I Love Melvin (1953) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #ILoveMelvin
Charming and witty musical reunites Singin’ in the Rain’s Debbie Reynolds and Donald O’Connor in the tale of a go-fer’s quixotic quest to get his lady love plastered on the cover of Look magazine. Melvin Hoover (O’Connor) is a bumbler (except when he’s dancing on skates), a workaday schlep for Look magazine in love with Broadway chorine Judy LeRoy (Reynolds). Melvin convinces Judy he can send her star aloft by putting her on the cover of Look, due to his photog credentials.
Directed By Don Weis
Starring Donald O'Connor, Debbie Reynolds, Una Merkel

That definitely qualifies as one of the more peculiar Hollywood dance numbers I’ve seen - Debbie Reynolds as a human football among dancing football players...?

@mikegross6107 4 года назад

hebneh not to say anything about the ATHLETIC ABILITIES she showed and FEARLESSNESS of being thrown around like she was! How in the world did she do this routine without getting injured?

@bossdrive525 4 года назад

Far more entertaining than the hedonistic garbage that Hollywood produces today.

Debbie Reynolds was simply adorable in every movie she made, and the rapport between her and Donald O Connor was magic, I will never tire of watching these old clips.

@ellyjett 4 года назад

Ok, I don't even have the flu nor Corvid19, but christ this looks like a fever dream. I'm seeing this out of context, but a football game dance number with a sentient football, what in the hell was going in '53?

@onemercilessming1342 4 года назад

ellyjett--In 1953, television was making huge inroads into the market share previously "owned" by the Hollywood studios. My mother spoke of, during the Depression, spending 5 cents on a Saturday to go to the movies to see a serial, a cartoon, a newsreel and a feature film, sometimes a double feature. Compare that with the prices of seeing a movie in theaters today! Movies during the Depression decade were designed to take people's minds off the bread lines and the unemployment and the hard times. When WW II overtook the nation, the movies were literally propaganda driven and so were the cartoons that were featured. If you can find a Warner Brothers cartoon DVD from that time period (most have been archived as they were, by the standards of the 21st century, very racist). At any rate, by 1950, television sets began appearing in living rooms and the studios began putting out epics such as Ben Hur, The Ten Commandments, and others as well as movies with thin plots but plenty of dance routines and singing to try to fill the theater seats.

@AshleyPomeroy 4 года назад

The economy was booming, rock and roll hadn't happened yet, Marlon Brando was in his prime - there was a lot of pent-up sexuality that could only be tamed by making Debbie Reynolds dress up as a football.

@gaillofdahl5220 7 лет назад

I wonder who did her vaulting for her; I can't imagine the studio would risk breaking Debbie Reynolds' neck!

@sisterluke 7 лет назад

She did a lot of her own stunts, she was a gymnast in high school.

@gaillofdahl5220 7 лет назад

I just thought it was interesting that whoever was being tossed in the air from 1:44 to 1:54 had her back to us.

@sarasmith5110 4 года назад

It was not Debbie in some of the vaults, far too dangerous. Whoever did those stunts was fearless. Especially the one at 3:20 she threw herself backwards and had to trust she was going to be caught. She looked very pretty.

@EJP286CRSKW 4 года назад

Sara Smith It wasn't Debbie in any of the vaults. Stunt double keeps her face averted from the camera, then there is a cut to CU of Debbie, every time.

Possibly inspired by Eleanor Powell, who wore a similar costume as a human pinball in 'Sensations of 1945'. Debbie grew up adoring Ellie and led the standing ovation when Miss P appeared at Fred Astaire's American Film Institute tribute in 1981. Ellie let herself be thrown around but never used a stunt double.
