Last Saturday, I mentioned listening to Mel Brook's commentary track on the Blazing Saddles (1974) DVD. That movie included an lusty-lady saloon singer played by Madeline Kahn. Mel said that she'd done an excellent job of re-creating the spirit of Marlene Dietrich.I took that as a direct challenge.
It is no longer impossible to catch up on classic movies. I suppose in the past it was only possible if one lived hear an art-house movie cinema. Now, it's as easy as visiting the DVD section of the local library. My first decision is whether I should watch the German or English version of The Blue Angel (1930).
The second decision will be choosing a time when I'll have the time to view it. There're still a few hours of shows on the PVR that I've not watched yet.
