Live Poll: Classic Performance Musicals
D'IMDb : « Les comédies musicales de performance se déroulent dans le cadre des directives du monde réel ; les numéros musicaux qui se produisent peuvent tous être expliqués par les règles du monde réel, généralement dans le cadre d'une sorte de performance qui se produit par les personnages . par opposition aux comédies musicales organiques. Les comédies musicales organiques sont des comédies musicales où les gens se mettent littéralement à chanter avec une musique de fond au milieu de la scène, et il n'y a pas d'explication réelle à cela. "
Sur la base de cette explication, laquelle de ces comédies musicales classiques est votre préférée ?

@ElMo,
For your consideration:
Orchestra Wives (1942)
Connie Ward is in seventh heaven when Gene Morrison's band rolls into town. She is swept off her feet by trumpeter Bill Abbot. After marrying him, she joins the bands tour and learns about life as an orchestra wife, weathering the catty attacks of the other band wives.
Holiday Inn (1942)
Lovely Linda Mason has crooner Jim Hardy head over heels, but suave stepper Ted Hanover wants her for his new dance partner after femme fatale Lila Dixon gives him the brush. Jim's supper club, Holiday Inn, is the setting for the chase by Hanover and manager Danny Reed. The music's the thing.

A Prairie Home Companion (2006)
A final live variety show broadcast via radio becomes a metaphor for the natural order of life. A concept and script by Garrison Keilor uses every natural and technical element of working with a tight and close ensemble producing a weekly show to sooth us and guide us through the natural but difficult transitions of aging, becoming less relevant and then dying as new, young life develops and strengthens during our final "performances." This is a rare film for it's remarkable cast and crew and one wonders how the great Robert Altman was able to gather them all at the same place and time to shoot this film. —Dave Seaman

The Producers (1967) and The Producers (1967)
New York, 1959. Max Bialystock was once the king of Broadway, but now all his shows close on opening night. Things turn around when he's visited by the neurotic accountant Leo Bloom, who proposes a scheme tailor-made for producers who can only make flops: raise far more money than you need, then make sure the show is despised. No one will be interested in it, so you can pocket the surplus. To this end, they produce a musical called Springtime for Hitler written by escaped Nazi Franz Liebken. Then they get the insanely flamboyant Roger De Bris to direct. Finally, they hire as a lead actress the loopy Swedish bombshell Ulla (whose last name has over 15 syllables). As opening night draws near, what can go wrong? Well, there's no accounting for taste... —rmlohner
