All I do the whole day through is dream of you!
Another favorite. I remember watching this as a kid thinking I wanted a job like that. A professional cake jumper.
This is one of my favorite films — so cheerful — especially the prospect of being a professional cake jumper 😉
Singin’ in the Rain… Pure Happiness: The Good Mornin’ performance, Lina Lamont, The Laughing Cavalier, Donald O’Connor bouncing off the wall in Make ’em Laugh…and All I Do Is Dream Of You. Oh yes!
I love all the images in this post. All the effort that went into the film and what came out seems so effortless and near-perfect. Thanks for the repost, Vickie.
Dearest V
Another thing, people don’t pop out of oversized cakes enough these days.
No wonder the world is going to the dogs!
Yours ever
The Perfumed Dandy
Too true, Dandy, too true! I’m still waiting…
“Here we are, Sunset and Camden!” I still want to sing-song this when I give people a lift somewhere but that only worked when I actually lived in LA (where people might know what in the world I was talking about and where there was a Sunset and Camden). Thanks for sharing these reminders of a great moment in a great film.
A favorite movie and a favorite sequence, “Here we are, Sunset and Camden!” — much better than my aunt’s syncopated Pi-co and Se-pullllll-ve-da !
“Well, if it isn’t Ethel Barrymore!” Best line of the film.
The wardrobe continuity book is fascinating. It looks really organized, which it would have to be. As a person who loves organization and organizing, this gives me a little thrill. I’m serious!
Reblogged this on O LADO ESCURO DA LUA.
Where did you find the costume design book? Would love to see more design pages… Looks just like my jewelry design work book.
