...hey, when's the last time we had a...
...GingerPoll? Quite awhile, honestly! Well, as I am slaving away on
'The Gay Divorcee' review (it's gonna be sometime next week, y'all...), I
started thinking...since this is the first of five GandF films directed
by Ginger's bud, Mark Sandrich, I'd just post this simple poll (you see
where we're rolling toward, right?
Which of the Mark Sandrich - directed GandF films is your favorite?
...save for George Stevens'
"Swing Time", Sandrich truly was THE 'director of the franchise'...so,
VERY begrudgingly, we must give him props for that... but he should have
been a bit more cordial to our girl, y'know?
Anyway, there's the poll... hopefully I'll make a decent dent in the 'Divorcee' review this weekend...I'll most likely 'minimize' the number of screen caps for the dances, and MAY defer to the 'Divorcee' blog...THAT'S probably gonna be the norm from here on, as the 'uber-Ginger-face-time' movies will just be impossible to have all the caps in one review post... I KNEW there was a reason to set all of those up!
Hope the weekend goes well for all of y'all out there...we have clear skies and upper 80s, so I'll probably do some outdoor stuff... about that time, right?
Remember, vote early and often! ...and,
Keep It Gingery!

- that was a difficult choice, Top Hat is my favourite movie of all time (and i did vote Top Hat) but i'm a big fan of Carefree more for it being more of a Ginger and Fred movie as opposed to Fred and Ginger however i am aware that had nothing to do with Sandrich
- That was difficult - I love them all, but in the end had to go with Top Hat as it's the perfect package, sets and everything (and Swing Time isn't in the mix, to make it even harder to choose!) plus I've just seen it on stage for the second time and can't stop humming the songs!
- I went with Top Hat also but like FredandGingerMad Carefree holds a special place in my heart as it was more Ginger's movie than the others. And I expect if Ginger didn't already have a Mark Sandrich doll to stick pins in before this movie, she certainly did after. It was at this point that Sandrich suggested Ginger take singing, dancing and acting lessons. Carefree wonderfully demonstrated her superior talents. So there, Mark Sandrich!
- GF11 - well, yeah, it's kinda tough...I like different parts of all of these...not picking a 'fav', tho...at least until the voting is over... and hang in for 'divorcee'...hopefully by the weekend...oof.
Kat - Top Hat is ultimately the most 'mainstream' of the GandF films... pretty hard to go wrong with it...I love the final scene, with them strolling down the stairs...so cool.
CMM - well, good to hear you've seen the 'Top Hat' show as well...Kat has been to it a few times...waiting for it to make it to the states...would love to see it, if it is within a day's travel, which seems like most things concerning Ginger isn't from here, dang it!
Lady F: thanks - had a cool Father's day...hope all your dads had a great time as well...
Carefree is a very different GandF film...they do dance in it, but really don't have the 'production' the prior ones had... but ginger rules in it...I could watch it ovah and ovah ...it may be my fave Ginger movie, Fred nonwithstanding... anyway, Sandrich got some great scenes IMHO, so that's something... but he's still king goob-ah, of course...
And can't wait for the Gay Divorcee film review!
