Greetings, Gingerologists! I finished up my tests yesterday, so should
be back to 'normal' posting... and, as suggested by the resident
O.G.R.E. (for the new folks, that is the Official Ginger Research
Expert... a.k.a. SassyGinger...), a NEW POLL!!! The question is as
follows:
Which of the following Ginger and Fred movies would best serve as the 'prequel' to "Barkleys of Broadway?"
"Flying Down To Rio"........
"Roberta"........
"Follow The Fleet"........
"Swing Time"........
"Shall We Dance"........
...As for the 'background', most folks 'round these parts know that
'Barkleys' set out to be the 'sequel' to "Easter Parade", but after Judy
Garland had to step away from the production, Ginger stepped in, and
the rest is history...
As to the choices above, the
only criteria was that both of the GandF characters had to be in show
biz, which is more often than not the case in a GandF film..."The
Castles", while fitting the 'show biz' criteria, obviously could not
have a sequel w/o Vernon, and it was a true story, anyway... "Swing
Time" is 'marginal', but after 'Never Gonna Dance', you just figure they
were gonna make a living hoofing, right?
Well, hope this poll makes ya think a bit... it really is tough to just pick one to be the 'most likely'...
Hope to post more frequently... until then,
Keep It Gingery!!!
