Description
Screwball comedies heralded a new area of emancipation in the 1930s: strong, sexy, funny, beautiful, adventurous women entered the stage - uniting glamour and emancipation. `Talkies' were still young, and a generation of young actresses was hungry to show everything they`d got - like speaking, singing and dancing - talents that didn`t count in the days of silent film. These screwball comedy mos were spirited, subtly humorous, and peopled by women who had everything the female audience could dream of: repartee, intelligence, sex appeal, success. They dazzled with wordplay and repartee, mingled with a sexiness born of self-confidence. Thirties and forties Screwball Comedies are still among the finest, that`s why so many remakes are produced. The songs on this CD reflect that spirit: famous Hollywood legends and extraordinary singers from 1927-1959: Featuring: * Pearl Bailey * Ginger Rogers * Boswell Sisters * Doris Day * Marilyn Monroe * Andrews Sisters * Betty Hutton * Sophie Tucker * Mae West * Kay Starr * Billie Holiday * Peggy Lee * Josephine Baker * Peggy King * Rita Hayworth * Shirley Bassey * Mamie van Doren * Rosemary Clooney * Eartha Kitt * Mitzi nor * Carmen Miranda & The Andrews Sisters * Marlene Dietrich * Jean Harlow * Julie London *
