Nevertheless, overall the selections are very clever and they were great fun to read through so “Vote Up!” However if I wished to choose a few movies that, for me, MOST invoke the SPIRIT of Valentine’s Day they would be, among the dramas Hanks’ Philadelphia, his Sleepless in Seattle. Ronald Colman and Greer Garson in Random Harvest, Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara in Carol; and among the musicals Harrison/Hepburn’s My Fair Myrna and Guys and Dolls [haughty, puritanical Salvation Army lass falls for low-life gambler] from which this song has long been in my own musical collection-
Your eyes are the eyes of a woman in love
And though how they give you away
Why try to deny your a woman in love
When I know very well would I see
I see no moon in the sky
Ever lent such a glow
Some flame deep within made them shine
Those eyes are the eyes of a woman in love
And may they gaze ever more into mine
Crazily gaze ever more into mine
[Sorry for enjoying that Mr Hirschhorn. Brando’s screen rendition was admittedly not up to the standard of Frankie Laine’s record of the song; just as Kelly and Astaire, however much you drool over them, could never sing the way that Bing, Frank, Dino, Doris, Deanna,Barbra Streisand, Lanza in film or Caruso and Gigli in opera, and John McCormack in concert could. Anyway full marks for using his own voice; he would have attempted ANYTHING IN thge 1950s, unlikE some others whom you admire who forever stayed within a ‘comfort zone’]
If to mark today one focused on ‘romance’ as an emotion rather than listing just “wedding” films, it strikes me that one could well include almost every Hollywood Heyday movie that the likes of Gable, Power, Flynn [and Randy with his ‘Child Brides’] etc ever made.
That’s because the central message of those films seemed to be, in my perception, that the carnage that Adolf and his gang were engaging in worldwide, and all the other serious problems mankind was facing in the thirties and forties didn’t really matter if the Hollywood hero “Got the girl.” Escapism, true; but disproportionally so in my opinion.
Indeed I can recall watching even Ronnie Reagan boasting in the formal debates during his 1980 presidential campaign that in his movies “I always got the girl!”
This morning when I saw this page flagged up, and before I even looked at its contents, I thought to myself “I bet you that probably that crafty ole Work Horse fella is exploiting Valentine’s Day as an excuse to mention yet again one or two of those awful Cary Grant so-called “screwball” comedies. And so it was: Mr Leach’s mundane Philly Story topped the bill, well above the much more entertaining musical version, High Society.
