Hey, I’m not going to jail then.
I’d buy stuff legally but a lot of the really good recordings aren’t available that way.
That’s a funny picture, which I’m guessing is from Trovatore. Why the bunny ears though?
That pirate can invade me, based on his legs alone.
Believe it or not, this is film of the young Eddie J. Smith.
Why did he cut Bugs Bunny’s ears off?
He’s pretty attractive.
That’s Gene Kelly, not any Eddie J. Smith!(I wondered why he could dance so well.)
La Cieca’s a bad girl, telling fibs…
I think it’s a fantasy dance sequence from ‘The Pirate’, a sumptuosly mounted Vincente Minelli/Arthur Freed MGM musical with Gene Kelly and Judy Garland. Just to bring it back home… who is the son of a famous tenor that plays the villain (or should I say “heavy”) of the piece?
And whose daughter has starred in the soap opera “One Life to Live” since 1971…
7 Walter Slezak.
BTW, who is Eddie J. Smith? Usually I can find La Cieca’s references online, but this time I’ve had no luck.
