from IMDb:

One of the funniest movies of all-time. Danny Kaye's first film. Catapulted him from a virtual unknown to an international super-star. Two songs co-authored by his wife, Sylvia Fine, did the trick for him: "The Lobby Number" and "Melody In 4-F." These two songs put Danny's virtuoso tongue-twisting genius on full display. Danny Kaye plays a hypochondriac who is drafted into the Army in World War II and ends up single-handedly capturing a platoon of Japanese soldiers in the South Pacific while winning the heart of beautiful songstress Dinah Shore. Now, 60 years later, the film remains thoroughly enjoyable, and no other entertainer has emerged who can equal Danny Kaye's extraordinary comedic talents. If I had to make a list of the 10 funniest films ever made, "Up In Arms" would surely be on that list.

With "Bobby Blake", a very young Robert Blake.

As we slog away through the depths of World War II, I thought it was time to lighten up the mood with another special round!

This one was suggested by Oilgun....

Guilty Pleasures

That guilty pleasure movie...the one you watch when you are feeling down, or silly,
or just want to escape into a memory of an old favorite.
The equivalent of a "comfort food" movie.

As always,

1) Unplayed movies only, please. (Check the archive!)
2) Anything from 1944 to 2007 can be played. Please include the movie year after the name, in parentheses.
3) Include a comment on why this movie is a guilty pleasure. What makes it special or memorable?

Questions...send me a message.

Have fun, everyone!

Richard Gere as a guilty pleasure. Do I really need to give any more explanation?
