Krishnamurti and Friends

"Whatever it is, I'm against it."

"A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody"

from

The Great Ziegfield

(1936)

Dennis Morgan is the actor, the

vocal is dubbed in by Alan Jones.

May well be the most extraordinary

musical set pieces in the history

of Hollywood.

Shot in a single take, unedited.

This is the final 3:27 of the piece.

The single shot is over 8 minutes

long but Blogger can't fit it in.

Simply glorious. I have no

idea how they pulled this off.

The "A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody" set

alone was reported to have cost

US $220,000 (US$5,104,317) in

2025 dollars, featuring a towering rotating

volute of 70 ft diameter

with 175 spiral steps, weighing 100 tons.

As many as 180 performers were involved

in the scenes which included singers,

dancers and musicians.
The curtains, made of rayon silk, measured

4,300 yards. Sheldon Hall and

Stephen Neale

note the theatrical sense that the

cinematographers achieved through

shooting the sequence in virtually a

single take. They mention that "the

camera traverses an enormous platform

set contained within a curtained proscenium

(also enormous)", and that the "set itself

revolves to meet the camera, rather than

the camera entering the space

of the set."

TCM has acclaimed the

"A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody" sequence

as one of "the most famous musical numbers

ever filmed".
The film was a major commercial and

critical success and one of the most successful

films of the 1930s, grossing

US $4,673,000

(US $108,420,324 in 2025 dollars)

worldwide at the box office.
"The Great Ziegfeld" won three

Academy Awards, including Best Picture

for producer Hunt Stromberg, Best Actress

for Luise Rainer, and Best Dance Direction

for Seymour Felix, and was nominated

for four others.

"You can prove it's false because
at the end of the day, it
doesn't hold together."

"What we are criticizing is the claim
that a theory is true. What we attempt
to show as critics of a theory is, clearly,
that this claim is unfounded: that
it is false."

(January, 1986 -

one month before his death)

Krishnamurti saw this on the horizon

over a decade before David Icke

published his first book in 1994.

It's a combination of three things

working in tandem . . .

genetic engineering

and computer technology

aspects of this . . .

Kudos to Icke for keeping

this insidious business on

the front burner.

Here's the latest

dystopian nightmare trotting

your way . . . probably to

have sex with your wife.

She'll be texting her girlfriends, telling

them about the wonders of science.

Alastair is the only critic who has pointed
out the Messianic lunacy that lies at
the root of all the madness we're seeing
in both Gaza and Lebanon. It's been
religion from day one. Remember,
there are also 30 million Evangelical
Christian Zionists in the U.S. who are
pickled in this "end-time" quackery.
They are running the foreign policy of
the United States.
Well said, Alastair.
