Today's review on MyOldAddiction.com, Suspiria by #LucaGuadagnino, "Little of what makes sense is particularly memorable"

BEST MUSIC 1954: The song that Judy Garland impresses James Mason with in her version of A Star Is Born, "The Man That Got Away", is one of her finest, certainly the best song since "Over The Rainbow" that she introduced in a movie, but the Academy instead went for the as-yet-unrewarded pairing of JULE STYNE and SAMMY CAHN for one of their least inspiring collaborations, the title tune from the shallow romance THREE COINS IN THE FOUNTAIN. They were also nominated together for "It Seems I Heard That Song Before" (Youth On Parade, 1942), "I'll Walk Alone" (Follow The Boys, 1944), "Anywhere" (Tonight and the Every Night), "I Fall In Love Too Easily" (Anchors Aweigh, both 1945), "It's Magic" (Romance on the High Seas, 1948) and "It's A Great Feeling" (It's A Great Feeling, 1949). Styne, who went on to conquer Broadway with hits like Gypsy and Funny Girl, was also nominated for "Who Am I?" (Hit Parade of 1941, 1940), "A Change of Parade" (Hit Parade of 1943, 1943) and "Funny Girl" (Funny Girl, 1968). He died in 1994. Cahn also won for "All The Way" (The Joker Is Wild, 1957), "High Hopes" (A Hole In The Head, 1959) and "Call Me Irresponsible" (Papa's Delicate Condition, 1963) and was nominated for "Be My Love" (The Toast of New Orleans, 1950), "Wonder Why" (Rich, Young and Pretty, 1951), "Because You're Mine" (Because You're Mine, 1952), "I'll Never Stop Loving You" (Love Me Or Leave Me), "Love Is The Tender Trap" (The Tender Trap, both 1955), "Written On The Wind" (Written On The Wind, 1956), "To Love and Be Loved" (Some Came Running, 1958), "The Best of Everything" (The Best of Everything, 1959), "The Second Time Around" (High Time, 1960), "Pocketful of Miracles" (Pocketful of Miracles, 1961), "My Kind of Town" (Robin and the 7 Hoods), "Where Love Has Gone" (Where Love Has Gone, both 1964), "Thoroughly Modern Millie" (Thoroughly Modern Millie, 1967), "Star" (Star, 1968), "All That Love Went To Waste" (A Touch of Class, 1973), "Now That We're In Love" (Whiffs, 1975). He died in 1993.
