So, we have a few more pages just about done on the filmography today. They are: Flying Down to Rio, The Gay Divorcee, Funny Face, Ghost Story, Holiday Inn, Babes on Broadway (added), and Pal Joey. Most are under Fred Astaire’s filmography.
Woo hoo! Five people voted in the poll. Hopefully next time more people shall find the blog. Unexcited by the small response, I’ve delayed the project some more. Today, however, the Babes on Broadway page shall be completed along with Hollywood Hotel pages for Dick Powell and Rosemary Lane.
I decided that I’m never going to finish the filmography pages if I don’t have any encouragement, so I thought it would be grand to have a special section to keep both you and I up to date on filmography progress and other special projects.
First things first–usually I start with Judy Garland, Alice Faye, or Don Ameche. I have no idea why, but this time I started with Judy. I want the photo galleries to be more dynamic, so I’ve added Lightbox, javascript, which you may recognize from many sites lately–I still need to revise the CSS for the galleries and such to make everything look a little more decent, but enough with the tech talk.
Most of the Garland pages were done over a year ago, but I abandoned the project for many reasons and didn’t have some of Judy’s films converted to DVD yet, so I thought it might be better to wait for useful captures as I think it adds a bit to the page.
Work still needs to be done on the following for various reasons:
Broadway Melody of 1938
Thoroughbreds Don’t Cry
Everybody Sing
Babes in Arms
Strike Up the Band
Little Nellie Kelly
Babes on Broadway
Girl Crazy
Ziegfeld Girl
Easter Parade
A Star is Born
Pepe
If I Forget You
Seems like a lot, but most of it is just little things–need to make thumbnails and collect captures or add a link to amazon for purchase of the film. Going to try to finish these tomorrow. Meanwhile, you can see the mostly complete pages here: http://www.reeljewels.com/garland
Other than updates of where I’m going and what I’ve completed, you’ll also find polls and other goodies here which will influence what will come next.
