Summer Stock - The Smell of Greasepaint (Part 7)
Thank you for joining us on our tractor as we plow through the Gene Kelly/Judy Garland homage to the backyard musicals: MGM’s Summer Stock.
As the plot chugs along, Nate and I really begin to feel the heat coming off the Judy-Gene screen pairing (are they REALLY kissing? Why the strange jump cut mid-kiss?) and we get to smell some greasepaint and do a little dancing on newspapers. Why is this movie so much fun???
And please check out the fantastic book "C'mon, GetHappy: The Making of Summer Stock" by David Fantle & Tom Johnson. It helped us tremendously in our research for these episodes.
Thanks for listening!
