Born to Dance (1936)
10/10
Cole Porter + Jimmy Stewart = GREAT!
17 March 2006
There have been some really favorable comments made about this wonderful musical, but in my opinion none has really done it justice. It contains one of the most inventive scores Cole Porter ever composed, fully up to his great Broadway shows. Such standards as "Easy to Love" and "I've Got You Under My Skin" everyone knows, but the unknown gems include the fantastic "Hey, Babe, Hey," the delightful "Rolling Home" and "Rap Tap on Wood," and the insane and memorable "Love Me, Love My Pekingese." Aside from the great score, there's the terrific dancing and personality of Eleanor Powell, the funny supporting cast, and most of all the unique musical style of the greatest of all movie stars, James Stewart, who gives one of his most charming performances.
