A great story. But my favorite sequence in THE BAND WAGON will always be “Dancing in the Dark,” which I find even more sexually charged than “Shall We Dance?”as discussed here last week.
It’s also the focus of a classic story in the Frankos-Turtledove household. The scene: summer, several years ago. A baseball game is on tv. I also happen to know that TCM is showing THE BAND WAGON. How well do I know this movie? I ask Harry to switch to TCM. “okay, but why?” he asks. “Because ‘Dancing in the Dark’ is about to begin.” He clicks the remote, and there are Fred and Cyd, heading off in that horse-drawn carriage, right on time.
My spouse stares at me. “How did you know that?”
Oh, I may have seen this one a few times. 😄
