Watched Romance on the High Seas on TCM last night. I admired its 100% Art Deco design. Most of the sets and costumes were in white and variegated shades of gray-- except for the albeit studio-set "locations" in Havana, Trinidad, and Rio; the reason I suspect that they were studio sets is that they were also in variegated shades of gray and were sung and danced in, and the only way to control sound at the time was to shoot on a sound set. It is a Doris Day starrer. Yes, it was magic.

Still up and un-sleepy after that, and so I also watched Luxury Liner, one of Jane Powell's best films because in it she showed her wide range of musical talent. Young people may turn up their noses at Jane Powell today, but, the truth is, there will never be another Hollywood star like her.
