Naomi and I share a lot of the same taste, particularly when it comes to classic Hollywood – and musicals! I figured she’d try to give me something in that area, and I was right, but she had to dig through my seen and unseen lists for a while to do it!
This is one I don’t know how I missed growing up – I watched a ton of musicals, and nearly every Doris Day musical there was. I’d certainly heard of this one, but I think the idea of Ray Bolger as a leading man put me off a bit, because…I mean…the scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz as a lead? And you know what, he did fine. He may not be traditionally handsome, but he’s confident and holds the screen anyway.
