  • I Love Melvin (1953) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #ILoveMelvin
    Charming and witty musical reunites Singin’ in the Rain’s Debbie Reynolds and Donald O’Connor in the tale of a go-fer’s quixotic quest to get his lady love plastered on the cover of Look magazine. Melvin Hoover (O’Connor) is a bumbler (except when he’s dancing on skates), a workaday schlep for Look magazine in love with Broadway chorine Judy LeRoy (Reynolds). Melvin convinces Judy he can send her star aloft by putting her on the cover of Look, due to his photog credentials.
    Directed By Don Weis
    Starring Donald O'Connor, Debbie Reynolds, Una Merkel

    I've been on a Debbie Reynolds Musical UA-cam binge and she is such a gold mine of attitude and mood gifs! Love her!

      Bolsheviki--Oh, you should have been alive when Elizabeth Taylor lured Eddie Fisher away from Debbie Reynolds. The attitude in THIS movie was NOTHING compared to the attitude she showed the world back then. It took decades for the feud to subside and Taylor, Reynolds, and a few others to film, "These Old Broads".

      Especially considering the fact that with all the years that it's been in reruns, none of the lead actors on "Seinfeld", except for Seinfeld himself, have ever seen a dime of residuals. And Henry Winkler has gotten a total of $60,000 in residuals for "Happy Days" since it went off the air.

      Devya Dixit--Fred Astaire retired from MGM in 1946. This movie was released in 1953. Gene Kelly and Reynolds were under MGM contract, but in 1952/3 Kelly was filming 'Love is Better than Ever"(1952); "Singin' in the Rain" (1952), "The Devil Makes Three" (1952), and preparing for "Brigadoon" (released 1954). He likely wasn't available, either.

      @@devdixit2440--I had to look it up, as Astaire DID have a part in "On the Beach", a 1959 movie (black and white) starring Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner. He must have retired from dancing, but not acting. Astaire plays a rich playboy type with a penchant for fast cars. This version is from the American point of view, as is the novel from which it was adapted. There is another version, very well done, that shows the book from the Australian point of view, starring Armand Assante, (made for TV 2000 in color). Both are rather well done and adhere to the premise of the book, although the black and white version holds truer to the people involved. Both, however, are enough to make reasoning people think hard about the end results of a full-out nuclear exchange. That was more of a threat in the 1950/60s than now, but it IS still a threat. There is a "Doomsday Clock" that shows, from a global political viewpoint, how close we are to a full-out nuclear exchange. If you're interested, you might want to read some of the late Dr. Carl Sagan's works for a science point of view on what a nuclear winter fallout catastrophe would do to all life on earth.

      @@devdixit2440 To be more accurate, Fred Astaire attempted to retire in the '40s... But, it didn't take. Haha! It lasted for about 2 years and then, he got pulled out of retirement to do "Easter Parade" with Judy Garland. Astaire did it both as a favor for Gene Kelly (who had injured himself & asked Fred to take over his role) and because he had always wanted to work with Judy Garland. He had such a good experience Astaire never officially retired from acting again. He made his last musical in 1968 (Finian's Rainbow) but, his last movie appearance was in 1981 (Ghost Story) only 6 years before he passed away. The real reason he wouldn't have appeared in this movie is because he was busy starring in "The Band Wagon".
      (Sidenote: Actors, normally, didn't factor into the budget of studio-era movies. All actors were treated as full-time employees of the studio so, they were paid a weekly salary regardless of whether they were working on a movie at the time or not. Unlike now, where all actors are independent contractors who are only paid per job).
