MGM’s Technicolor musical opened on the same day as that studio’s Esther Williams splasher, “This Time for Keeps,” which was part of the Capitol Theatre’s holiday offering. Ad displayed here
One of Freed’s best musicals including two of MGM’s best production numbers staged by the amazing Robert Alton. Too bad they didn’t use the Magnascope screen for the spectacular Varsity Drag finale. Comden and Green called it their Battleship Potemkin(it was a joke.) The wonderful Patricia Marshall(‘I wish somebody loved me the way you love you.’ Said by Allyson) the last cast member died last December shortly before her 95th birthday.
On Christmas day the city got hit by the blizzard of ‘47(the worst since ‘88, more than 2 feet) bringing the city to a standstill for several days killing business everywhere. But I bet the Music Hall staff had to show up.
