In this number one can see Judy is staring to transition into a more powerful belting singing that she enveloped in the 50s and the rest of her stellar career, She sang louder and vibrato was getting more superb!! She always sang sweet ballads but we are so lucky to hear the mature Judy singing style that was emotionally devastating!
Throughout the Caribbean and vicinity, Macocco leaves a flaming trail of masculinity, And suddenly I feel I gotta big affinity, And I'm LOCOOOOOOOOOOOO! For Mack...Mack...Mack the Black MACOCCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
the Pirate was the only film of Judy Garland's during her Metro years that they said barely broke even. I remember watching it as a 4th grader on the 4:30 movie back in the early 1980s and loved it. I agree that as a film the Pirate was ahead of its time. Also, note that the Lunt-Fontaine play version did not fare well on the Broadway stage. This was the first film to be released after Judy's pregnancy hiatus with Liza. Judy's adult sound belt was very much developing and evident in this number and has a different sound and feel to it than her prepregnancy more laid-back belt. This could be something that the audience needed a little time to adjust to. Cole Porter's music always had more of a Theater belt em to the back row (which is why Merman always did well with Cole's music) quality. This was something Judy probably enjoyed but demanded more of her vocally. I am glad at this point in MGM technological sound that the equipment was better able to handle a much fuller Judy belt. If you listen to some of the mid-1930s stuff (which I had bought many of her records back in the 1980s) the sound tech sometimes would either fizzle, not really capture the sound properly or sometimes be a little scratchy. This sounds very much like the recording that I loved from a double album MGM set of The Pirate and Till the Clouds Roll by.
This has always been one of my favorite Judy numbers and Judy films. Gene never looked sexier, and Judy showed a definite flair for sophisticated comedy. That gorgeous closeup of her when she sings "Evening star, """ is amazing. The sound of the song sounds awesome! Thanks for doing this for all Judy and Gene fans!
Judy Garland was Ridiculously and Overwhelmingly Beautiful, Lovely, Fair, Stunning, Glamorous, Elegant, Alluring, Sublime, Breathtaking, Radiant and Divine and Magnificent and Glorious and Ethereal and Sexy and Luminous and Drop Dead Gorgeous Beyond all reasons and words.
I agree 100%. It bothers me that she never appreciated her own beauty and self worth. Many of her problems can be traced to that way of thinking. Love you, Judy.❤️
Judy Garland!! The Greatest Female Entertainer Ever!! Love her all my days!! No woman depicts being in love like her!! Continue RIHP Empress!!! 💘 ☠ 🎶 👢 😍 RIHP to the Great Singer, Dancer Gene Kelly!!
Great to see and hear Judy Garland in stereo. I am waiting for them to release Annie Get Your Gun on Bluray and remixed in 5.1 audio. I have the soundtrack on CD and most songs were converted in stereo but the movie is in mono on DVD.
Audio tremendous. Thanks for posting this. I've always had mixed feelings about this as a production number... there's a somewhat chaotic about the dancers/extras, and an almost cramped aspect that's strange and unusual for MGM. But, as Judy says, "Don't call me Pure Soul. It irritates me."
Absolutely thrilling to hear the orchestra and choral arrangements so clearly. Another orchestral tour de force in The Pirate is Niña (especially the bolero section). Thanks for this!
Gene was very sexy (especially that “pole” dance 😉) but I thought the ending of this movie was weak. I would’ve preferred if Gene was actually a pirate, misleading everyone, including the audience, the whole film.
Beautiful Judy Garland and Handsome Gene Kelly! Perfect Movie Magic Chemistry! Brilliant Song and Dance Number!
Judy Garland and Gene Kelly are my favorite actors,they were in The Pirate,Summer Stock,For Me and My Gal and Ziegfeld Follies
The legendary, adorable, very pretty and extremely talented Judy Garland performs this classic and wonderful song perfectly! This is pure movie magic!
I can’t believe that this movie flopped at the box office! Judy was never prettier or funnier in this film.
Judy was more beautiful in this movie than any other in my opinion. You’d never know she was really struggling during this period in real life.
That’s the mark of real talent
i'd say she was more beautiful in The Clock and Presenting Lily Mars
She was one gorgeous woman!

What a fantastic song. Judy sang the hell out of this.
Judy ❤️🔥
"Don't call me 'pure soul'! It irritates me!" always makes me laugh.

Que cabelo mais lindo é esse de Judy Garland neste filme! Ela estava muito linda.
Excellent sound and great Choreography marvelous Judy Garland and Gene Kelly
Vincente Minnelli knew how to photograph Judy well.

Gene kelly wasn’t bad looking either😉
I agree 100%.

Love you, Judy.❤️
Hot. Go Judy.

Judy Garland and Gene Kelly are Immortal on Film! Judy Garland is Over the Rainbow in Heaven and Immortal and so is Gene Kelly!
3:16 - she's incredibly beautiful
fantastic
This is the most entertaining song ever!
Haven´t seen this movie in a long time! This song is my favourite!
Great to see and hear Judy Garland in stereo. I am waiting for them to release Annie Get Your Gun on Bluray and remixed in 5.1 audio. I have the soundtrack on CD and most songs were converted in stereo but the movie is in mono on DVD.
DON'T call me 'Pure Soul' - it irritates me!
¡Bellísima Judy Garland !❤

This is typical of Vincent Minnelli. He loved to fill the frame with as many people as possible.
Judy Garland is my favorite actor, she was in different movies the wizard of oz,meet me in St. Louis and the pirate she was awesome
Absolutely thrilling to hear the orchestra and choral arrangements so clearly. Another orchestral tour de force in The Pirate is Niña (especially the bolero section). Thanks for this!
Filming this scene was apparently a nightmare as Judy kept storming off the set and fighting with Vincent Minelli
An island down
#life
My favorite part was at 4:58
Sorry i meant to put 2:58
Gene was very sexy (especially that “pole” dance 😉) but I thought the ending of this movie was weak. I would’ve preferred if Gene was actually a pirate, misleading everyone, including the audience, the whole film.
The transition to the Be A Clown reprise is also very abrupt and comes out of nowhere.
Agree. It irritated me that ending. You had this great story very dashing and romantic and then that ridiculous ending.😭
The ending is excellent! Thew Be a Clown Number is Outstanding Movie Magic!
Why it gotta be black? lol
The sound is terrible...wrong speed
The sound is at exactly the same speed as the film - otherwise I couldn't keep them in synch!
