I love this song and the lyrics as it is a happy song in days of old. I especially love it when sung by Judy Garland, who is one of my favorite all time singers. Music: Irving Berlin Lyrics: Irving Berlin Book: Moss Hart Premiere: Saturday, September 30, 1933 Never saw you look quite so pretty before Never saw you dressed quite so lovely what's more I could hardly wait to keep our date this lovely Easter morning And my heart beat fast as I came through the door For In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it You'll be the grandest lady in the Easter parade I'll be all in clover and when they look you over I'll be the proudest fellow in the Easter parade On the Avenue Fifth Avenue The photographers will snap us And you'll find that you're In the rotogravure Oh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet And of the girl I'm taking to the Easter parade

The following attachment is an interesting article on the musical "Singing In The Rain". For example, they almost starred Howard Keel in the movie instead of Gene Kelly and were also thinking of June Allyson or Judy Garland instead of the teenager Debbie Reynolds. As much as I love judy Garland, I am glad that Debbie Reynolds was selected for the part. http://news.moviefone.com/2012/03/27/singin-in-the-rain-60th-anniversary_n_1389545.html?icid=maing-grid10%7Chtmlws-main-bb%7Cdl3%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D147922

thought better of my post.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but, a friend seen it and raved about how good it was. Also, it is getting great reviews in the U.S. I am about 50% thru the second book and am not disappointed so far, thoroughly enjoy it.

Singing in the Rain is also one of my favorite films. The scene with Gene Kelly ( you know which one)is probably the best scene ever filmed in a movie.

Is that Gene Kelly in your avatar. btw, I have noticed that you appreciate good films (LOL - IMO).

Yes, that is true. I can also always find the easter egg if I know where it is. I searched "Fiction", Fantasy, Authors, and Thrillers - no luck.

I totally agree with your logic chelisbeach. I did a couple searches but they did not reveal the Hunger Games. It is one of those catch 22 things though as the books probably will not be discussed by as many adults since many do not wander over to the Youth section.

chelisbeach, Michelle may move my thread and combine it with the children's section but I really believe the Hunger Games topic deserves a section in the adult area . These books are such a blockbuster of a hit and are/have been on the best seller list for well over a year. the movie is about to be released and by all indications it will be a blockbuster. Books of this nature come along every once in a while starting with: The Hardy Boys Nany Drew series of books Harry Potter and now The Hunger Games - althoug Collins has stated that there will only be the 3 books and no more.

I cannot believe that there has not been a forum topic on the Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins. The books are ranked 1, 2, and 3 in popularity in the U.S. and the first movie is about to be released and it is a sure thing to be a great hit. I have read some reviews of the books by kids aged 10 and 12 and their reviews exceeds some that I have read by adults. The Hunger Games Trilogy is another series that is being read by people of all ages. I will probably start reading the series as soon as I finish the Baldacci book I am reading as all reviews on The Hunger Games have been great. The Hunger Games Catching Fire Mockinjay From Amazon: In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games," a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed.

Steinbeck is my favorite author, excluding none. The Moon is Down was a great piece of writing and I have read the book several times. I featured the book on another forum one time and several members criticized the book and Steinbeck because of the lack of not including in the book the persecution of the Jews. I for one, think they totally missed the intent and importance of the book, especially to the the citizens of Denmark and norway. The Moon is Down is a great piece of literature IMO.
