The Pirate Review

Although Gene Kelly's Athletic as the players walk Serafin excellent, and since some of the best opportunities to dance in his career, this is Miss Garland film the entire journey. And what a movie! How strange that it is not better known.

In one of his rare moments of theatrical generosity, published by Garland births meters from the small town of Hardy – villas, and / or girl that makes it sweet to Broadway with the straw still in her purse and gave something genuine spirit ofand refinement.

Because here is Manuel Alvarez, colonial Virgin Islands, a well-born, 19th Century Girl Exam (presumably convent educated, ie, Gladys Cooper, Judy, "… you take refuge in a church!") Is their only way d 'out of his psychic self-care patterns in the notorious pirate, "Mack the Black Macocha. who believe they are tricked by a hot-headed actor, Serafin (Kelly) is the true Macocha while he is in reality nothing more than theirlumpy is committed to Dom Pedro mayor (Walter Slezak), the core wire, which is at its glories of cinema.

And what phantasmagoric beauties are! This ranking by "Yolanda and the Thief" (sorry, "American in Paris" fans) as the most skillful Technicolor Mr. Minnelli visual performance. To work with Jack Martin Smith, invents a port in the Caribbean Sea in a swirl of color and character can – and almost smell the salty air with spices and a touch of weariness, as well asIn addition, a dock full of vendors Negroe turban, a village of salmon and white stucco walls and black wrought iron filagreed against a blue sky and extra bevys dress with a value of chance in rainbow-colored moire, velvet and brocade, flounces , furbellows, Mundschnüren and gloves. The interiors are shaded with Empire furniture, fully carved ebony and blinds of bamboo and palms.

The effect is deliberately in a musical comedy, and really fantastic. A book of photos fromto life, but that successfully combines the conventions of 19th Century aristocratic Label (where the quality young women can not leave without their maids) in the 20 Century Slang show biz thinks with great effect, (here is a delightful reference to Mr. Kelly, a review of "Trinidad Clarion comparisons with David Garrick", "No Noose Is Good Noose" and "You should try to minimize a certain point."

The players are on top of their form: Mr. Kelly isFull possession of his powers here: his partnership with the Nicholas Brothers in "Be a Clown" and "Pirate Ballet" (which runs as a spear against a crimson sky lit up with explosions) almost identical to the breath.

But it is in "Ninia" that has successfully achieved the production of a Terpsichore soloist with the choreographer Robert Alton, boom Harry Stradling's fluid camera to his cat as it moves over and through the city and the beautiful Cole PorterLyric and melody, culminating in the steps of flamenco dancer with a warm and seductive in MGM contract and the auction of a striped circular pavilion.

Miss Garland is not enough to say. No longer Betsy Booth! Manuela is an opportunity to extend its offering in a direction in which (unfortunately) would never venture again.

Here is bitterly intonations Humor rip each row and the situation: "Oh, Casilda I wish you were a bit 'more intellectual!" or "You callFun to live in a tent? hungry? order to be considered by all decent people? "Giving free rein to beat the script provides. In fact, she sings his nervous energy in his character protected in a manner that (as a magazine," Parent's in his review), gently parodies some of his previous film characterizations. Therefore, we obtain as Dorothy ( "I know it's something terrible would happen, something terrible …") and 'a service that you can only imagine that all otherActress plays. They argued that the role and make it his own.

And who's the scene where she pretends to believe Serafin is Macocha discovered the deception when he forgot, "I see now, your sword in hand and a compass commands that your pirate crew to shout success and I, I , you incentive to ever greater, is not this great? "to which he sank pounds his fist on the table with the poison sugar.

Musicallyis also a pleasure from beginning to end.

In addition, he has never seen such a visual advantage after the war, as it is here, dressed as Tom Keogh and Madame Karinska one of the most beautiful pearls (E!) Closets has ever brought to the screen, and, equally important is effective in hair (especially in "Love of My Life" sequence, where there is a tiara of coral and adorned with matching earrings.)

Similarly, their close-ups are meltingbeautiful as the nightgown scene dressed calling Gladys Cooper, contact the Port of Sebastian, "I will make him a good woman, Aunt Ines is very -." (was here for a vision of feminine charm, you!) or a little 'later, when wearing a large straw hat, looking to the Caribbean, or perhaps best of all, with a shell over one ear, and under hypnosis, whispers interlocutors Macocha glare.

Supporting players are on the mark-up, and it is interesting to see GarlandInteracting with Gladys Cooper and horror veteran George Zucco.

After it was over, MGM postponed to kitschy vaudeville formula Garland, but fortunately, "The Pirate" was already able. Musical film historian Douglas McVay said that was the best musical film of 1948. He's right. Watch to find out why.
