I watched a singing ride of a movie called "The Mikado - Gilbert & Sullivan (1939)"
A first- rate cast drawn from the celebrated D'Oyly Carte Opera Company teams up with the London Symphony Orchestra for the spectacular film adaptation of Gilbert and Sullivan's most popular operetta. Cloaked in the guise of a Japanese musical drama, The Mikado is in truth a good-natured satire of Victorian society. Martyn Green, the foremost Gilbert and Sullivan interpreter of all time, is masterful as Koko, The Lord High Executioner who finds that his first intended victim is actually the Mikado's son traveling in disguise. Sydney Granville is the robust Pooh-Bah, and radio star Kenny Baker is in top form as NankiPoo. Colorful, amusing,and entertaining.
This movie was my cup of tea but I am not sure if my husband would like it. If you like singing movies it is for you. Movies back in the 30s sure are different from the ones today and what can I say I like 30s music too. Bob Dylan has changed me so to speak. I found The Mikado at a good price of $2.00 at the paws thrift store. I just love thrift stores. Sometimes you sure can find some neat stuff and you don't have to spend a lot of money either.
I was looking through My Space today and I typed in Bryson City, NC. I was amazed at how many people around Bryson have my space pages and over toward Asheville too. Let's just say these past three weeks My Space has kept me from being bored.
Rain, Rain, Rain. Well we didn't get a whole lot of rain. Pretty soon my husband is going to have to have another car now his driver's side window won't work. The window is all the way down plus when you drive it, it sounds like the front end is about to drop anytime. Sometimes it doesn't want to start. I was trying to help Dwayne fix his window and I prayed for the Lord to help us but the window has had it. I think it's the Lord's will for him to get another car. Lord, just let Dwayne get another good car. We can't afford payments so hopefully we can find a car at a good price. My husband works so hard he has been tired a lot here lately. I love him lots though for a better man. Thank you Lord.
I hope I can keep being laid off I have until May 3rd to go. I need the rest from housekeeping. It is a hard job and I am so tired. Tired all the time but happy to be alive. Alive and kicking. |
