Due to the death of Bobby Rydell last week...

[Omaha Steve]

Marta and I are watching Bye Bye Birdie tonight. Anybody else remember the movie?

Here is a review of our Blu-Ray: https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Bye-Bye-Birdie-Blu-ray/44894/#Review

Bobby's death makes this a current event, not entertainment.

1. Paul Lynde..lol..that was a looong preview

2. I love musicals, and this one is...

...a favorite.

[blm]

3. Know every song. Heh

I think everyone, fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, grandpas, grandmas, gay, straight….all fell a little bit in love with Ann Margaret then.

4. Our glee club did The Telephone Hour many moons ago.

5. I'd like to see Bye Bye Birdie again. It's been decades ...

It has a great cast, too.

Did you watch this on Netflix, or where? I love old movies, even dating back to the 30's ... great movies from that era.

9. We bought the Blu-Ray years ago

Unfortunately it is out of print.

14. We found a different edition for sale at Amazon

Here it is: https://www.amazon.com/Bye-Bye-Birdie-Blu-ray/dp/B097CYVFWS?tag=bluray-022-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER

6. Yes, and I'm still amused at the Russian dig

Rosie (Janet Leigh) slips one of Albert's (Dick Van Dyke) pills into the orchestra conductor's milk, which speeds up the ballet, amusing the audience, offending the Russians and placing Conrad back on the show to sing "One Last Kiss".

At the very end, Bobby Rydell makes it up to the stage and boops Conrad right in the nose!

7. I was Mrs. MacAfee in our high school rendition. It was a blast!

8. I remember "MAD MEN" used the scene with Ann Margaret to try to recreate an ad campaign and

coincidentally, CBS Sunday Morning did a piece with Ann Margaret a week ago. (She looks amazingly good for her age and still rides her Harley).

But, outside of that scene, I've never seen it.
