Whoopee! 1930

Oh .... So.... Dra.... MATIC!

This is my first Eddie Cantor movie and I am IN LOVE!! What a DRAMATIC, ridiculous movie. This movie had more costume changes than Imelda Marcos had shoes!!

It was full of wistful glances, tremolo voices, eye rolling and melodramatic, dislocated movements. It...was...so...full...of....Love...for you...no for you....no....for YOU!

Watch it! Be amazed! Laugh at it's theatrics and DRAMA! Enjoy the pure essence of 1930's technicolor film making...at...it's .....FINEST!!

"Another bride Another June
Another sunny honey moon
another season, another reason
for makin' whoopie

Alot of shoes, alot of rice
the groom is nervous. he answers twice
its so Killin that he's so willin'
To make whoopee

Picture a little love nest
down where the roses cling
picture the same sweet love nest
Think what a year can bring

He's washing dishes and baby cloths
He's so ambitious he even sows
but don't forget folks thats what you get folks
for makein whoopee

Another year or maybe less
what's this I hear? Well you can't you guess
She feels neglected and he's suspected
of makin' whoopee

She sits alone most every night
He doesn't phone her he doesn't write
he says he's busy but she say's "is he?"
He's makin' whoopee

He doesn't make much money
only five thousand per
some judge who thinks he's funny
says you'll pay six to her

he says now judge suppose i fail
the judge says budge right into jail
you better keep her i think it's cheeper
then makeing whoopee

you better keep her
I know it's cheaper than makin' whoopee "

The Last Time I Saw Paris 1955

Elizabeth Taylor
Eva Gabor
Donna Reed

If you want to cry tonight watch "The Last Time I Saw Paris" This is a tragic story, but a real story. One that might even speak to you personally. For some unfortunately literally for others only in a parabolic way.

The honesty of emotion; the love of life and recklessness, the love of money, and the loss of everything brings these characters absolutely to their knees. Only for some, it is too late to change.

I am reminded of the Nephites in 3 Nephi in The Book of Mormon. When they forgot God, they lost EVERYTHING. When they sought him again, old things were restored but tragedy does leave scars.

I love the portrayal of these human failings in this movie. It was a moving experience to watch it.
