I love the fifteis-ness of the singing in "I'll Cry tomorrow", and there are countless films where period was attempted, but not aurally--Funny Girl and Dramgirls (the most recent example) come to mind. Streisand is fabulous, but nothing like Fanny Brice (whose Second Hand Rose makes Streisand sound like she's from the Upper East Side), and nothing in the sixties Criticlasmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942568777607340234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640084.post-62072237640161235332007-11-12T11:13:00.000-05:002007-11-12T11:13:00.000-05:00I was impressed by director Webb's dedication to a...I was impressed by director Webb's dedication to achieving an authentic period look in "Pete Kelly's Blues". I think it went beyond, say, "Love Me or Leave Me" or "Singin' in the Rain". And certainly way beyond most 50's films set in the 20's (i.e. "Tea for Two"). Musically speaking, I'd say the band's instrumental pieces also sound pretty authentic However, it must be said that the vocals by CanadianKenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12240756292929779255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640084.post-79782006889765938732007-11-12T08:58:00.000-05:002007-11-12T08:58:00.000-05:00I think the frustration over the accretive noms/wi...I think the frustration over the accretive noms/wins stems mostly from the general randomness of the Academy voters. It's a broad, opaque constituency and there's a recurrent disconnect between the Academy's official party line and the actual voting behavior of Academy voters.<BR/><BR/>Basically, the Academy doesn't want to be seen as a popularity contest but that doesn't stop Academy voters StinkyLuluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11765533714740641857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640084.post-40001568643473478892007-11-12T02:13:00.000-05:002007-11-12T02:13:00.000-05:00I've always loved the fact one of my favorite chan...I've always loved the fact one of my favorite chanteuses was an Oscar nominee, even if I can't remember much about <I>Pete Kelly's Blues</I>. I believe Lee was considered a front-runner to actually win that year, and it would've been interesting to see how she may have progressed as an actress if she'd taken the prize, as I'm sure more roles would have been offered Lee with an Oscar to her creditVertigo's Psychohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17701774152300870403noreply@blogger.com
