Seven Sinners

BBB

(out of 5)

Good songs, fun costumes, ‘s eyebrows: for some people, it’s more than enough!  Dietrich is once again the dangerous temptress, this time travelling the South Seas and ending up in a U.S. protectorate called Boni Kamba.  There she performs at the titular night club and wins the heart of navy man .  Wayne’s superiors try to intervene in their impending romance, but it seems he’s so head over heels he’s willing to throw over his career for her. You can easily guess what happens to the hooker with the heart of gold.

Today's review on MyOldAddiction.com, Tin Pan Alley by #WalterLang starring #AliceFaye and #BettyGrable, "tuneful revue meant to recapture the success of Alexander's Ragtime Band"
"I quite like being mobbed. After all it is extremely nice to be recognised. That's what acting is all about - being recognised." - David Hemmings, born November 18, 1941.  #DavidHemmings
"My nickname among my group of friends is Mother, and I tend to take care of everybody." - Elizabeth Perkins, born November 18, 1960.  #ElizabethPerkins
"I am most proud of my integrity and least proud of my cynicism." - Chloe Sevigny, born November 18, 1974.  #ChloeSevigny
BEST MUSIC 2018: Warner Bros reacted to the overwhelming critical praise for their latest version of A STAR IS BORN by insisting on placing the film in the Drama category at the Golden Globes, once again perpetuating the idea that musicals are the less prestigious genre. The studio then watched in horror as their film was overlooked in every category but one, it would have easily swept the awards the way Streisand's version had if they had stayed in the Musical or Comedy category where they belonged. Winning only one Globe that night, for Best Original Song, deflated the film's Oscar chances and no one was surprised that the experience was repeated at the Oscars: despite the fact that LADY GAGA had plenty of buzz for her performance when the film opened, the Best Actress Oscar went to Olivia Colman while the famously creative pop star won for her excellent earworm of a song, "SHALLOW", which she co-wrote with MARK RONSON, ANTHONY ROSSOMANDO and ANDREW WYATT. The other nominees would have been smart to assume they didn't stand a chance, as the song was not only great but was the best example in years of a number that was part of the fabric of the storytelling; the scene of her "breakthrough" performance is one of the film's greatest rewards. Gaga was also nominated for "Til It Happens To You" (The Hunting Ground, 2015). Marvel fans were thrilled that BLACK PANTHER became the first superhero film to earn a Best Picture nomination, and while they were plenty disappointed by its not winning the top prize, the film did take home three Oscars including Best Original Score for LUDWIG GORANSSON.
