Seeing Mom again
I was glad to see my mother at work at MGM two years before I was born. I am 73 years old.Mother was an MGM starlet in 1934. I had not been able to find a copy of this short after it was seen in part on TCM. I wrote TCM and searched the IMDB to no avail.And then this collection appeared! It fills the bill and is probably also appreciated by William Powell and Myrna Loy fans as well.Mother stars in the short musical film "Dancing on the Ceiling." She plays the dentist. What is significant about this film is that it may have been the precursor to the ceiling dancing film done by Fred Astiare.This short is not associated with the Lionel Richie, Frank Sinatra or Ella Fitzgerald works of the same name done more recently.I am still looking for a copy of the first MGM Technicolor musical short which starred Mother titled "Gypsy."
