Lights. Camera. Action
When I was a teenager, Turner Classic
Movies launched their channel as TNT in India for the first time and the movies featured here were
literally a huge feast for movie lovers like me who until then had largely
viewed only Bollywood Hindi movies.
Suddenly the entire idea of watching
a movie changed for me as I lapped up great classics like, Casablanca, Dr Zhivago, Gone with the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Ben-Hur and
many others including The West Side
story, The Three Musketeers, A Streetcar named Desire, The Alphabet murders, Poltergeist.
Then came the “Gene Kelly “wave and
that swept me off my feet.
Day in and out, I hummed and tapped
to Gene’s numbers from-Me and my Gal,
Anchors Away, On the Town, Summer Stock, An American in Paris and of course,
Singin’ in the Rain. I was in love with
Gene Kelly as I had never imagined a man could dance as gracefully as a woman
without looking effeminate.
Awesome!!!Keep up the good work!!
