"Louisiana Purchase! I'll Tell You What It Means! It Means I Wanna Sell You New Orleans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Girls, isn't this the height of Forties fashion. How I would have loved to have been one of these chorines on the Paramount lot, (with the strict understanding that this is merely a loan out from MGM!!!!!!!!!!) going wild, with the title song of the Irving Berlin musical, "Louisiana Purchase!!!!!!!!!!!"
Bob Hope is in this movie, and isn't this where he does a filibuster, where he reads the entire text of Margaret Mitchell's "Gone With The Wind." The sequence is carefully edited; I would have loved to hear him do "As God is my witness............"
I wouldn't mind owning New Orleans, either, though, with the possibility of another Katrina out there, I would think twice about moving there. Not to mention use as a Winter retreat, as the heat in Summer in unbearable.
Unless is born in the South, which I sure as hell was not!
I was born in a trunk, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
