Busch Annapolis Library Summer Film Series Celebrating Movie Musicals
Michael E. Busch Annapolis Library 1410 West Street , Annapolis, Maryland
Movie musicals have been a staple of the film industry since its earliest years. In this series, we’ll watch three of the best, epitomizing the genre at its versatile heights. Join us as we enjoy the genius of Bob Fosse, the elegance of Fred Astaire, and the megawatt star power of Judy Garland. Each film is introduced by area cinephile Ann Glenn with info about the film’s production, director, actors and followed by a Q&A session.
Top Hat (1935) Monday, August 21, 6pm
Critic Roger Ebert observed Top Hat had an “idiot plot” but continued, “there are times when nothing but an Idiot Plot will do and we are happy to play along.” Who cares about plot when Fred and Ginger are beyond transcendent in their dance duos? Includes Lucille Ball in an uncredited appearance as a flower shop clerk
