Father

Flatliners - 1990 Trailer

The movie opens with a shot of Nelson (Kiefer Sutherland), a medical student, saying, "Today is a good day to die." The movie then moves on to explain this statement as Nelson tries to convince Joe (William Baldwin), David (Kevin Bacon), Randy (Oliver Platt), and Rachel (Julia Roberts), four of his classmates, to help him conduct a dangerous experiment: Nelson wishes to experience clinical death for one minute before being brought back to life by emergency measures, saying he wants to see if there is anything beyond death. Nelson's classmates are extremely apprehensive about the idea, but after much arguing, the five students decide to go ahead with the experiment. Nelson is then "flatlined," and his experience in the "afterlife" is interspersed on-screen with his classmates' attempts to bring him back to life. Despite some difficulty, they are able to successfully resuscitate him. Describing later what he felt, Nelson says, "You can't break it down into specifics, but there is something there. It's comforting."

The success of the experiment prompts the others to do the same, each for their own reasons. Joe goes next, looking for little more than fame, and agrees with Nelson that there is post-death activity. David then argues that, as the atheist in the group and the experiment's control, he should go next. After David also experiences things that he cannot ascribe to his previous scientific viewpoint, Rachel insists on being the next one to be put under.

Almost immediately after each experiment, however, each participant starts to experience strange phenomena. Nelson sees a dog and little boy, who quickly progress from just appearing before him to stalking and assaulting him. Joe, an out of control playboy despite being engaged, starts seeing visions in TV sets of women whom he secretly videotaped while having sex with them. On a subway train, David suddenly sees a little girl who calls his name, insults him with schoolyard taunts, and then disappears. Nelson and Joe remain silent about what has happened to them, but during Rachel's experiment, David speaks up about his strange experiences. Eventually, he convinces the others to abort Rachel's experiment, but an electrical short almost prevents them from bringing her back.

David then explains what is happening to him: he remembers the little girl that is appearing to him as a girl that he bullied in school named Winnie Hicks. This prompts Joe to speak up about his experiences as well. David then prods Nelson to do the same. Nelson complies and identifies his assailant as Billy Mahoney (Joshua Rudoy), a kid he used to pick on, but his description of the injuries to his face get Randy's attention, as that cannot be mere hallucination. Randy argues that what the others have said is impossible, but Nelson replies that they have experienced death and are, therefore, in uncharted territory. Nelson asserts, "Somehow we brought our sins back physically,... and they're pissed." David and the others then chastise Nelson for not speaking up sooner, as that equated to an unethical withholding of findings.
The team then moves on to dealing with what they've unleashed. After getting surrounded by ghosts of women using the same vacuous pickup lines on him that he used on them, Joe finds his fiancé Anne (Hope Davis) in his apartment. She reveals that she found his videotapes, and she is therefore leaving him; not for cheating on her, but for so cruelly violating the trust of so many women. Rachel is haunted by visions of her father, who committed suicide when she was 4. Nelson attempts to confront Billy Mahoney head-on, only to be beaten down once again.
David, trying a different approach, finds where Winnie Hicks is currently living, and, accompanied by Nelson, drives out to ask for her forgiveness. At first Winnie tries to be polite, but she reveals that she has tried to forget about what happened when they were children, and she doesn't appreciate David coming and reopening those wounds. David continues trying to apologize, but, realizing that he's now just making the situation worse, he leaves. As he is going, though, Winnie calls to him, and with a tear in her eye, says, "Thank you." While this is happening, Nelson, who was waiting in the car, is once more attacked by Billy Mahoney. When David arrives, all he sees is Nelson alone on the floor struggling, and he snaps a terrified Nelson out of it.
When Nelson and David get back to town, Rachel, who saw another vision of her father in class, reveals to the others what is happening to her and sarcastically thanks Nelson for the "nightmare." An argument between the five then erupts. David finally calms everyone down and goes to take care of Rachel while instructing Joe and Randy to help Nelson find Billy Mahoney. David tries to console Rachel, and they eventually make love off-screen.
Nelson takes Randy and Joe to a cemetery. It is explained, through a flashback, that Nelson accidentally killed Billy while bullying him in school. Nelson becomes angry, screaming at the tombstone, "I thought I paid my dues!" He then says that David is right, that he can still make amends. Nelson gets in the car and drives off alone. Joe and Randy, having been stranded by Nelson, call David. David rushes out to pick them up, and they figure out what Nelson's plan is.
Meanwhile, Rachel, now alone, finally confronts her father and sees the truth of what happened when she was a child: though she blamed herself all these years for his death, he was actually addicted to heroin. Rachel and her father then have a tearful reconciliation which is interrupted when Nelson calls, apologizing for getting them all involved in the situation. He also admits to Rachel that he is going under one last time - committing suicide - by himself. Nelson rushes to the laboratory where the group has been conducting their experiments, injects himself with potassium, and dies. The others all show up moments later and try to resuscitate Nelson to no avail.
Meanwhile, in the afterworld, Nelson appears, first young and then old, switching places with Billy Mahoney; being killed as Billy was - knocked out of a tree. Finally, after twelve minutes, the team gives up and lets Nelson go. While talking over Nelson's dead body, Rachel says that Nelson told her on the phone that he thought he deserved to die. David angrily disagrees, saying Nelson was just a child who'd made a mistake. David puts the defibrillator paddles to Nelson again, and in the afterworld, Nelson suddenly gets up and is faced by a now smiling Billy. He waves goodbye and walks off into the light as Nelson, hearing voices calling to him, runs the other way. Back on the table, the group has successfully brought Nelson back to life. Nelson then whispers in David's ear, "It wasn't such a good day to die," and thanks them. info (c) wikipedia.org
