A lovely film; one of the better song-and-dance numbers must include ‘A Couple of Swells’. I couldn’t help but notice that the film is set in 1912—the year of all things Titanic. How accurate are the clothing styles and mannerisms, I wondered, while watching the TCM broadcast last night. Are there still Easter Parades down New York’s Fifth Avenue?
I'd forgotten it was set in 1912. Don't think those Easter parades do happen any more but I have never been in NYC over Easter so need to find out from someone who has. Completely agree about A Couple of Swells. Every time I see it I notice something new about the routine. A joy.
