Judy GarlandandGene KellyinThe Pirate (Vincente Minnelli, 1948)
“The religious ritual of greeting, watching and listening to Judy Garland took place last night in Carnegie Hall. Indeed, what actually was to have been a concert- and was- also turned into something not too remote from a revival meeting.
From the moment Miss Garland came on the stage, a stage, incidentally, on which have trod before her the immortals of music, the cultists were beside themselves. What Rev. Billy Graham would have given for such a welcome from the faithful!
They were on their feet before the goddess grabbed the microphone, and by the time she had bestowed the first of those warm smiles, they were applauding and screaming “Bravo!” Miss Garland could have probably ended the concert right there and they would still be cheering. The fact is that at least a half dozen times more during the evening the standing ovation, plus the screaming, took place.“
Lewis Funke for The New York Times, April 24th 1961

He told me that she taught him how to kiss on camera. He said he tried a stage kiss, where you just turn your head, and she said you had to make it real because the camera was right there. He loved her dearly. | Patricia Kelly

(For the Trio)
When a dove is in love with a doll of a dove
He is out all night, coo, cooing
When the owl’s on a prowl or a feminine fowl
He goes out all night, woo, wooing
Every bird and bee has its lunacy
In the way he works his dream off
But when I feel high, here’s the way
That I like to get my kind of steam off
Owls hoo, hoo, others sigh
Doves coo, coo, ah, how I
I could go on singing till the cows come home
And the rooster starts to crow, crow, crow
When I see your eyes, I go all out
I must vocalize till you shout, “Enough already”
I could go on singing till the moon turns pink
Anything from Faust to Ink-a-dink-a-dink
Love does funny things
When it hits you this way
I must keep on singing, like a lark, going strong
With my heart on the wings of a song, singing day
SMILE :)
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you’ll just smile.
(Charles Chaplin)
