Rock Rock Rock! (1956)
Before there was music videos...........
I love this film! The plot is weak, but this film isn't about the plot. It's about music! The music in this film is brilliant! The plot is virtually non-existent, and what plot that exists is wonderfully sitcom-like. Face-it, this movie was made solely for the purpose of show-casing music, But it does very well at it's job. I really don't know what more to say, but let me say this. If you like 50's music, you may like this film. It's a popcorn flick, but a good one. The plot is simple, A girl wants to take a boy to the dance, but cant afford a dress. She comes up with the idea of lending money like a bank, but trouble ensues when the nasty girl she lends the money to, wont give it back. Overall it's a fun popcorn flick!
Somewhere in Dreamland (1935)
I love this charming cartoon
I love this charming cartoon. It starts off sad, with the children poor and starving, wanting a better life. A bunch of shop owners decide to do something, but i will get to that later. They have their dinner, and go to sleep, But what a dream they have! A wonderland of tasty food and fun toys, with stunning animation. The merry-go-round scene has the best animation, With a pseudo-3D look that is amazing. Another wonderful scene is where they go to the popcorn field, with popcorn falling from the sky! The dream continues, but then the dream ends, with the children back poor again. But then something amazing happens, Those shop owners i was talking about hold a feast for the children, making them happy! I really love this cartoon, and I'm glad i have it on DVD, as i can watch it again and again.
Design for Dreaming (1956)
I loved it!
i simply love this short film. It' about a woman who loves cars, who dreams about going to a futuristic car show, with a masked man. I love most of the 50's cars, and i love the part where they are in a kitchen, and we see all sorts of cool gadgets. Then she has her relaxing time, and takes out her wonderful cake, which is very amusing, and then they have a futuristic dance. Then they show a fabulous selection of cars and fashion, I love the cars and I love the fashion. Then they travel on a futuristic road, and we see the city of the future. I love the songs in this film, and I watch it often. I think that anyone who gets the chance should watch this film, as it's lots of fun. I think it's in the public domain, but I'm not sure. I give it 8 out of 10.
The Bob Cummings Show (1955)
i love that show!
I was seeing what was on channel 31 melbourne Australia (similar to what Americans call an "independent station") , and i was surprised to see that they re-run classic shows. i was Curious, so i decided to start watching them. i have just finished watching "love that bob", and i must say it's one of the best shows i have ever seen. I've always wanted to see more 50's television shows, which are rarely shown on tv1 (similar to "TV land",we don't get "tv land" in Australia) or fox classics (both of which show too many 90's shows), and I'm glad i found out that channel 31 has classic shows. I found this show to be very funny, much better than the crap on TV today. i wish they would bring back more classic shows, but as channel 31 is not a re-run channel (it mostly shows local programming, which i should watch more of too), i might as well hope that tv1 or fox classics start to show more 50's shows.
8 out of 10
