“Moses Supposes” was the original song, for anyone curious.
Thank you. I avoided saying that because I am a font of useless trivia on that film and had to restrain myself.
You thought you had to restrain yourself, but you… supposed erroneously.
Don’t make me come over there with my “Gene Kelley had a high fever when performing the famous Singin’ in the Rain scene and the rain was made visible by adding milk, making the whole place stink for days” facts. Because I’ll do it.
No trivia about that film is useless!
Well, it’s a movie about making movies, I think that choice is fitting.
Yep. When you hear Jimmy Durante’s version of Singin’ in the Rain 20 years earlier in Speak Easily after seeing the movie with that title first, it’s super weird.
OMG it’s a Buster Keaton film too!!
I know what my wife and I are watching tonight.
It’s not terrific, but it’s fun.
Demonstrating that the arrangement, choreography, and singing are what make the movie a classic.
It’s like the B Minor Mass in that way.
