![]() Kane maybe even more so, Yo La Tengo drew influence from all across rock music, The Radio Dept. Cocteau Twins were extremely experimental, A.R. They're making dream pop out to be this one-note genre, when it was never really about that. If you compare any of Cocteau Twins albums' to one another, there are huge differences. Beach House is sort of meandering in old territory by now. Each album was pioneering new ground that was fresh at the time. I agree, and the key difference is that Cocteau Twins were really the driving innovative force behind dream pop at the time.

Errol Flynn was reported to have enjoyed himself immensely doing that very funny song. I also liked another number where a major Warner Brothers Star lampooned his image and had a jolly good time, singing That's What You Jolly Well Get. This number was later done in the Jane Froman bio-film With A Song in My Heart with Susan Hayward lipsynching Jane Froman's record. Arthur Schwartz and Frank Loesser wrote a nice score for this film and the big hit was a number talk/sung by Bette Davis, They're Either Too Young Or Too Old. Of course there's a young love subplot involving hopefuls Morgan and Joan Leslie, but it doesn't interfere with a plot that's taken from The Man In the Iron Mask. In between all the musical numbers the plot is simply to have Cantor kidnapped and Joe Simpson to take his place so that Dennis Morgan can get some exposure.

Today's moviegoers would not be aware of the fact that at the time Thank Your Lucky Stars was filmed, Dinah Shore was a regular on Eddie Cantor's radio show. But she's under contract to Eddie Cantor. Sakall would like to get Dinah Shore for their show. Producers of this show Edward Everett Horton and S.Z. ![]() They all involve getting the stars at the various studios to put on a show for the troops which they do, but with a few problems. I am the world's biggest sucker for All Star Films and the genre was never better than during the World War II era, when all the major studios made at least one of them as a morale booster. ![]()
