YOU WILL FIND: Reactions and commentary on movies I have seen, including "spoiler" references (because otherwise it wouldn't be much more than "mm, ug, liked it" or "argh, didn't like it") YOU WILL NOT FIND: Detail by detail summaries (because it's not the present purpose of this blog) READ. COMMENT. ENJOY. THANKS FOR VISITING.

"Cover Girl" (1944)
Musical featuring music by Jerome Kern and George Gershwin including the song "Long Ago and Far Away" which I really love. Rita Hayworth and Gene Kelly. Gene Kelly dances a number with himself bringing back an early film special effects technique--amazing. The story conflict (multiple working places--conflict of interests? men/women working roles?) has me a little mixed--but I'm attributing it either to the culture of the time or what they needed to do to actually have a conflict in the story. More likely it's the latter one. Romance conflicts in a theater work setting I'm sure are limited.
