GREENWICH VILLAGE Series: Judy Holliday: The Smart Dumb Blonde [Aug 25 – 31 2006] Director: Walter Lang, Country: USA, Release: 1944, Runtime: 82 New 35mm print A musical with songs by Leo Robin and Nacio Herb Brown that stars Don Ameche, William Bendix and Vivian Blaine. The story takes place in the 20s when a hick composer comes to Bohemian Greenwich Village and falls in with a group of entertainers who work in a splashy nightclub. The proprietor wants to put on an uptown show and the novice composer happens to have a concerto handy that can be used for the opening. Reasons to see this film, besides its nostalgic songs (“Whispering” in repeated refrain), are a dance number by Sally and Tony de Marco, a specialty number by the Four Step Brothers, and above all, for a glimpse of a Greenwich Village act called “The Revuers” which consisted of Adolph Green, Betty Comden, Alvin Hammer, and Judy Tuvim, soon to be Judy Holliday. See if you can spot Judy et al as they hurry past Blaine approx. 22m into the film, and later as Judy emerges from the back bedroom holding two bottles of booze. Preceded by a sketch of Judy on a blind date with Steve Allen — at the opera.
