Good News (1947): Lower Your Expectations, and Be Delighted

A pretty fun romp! Definitely a turn-your-brain off college musical, but each number has a lot of charm and every time I see June Allyson I sigh a little...and they put her beside some shmuck! Ugh! I'd treat her right...

8/10. Suitable popcorn fare, apart from one little eye twitching old Hollywood racist number....but other than that.

Till the Clouds Roll By (1946): Early Installment Weirdness Biopic

This one was okay. I confess a certain fondness for the show tune 'Old Man River' (which they certainly got their money's worth of), as well as for 40s big band in general, so this movie was an exercise in patience while I waited for the boring biopic bits to be done with. Judy Garland has two numbers, Frank Sinatra has one, June Allyson has one and a half, etc. Not particularly memorable, really.

5/10. It's okay.
