Just a slice of what old Hollywood may have been like

Rating: 7/10 (30 July 2016)

That lingo from the 40's, so odd yet familiar. Where did that ever come from? But I love it. It's like hearing Rosalind Russell speak again. Scarlett Johansson had the accent down pat.
The Ester Williams like set was no doubt a difficult shoot. It was good, but it didn't quite live up to the memory of the original bathing suit goddess from the 40's. Where's Ricardo Montalban when you need him.
What did make the grade and in fact surpass it was the throw back to the 40's song and tap dance routine. Fred Astaire would be proud. They outdid themselves on that one. All the timing and dance moves were down to a tee. I could watch just that over and over again. And no skirts in this one at all, just boys in tight sailor whites.
One more thing that was impressive were, now don't roll your eyes, the rope tricks. Well OK, roll your eyes. Cowboy actors from the 30's & 40's were famous for their riding and roping. There was some of that turn your head riding going on, but the rope tricks were just like Will Rogers had been the instructor.
All in all, if you are in love with both sides of Old Hollywood, the in front of the camera as well as behind it, I think you'll enjoy this step back in time.
