HELLZAPOPPIN
So Christmas is over for another year. Was it fun for you?
I must admit I am suffering another hangover. The fifteenth consecutive one at this stage or something.
New Years resolutions are kicking in early from today. No drinking. No smoking. Start eating healty. Actually there is an idea. I could use this blog as a day by day account of me trying to give up all the junk. Wouldn't that be interesting to read?
Wouldn't it?
Hello?
Hello? Anyone there?
In other news. The great Tom Millett asked myself for dinner last night with a couple of other friends. And he cooked!!!! And it wasn't half bad!!! Not half bad at all. Wonders never cease.
After the meal we all watched a thorougly bizarre comedy from 1941 called HELLZAPOPPIN. The film was totally ahead of its time I think.
I was told that the dance scene in the film was one of the greatest ever. And you know...it wasn't half bad. So find the film...and check it out...
But in the mean time...heres that scene in full YOUTUBE glory.

I almost didnt watch this as l assumed it was one of those racist films, but l was caught by the dance! I love it! Its good to see women were free enough to pop up around like that. If you watch "So you think you can dance", sunday 6pm on one of the many cable channels on TV (Living Tv l think), l swear you will find the young ones of today trying hard to pull those dance moves (which they now call contemporary dance). Anyway its good stuff!
what just happend in that clip happend to me the other day! it was just like that, i was sweeping the floor and bam we were in full swing!
