All yours! 🙂
Never been big on musicals but I notice one of my few favorites is an MGM musical. Victor/Victoria.
Are you planning on writing about it? 🙂
That’s the plan.
Fabulous! All yours!
Hi Annette. I would love to write about “The Wizard Of Oz” ( 1939 ). Thanks.
All yours!
I’d like to write about Three Little Words (1950) for LA Explorer (http://la-explorer.com/). Thanks!
Such a fun movie! You’ve got it!
Unfortunately, I’m going to need to bow out of the blogathon as I’m going to be out of town. Hopefully next time!
Gotcha. Thanks!
Hi, Annette! Could you put me down for The Band Wagon? The blog is A Shroud of Thoughts at http://mercurie.blogspot.com
Got it! Thanks!
High Society please!
Great! All yours!
It’s taken me DAYS to make a decision, but I’ve finally settled on Hit the Deck (1955). Should be lots of fun!

Fabulous! All yours!
Hi! I think this was the hardest time I’ve ever had of choosing a topic for a blogathon because so many of my favorite musicals are taken and because I’ve already written about a lot of other musicals and musical stars, so I think I’m going to go with an Esther Williams movie that I haven’t seen and write about Duchess of Idaho (1950) for Musings of a Classic Film Addict. Thank you!
Love it! All yours!
I’ll do HALLELUJAH! (1929)
Got it! Thanks!
It was tough to settle, but I would like to write about Sweethearts for your blogathon.
Got it! Thanks!
Hey, Annette! Can I do Seven Brides for Seven Brothers?
I’ll post it at vitaphonedreamer.wordpress.com 🙂
Totally! I’m so glad you chose it! A glaring omission!
This is the perfect opportunity for me to watch The Hollywood Revuew of 1929.
I’m Le from the blog Critica Retro.
Cheers!
Sounds great! All yours!
Hi Annette! May I claim SILK STOCKINGS (1957)? I’m Emily from TheVintageCameo.com . Thank you! 🙂
All yours! Thanks!
I’d like to write about My Fair Lady for Old Hollywood Films. Thanks!
Unfortunately, I think that’s a Warner Bros film. If you want, I can still include it as an honorable mention. Let me know.
My apologies. I’m easily confused these days, especially when it comes to blogathons. If I can, I’ll make the switcheroo to Royal Wedding.
You’ve got it! Thanks!
Hello! Would it be okay if I could write a piece on On an Island With You?

You got it!

Mine will be going up on Sunday (I’ll provide a link then) but I’m also going to be discussing CABIN IN THE SKY, so an MGM two-fer.
Ok, thanks!
