in honor of Sean Hayes, who just killed it in “Goodnight Oscar” - I knew he could lip sync, but he is a damn fine ##piano player to boot 👑 🎹 🎭

Just rewatched An American In Paris for the first time in years, the restoration, thankfully. What unworldly beauty is in that film. I'm not sure anything else I've seen can compare, and I've seen a LOT of movies from all over the world.

It's the heaviest hitters of the very rich US cultural scene of the 1950s paying homage to their European #Modernist antecedents, and bringing plenty original to bear in the process.

Do give it a look, or a second if you didn't quite get it the first time around. #ClassicFilm #StudioEra #VincenteMinnelli #GeneKelly #LeslieCaron #OscarLevant #MidCentury #Hollywood #Musicals #Gershwin #Dance #Choreography #ProductionDesign

On #OscarLevant Birthday, I'm watching a Joey Bishop episode where the famed pianist, arranger, composer, actor, quiz show panelist, raconteur, nervous wreck guest stars.

My family for many years listened to a US #PublicRadio team quiz programme titled #SaysYou that ended last year. To get my #OscarLevant fix I am listening to the 1930s-40s radio panel quiz program #InformationPlease.
In the June 21 1938 show sports columnist says [Joe] Louis will defeat [Max] Schmeling in their bout the next day (no, surprisingly); some questions are "University Challenge" level hard. Not as funny as "Says You" but a quaint show. #otr #OldTimeRadio
