And now, presenting... the textual movie trailer of the century!
You know Fred Astaire. You know Cole Porter. But have you seen them do Russia??
SILK STOCKINGS!
Be shocked, appalled, and amazed at this musical comedy adventure as you see blatant stereotypes of Capitalist America, Communist Russia, and, of course, Women!
Outstanding choreography!
A testament to 1957 American mentality!
Starring Fred Astaire, with Cyd Charisse, Janis Paige... and PETER LORRE! Yes, Peter Lorre, singing and dancing! WE KID YOU NOT!
Marvel at the inconsistent Russian accents!
Gasp at the risque sexual innuendos!
With such memorable music and dance numbers like "Satin and Silk," "When We're Sent to Dear Siberia," and "We've Got the Red Blues!" It's Cole Porter at his very best!*
IMDB gives it 6.9 out of 10 stars!
Such a combination of music, comedy, and political incorrectness nowadays can only come from the makers of Family Guy and South Park! This is a gem!
Watch SILK STOCKINGS today!!
OR... Read the libretto! Straight from a Russian Website! (Be sure to read "Satin and Silk!")
You have not lived until you have experienced SILK STOCKINGS! Catch it on TCM!
*The opinion of Cole Porter's work in this film is highly debatable and does not necessarily reflect the views of this livejournal user.
