delightful!
Another old movie from my garage vaults; one I always loved because of the great music and so many MGM stars. The loosely based biography of both Richard Rogers and Lorenz Hart. They were a great pair. Rogers wrote the music and Hart did the sometimes crazy lyrics Tom Drake plays Rogers, and Mickey Rooney plays Hart. The big numbers in this were by June Allison in “Thou Swell”; Judy Garland’s “Johnny One-Note”; Judy and Mickey doing “I’ll Take Manhattan”; Mel Torme’s “Blue Moon”, and many others. I believe this film was one of Perry Como’s and Mel Torme’s first. The story may seem like a hodgepodge of great talent, but who cares the music is wonderful! How could anyone not love Judy Garland or June Allison? 7/10

Mickey Rooney Takes Manhattan
Even when you consider how these whitewashed Hollywood musical biopic extravaganzas usually play out, “Words and Music” is embarrassingly ill-conceived. MGM might have been wiser to borrow Abbott & Costello from Universal for the roles of Lorenz Hart and Richard Rodgers. But, the movie is beautifully produced at all times, by Arthur Freed and the studio. And, the musical numbers range from terrific to indispensable. For a song, listen to Mel Tormé doing “Blue Moon”; it’s one of the most beautiful renditions of that standard, and became a Capitol hit for Mr. Tormé. For a dance, observe Gene Kelly and Vera-Ellen doing “Slaughter on 10th Avenue”; it’s a superbly performed and choreographed vignette, and belongs with the best of Mr. Kelly’s work.
