SUMMARY:Classic Film Series:  Can Can
DESCRIPTION:Can Can\, released in 1960\, stars Frank Sinatra\, Shirley MacLaine\, and Louis Jourdan\, also prominently features supporting actor Maurice Chevalier and actress and dancer Juliet Prowse. \nIn 1896 Montmarte\, Paris\, the Can Can (a dance where women lift their skirts) is banned by law as lewd and lascivious.  However\, the female proprietor Simone (MacLaine) of the cabaret Bal du Paradis\, has it performed every day. Law enforcement personnel look the other way (even attending performances) due to the persuasive charms of the club’s female employees. An uptight\, ambitious judge (Jourdan) decides to bring the performances to an end. Despite multiple efforts to arrest and keep her in jail\, Simone uses her charms and wiles to shift the focus and blame\, until the presiding judge and her womanizing boyfriend attorney (Sinatra) end up vying for her affections with competing marriage proposals. Upon the advice of the Chief Judge (Chevalier) the presiding judge convenes a courtroom performance\, agreeing to accept the jury/audience’s determination of whether the dance is in fact\, lewd and lascivious. \nAdapted from a 1953 Broadway musical comedy (which ran for 2 years) with words and music by Cole Porter\, the screenplay was written by Dorothy Kingsley and Charles Lederer\, directed by Walter Lang\, and dances staged by Hermes Pan.  MacLaine actually performed in the can can chorus line in the Broadway production. The film received Oscar nominations for Best Costume Design and Best Music Scoring. \nAlthough set in Paris\, all of the filming was on a 20th Century back lot. As a demonstration of American ingenuity and talent\, Nikita Kruschev and his wife were invited to observe the filming during a U.S. visit. However\, instead of admiration\, Kruschev pronounced it an example of “western immorality and decadence\,” and during a meeting with U.S. labor leaders he further proclaimed in reference to the filming that “the face of mankind is prettier than its backside.” The uproar created a press maelstrom and a publicity reach which could not have been purchased for any amount of money.

SUMMARY:Classic Film Series:  My Fair Lady
DESCRIPTION:My Fair Lady\, released in 1964\, stars Audrey Hepburn\, Rex Harrison\, Stanley Holloway\, and Wilfred Hyde-White. This lavish American musical comedy/drama also features supporting actors Jeremy Brett\, Theodore Bikel and Gladys Cooper. \nIn 1912 London\, a snobbish phonetics professor\, Henry Higgins (Rex Harrison)\, upon studious observation of the speech and manners of Cockney flower girl\, Eliza Doolittle (Audrey Hepburn)\, agrees to a wager with linguistics professor Colonel Pickering (Wilfred Hyde-White)\, that he can transform her speech and manners and pass her off to high society as a duchess. For Higgins\, it would be a double win\, as he actually dislikes the pretentiousness of the upper class. Eliza agrees to work with Professor Higgins in order to improve her job prospects\, and arrives at her first lesson prepared to pay for his teaching. At her first public outing\, which takes place at the Ascot Racecourse\, she makes a good impression with her genteel manners\, but shocks everyone (and wins the Professor’s heart) when she lapses into Cockney to urge on her favorite horse: “move your bloomin’ arse!” Higgins finally wins the bet with the Colonel at an Embassy Ball\, where Eliza passes as a mysterious Duchess\, and an aristocratic suitor\, Freddy Eynsford-Hill(Brett) falls madly in love with her. When Higgins takes all the credit for her transformation\, without acknowledging her efforts\, she runs off with Freddy\, and the Professor discovers that he cannot live without her. \nGeorge Cukor’s elegant\, colorful adaptation of the beloved 1956 Broadway stage play of the same name of George Bernard Shaw’s 1913 stage play Pygmalion\, music  and lyrics by Frederick Loewe and Alan Jay Lerner\, was the most expensive film shot in the U.S. up until that time ($17M). It received 8 Oscar wins including Best Picture\, Best Director (Cukor)\, Best Actor (Harrison) \, and 4 Oscar nominations including Best Supporting Actor (Holloway)\, Best Supporting Actress (Cooper)\, and Best Screenplay (Alan Jay Lerner). It also received 15 awards and 9 nominations for other film awards.

SUMMARY:Classic Film Series:  Paint Your Wagon
DESCRIPTION:Paint Your Wagon\, released in 1969\, stars Lee Marvin\, Clint Eastwood\, Jean Seberg\, also features supporting actors Harve Presnell\, Ray Walston\, Alan Dexter and John Mitchum. This American Western musical was the end of the popularity with the movie-going public of musicals adapted or written for the big screen. \nSet in a mining camp in California during the Gold Rush era\, the wild\, wild west comes alive. Upon the discovery of gold while digging a grave\, prospector Ben Rumson (Marvin) stakes a claim to the burial site\, and adopts the surviving\, injured brother as his “Pardner”(Eastwood) while he recuperates from his injuries in the accident which killed his brother. A naïve romantic\, Pardner is not caught up by gold fever and only wants to earn enough money to buy some land. The prospector promises to share the spoils of his prospecting in return for Pardner’s taking care of him and keeping him safe during his times of melancholy and drunkenness. As more prospectors arrive\, a tent city\, known as No Name City springs up. Polygamy\, wife selling\, polyandry\, brothels with “French tarts\,” gambling\, saloon fights\, and property destruction of an entire town follow.  As might be predicted\, nothing good results when Pardner agrees to share a household to watch over Elizabeth (Seberg) when Ben heads up the mission to bring “6 French tarts” to No Name City to combat the loneliness and boost the gold mining efforts of the male prospectors.  When Elizabeth and Pardner fall in love\, Elizabeth convinces Ben and Pardner that their polyandrous arrangement should be fine: if a Mormon can have 2 wives\, why shouldn’t she have two husbands? All is well until the arrival of “civilized” Easterners whose parson sets about to get the community to give up its evil ways. \nAdapted by Paddy Chayefsky from the 1951 Broadway musical of the same name\, the movie was produced by Alan Jay Lerner and directed by Joshua Logan. The movie received one Oscar nomination for Best Score (Lerner and Loewe).

SUMMARY:Classic Film Series:  Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
DESCRIPTION:Seven Brides for Seven Brothers\, released in 1954\, stars Howard Keel\, Jane Powell\, and Russ Tamblyn (who went on to star in the 1961 release of West Side Story.) This American Romantic Musical also features supporting actors/dancers Jeff Richards\, Matt Mattox\, Jacques D’Amboise\, Virginia Gibson and Tommy Rall. \nSet in 1850\, Adam Pontipee (Keel)\, living a life of self-sufficiency in the backwoods of an Oregon Territory\, heads into town to look for a bride. He meets Milly (Powell)\, the cook in the local boarding house where he stays\, and proposes to her based on the quality of her cooking and diligence in completing her chores. She falls in love with him at first sight\, and eagerly accepts his proposal of marriage. Following their marriage\, they arrive at Adam’s cabin where she is surprised to discover his six ill-mannered\, uncouth younger brothers all living with him. Believing that she would only be caring for him\, she reproaches Adam for deceiving her\, only wanting a servant\, not a wife\, and banishes him from her bed. The unmarried brothers decide that they too should find wives. Milly knows that the well-meaning but ignorant brothers would never find wives if they did not learn proper manners\, cleanliness\, and how to behave around women.  Loving Adam\, she embarks on an effort to teach them so that they might be able to woo and win wives of their own.  Unfortunately\,  polite courtship efforts result in a barn-raising brawl\, and the brothers are expelled from the town. Determined to keep his family together\, Adam hatches a plan for the brothers to follow the example of the Sabine women by carrying off their future brides before winter sets in.  More complications ensue\, but eventually\, due to the ingenuity of the women\, a happy ending is achieved. \nAdapted from the short story\, “The Sobbin’ Women” by Stephen Vincent Benet\, which was based on the Ancient Roman legend of the Rape of the Sabine Women\, the film is an original musical made expressly for the big screen. The screenplay was written by Albert Hackett\, Frances Goodrich\, and Dorothy Kingsley. Directed by Stanley Donen\, music and lyrics by Gene de Paul and Johnny Mercer with brilliant choreography by Michael Kidd\, the barn raising scene is known as one of the most rousing dance numbers ever put on screen. The film received an Oscar for Best Scoring of a Musical Picture and was nominated for four others\, including Best Picture and Best Cinematography.
