Old Movie Day

I love old movies.  I love the singing, I love the dancing, I love the acting.  I love the fact that there is no cussing, no nude scenes, or sex scenes.  That I don't have to worry about my kids watching them with me.    I ordered a few of my favorites on DVD and since we were having a very quiet at home Sunday, (we are still sick)  Mom got her choice of movies while the kids watched with her. 



Today's Choices were Please Don't Eat the Daisies with Dorris Day.  And High Society with Grace Kelly, Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra.   I started thinking about how many peopl have probably never heard of these incredible preformers, let alone seen any of their movies. 
I decided that maybe I would start sharing a little bit about some of my favorie older movies.   Some of you may love these titles.    So here goes :

High Society is a fun semi musical (they don't sing all the way through it) Also has Louis Armstrong on it.  About a woman who is getting married for the second time, but her first husband lives right next door.  It is really fun and entertaining. I have loved this one since I was young.

Please Don't Eat the Daisies- is about a family living in New York, he becomes a famous critic, she wants to move to the country with their 4 kids. (can you imagine 4 kids in a 2 bedroom apartment in New York?)  There is only one song in it, which is the title of the movie.  But I'll give you a hint, one of their kids eats daisies on one of their first days in the counrty.   

Both my girls loved the movies, the boys were in and out.    Who knows what tomorrow will bring. :)
