James Booker performing “On the Sunny Side of the Street”. _____________________________ On the Sunny Side of the Street Music by Jimmy McHugh; Lyrics by Dorothy Fields

Grab your coat and get your hat, leave your worry at the doorstep Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street Can't you hear that pitter pat and that happy tune is your step Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade with those blues on parade But I'm not afraid 'cause this rover, crossed over

If I never had a cent I'll be as rich as Rockfeller Gold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the street

With those blues on parade Because this rover, it crossed over

If I never had a cent I'll be as loaded as old Rockfeller With that gold dust 'round my feet On the sunny side of the street On the side, at that side of the street that is sunny

Muppet Mainstage November 10th, 2023

“I Won’t Dance” was originally written for the 1934 musical Three Sisters, by Jerome Kern, Oscar Hammerstein II and Otto Harbach. A year later the lyrics were rewritten by Dorothy Fields and Jimmy McHugh for the film Roberta. The updated version of the song made its first appearance in the George Burns episode of the Muppet Show (season 2, episode 10).

The song starts out seemingly as the “at the dance” segment of the Muppet Show. And then as Miss Piggy (Frank Oz) chases Kermit (Jim Henson) around the dance floor, they sing the song together. Kermit argues why he won’t dance, and Piggy argues why he should dance with her.

Let's get lost Lost in each other's arms Let's get lost Let them send out alarms

And though they'll think us rather rude Let's tell the world we’re in that crazy mood

Let's defrost in a romantic mist Let's get crossed off everybody's list To celebrate this night we've found each other Let's get lost

Oh Let's get lost

Cannes Film Festival, May 2001. One year on from his success with In the Mood for Love, Wong is invited back to give what the festival calls a ‘Leçon de cinéma’ but what you or I would call a sit-down Q&A with Gilles Ciment. The text of their conversation is usefully printed in Peter Brunette’s book Wong Kar-wai (Urbana and Chicago: University of Illinois Press, 2005). Before the session, Wong screens a previously unseen short film: In the Mood for Love 2001, again starring Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung. He says that it was shot before he made the feature, over two days and nights in Hong Kong, and was based on one of the original ideas for Summer in Beijing. 

I saw this short only once, some fifteen years ago, and didn’t take notes – so I don’t remember it that clearly. It has never been released on DVD or Blu-ray, possibly because Wong didn’t clear the rights to use Bryan Ferry’s version of the Jimmy McHugh–Dorothy Fields song ‘I’m in the Mood for Love’ on the soundtrack. (However, there is a music video for the Bryan Ferry cover version on YouTube which uses shots and out-takes from In the Mood for Love and is credited to Wong and Jet Tone.) I recall that the short was set entirely in a 7/11 convenience store, that its plot hinged on a bet of some sort about food, and that it was very amusing. Most likely it will never be shown again, although its slim storyline was inflated to become the basis for Wong’s My Blueberry Nights.

Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire in Roberta (William A. Seiter, 1935) Cast: Irene Dunne, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Randolph Scott, Helen Westley, Claire Dodd, Victor Varconi, Luis Alberni, Ferdinand Munier, Torben Meyer, Adrian Rosley, Bodil Rosing. Screenplay: Jane Murfin, Sam Mintz, Allan Scott, Glenn Tryon, based on a play by Otto A. Harbach and a novel by Alice Duer Miller. Cinematography: Edward Cronjager. Art direction: Van Nest Polglase, Carroll Clark. Film editing: William Hamilton. Music: Jerome Kern, Max Steiner. If Roberta is less well-known than most of the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers movies, it's partly because it was out of circulation for a long time after 1945, when MGM bought up the rights to the film and the Broadway musical on which it was based, planning to remake it in Technicolor as a vehicle for Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra. That plan fell through, and the actual remake, Lovely to Look At (Mervyn LeRoy, 1952) with Kathryn Grayson, Howard Keel, Red Skelton, and Marge and Gower Champion, is nothing special. But MGM's hold on the property meant that, unlike the other Astaire-Rogers films, it didn't show up on television until the 1970s. But it was also a kind of throwback to the first of their movies, Flying Down to Rio (Thornton Freeland, 1933), in that they weren't the top-billed stars of Roberta, and their plot is secondary to that of the star, Irene Dunne, and her leading man, Randolph Scott. It doesn't matter much: What we remember from the film are the great Astaire-Rogers dance numbers, "I'll Be Hard to Handle," "I Won't Dance," and the reprises of "Lovely to Look At" and "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes." Scott's inability to sing resulted in the big number for his character in the Broadway version, "You're Devastating," being cut from the song score of the movie. "I Won't Dance" was brought in from another Jerome Kern musical, and Kern and Jimmy McHugh composed that fashion-show/beauty-pageant classic "Lovely to Look At," with lyrics by Dorothy Fields, for the film, earning Roberta its only Oscar nomination. Except when Astaire and Rogers are doing their magic, the film is a little draggy, and Dunne and Scott strike no sparks. Look for a blond Lucille Ball, draped in a feathery wrap, as one of the models in the fashion show.
