The Band Wagon (1953) with Fred & Cyd
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jun 18, 2020
Some may recall the opening titles of Top Hat (1935). They play over a man’s hat only for the head under it to move as the names subside, and we find Fred Astaire under its brim in his coat and tails. Now, well nigh 20 years later, the same imagery is being called upon. There’s an aucti read more

Why I never joined The Band Wagon...
Classic Reel Girl Posted by BG Voita on Jan 18, 2015
When I signed up to write an anti-Band Wagon post, I was a little nervous. Images of angry dancing gods Down to Earth-style floated in my head. How dare I speak badly about the pairing of two dancing greats: Cyd Charisse and Fred Astaire.

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Aug 7, 2014
Going into this film I must admit that despite hearing good things, I had zero expectations. I must say I was pleasantly surprised by this Minnelli musical, because it was a deft and often beautiful production. Channeling the same vein as Singin’ in the Rain and The Red Shoes, this film is a s read more

The MGM Blogathon All Aboard The Band Wagon Nothing in this world fills me with more unadulterated joy than a well made musical. Every since I was a wee-little lady I wanted nothing more to live in a Technicolor world, where everyone’s problems could be confronted and resolved with a concis read more

Movie Classics Posted by Judy on Mar 16, 2013
Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse There’s a Western musical number in one of Fred Astaire’s least-known films, Let’s Dance (1950), where a TV set is seen on the wall, showing a cowboy film.
