[78-L] Duck, Chico! (was: Lennick's holiday torture)

[Taylor Bowie]

I've always been a little shy about saying I like the MGM Marx movies better 
than Duck Soup,  about which the critics all rave.  I agree with Mr. B about 
"Opera" and "Races."

As far as Wheeler and Woolsey,  I can't seem to click with 'em. 
Although...in "Hips,  Hips.  Hooray!"  right at the beginning you get Ruth 
Etting singing "Keep Romance Alive."  Great tune and performance.  When I 
first saw the movie,  I kept waiting for Ruth to come back but,  like Little 
Sheba,  she never did...

Not sure how the thread started,  but the Shirley Temple movies are loaded 
with fine  music,  not always sung by Shirley either...great scores by 
Gordon & Revel,  Bullock & Spina,  etc.
