How do you do?
Good morning. I’m Betsy Booth.
– I sing, you know.
– I know, I heard you.
You’re Andy Hardy, aren’t you?
This is Barbara Jo. This is Mr. Williams.
Pleased to meet you, Mr. Williams.
Danny, this is my grandchild,
Ms. Ginger Gray.
– Yes, we’ve met.
– This is my cousin, Ms. Polly Williams.
Mr. Daniel Churchill, a junior.
Ms. Barton, this is Ms. Essex,
the once famous “Baby Rosalie.”
How do you do? This is Mickey Moran.
How do you do?
My name’s Williams, Tommy Williams.
What’s yours?
– I don’t think I like you.
– Thank you.
You’re welcome.
– I want success.
– And you’ll have it.
I know you will, Mickey. Just think
when our names are up in electric lights.
You the big composer and producer,
and me the singing star.
We could have our own great
modern dance orchestra.
We’ve got everything we need here.
We’ve got the brass…
…the piano and the reeds.
We can make our own arrangements,
specialties and play for all the dances.
We’ve gotta have a great show
with a million laughs.
And color, a lot of lights to make it sparkle.
And songs, wonderful songs
with you out there selling them.
It’ll be wonderful.
Say, that’s not a bad idea.
We could put on our own show.
That’d be different.
Why, it looks as if you’ll need
a whole city block.
Yeah. Sure, that’s it.
Right in the neighborhood,
and everybody’ll come to it.
A Western rodeo, once a year
we’ll bring back the West.
– Daniel Boone.
– Jesse James, Buffalo Bill.
– A hundred beautiful girls.
– On horseback.
– Glorious costumes, happy, carefree.
– Gay!
I’m gonna write a show for us
right here in Seaport.
It’d be the most up-to-date thing
these hicks around here have seen.
Opening night, we’ll have
Max Gordon and Sam Harris…
…down to give us the once-over.
How about it, kids?
– They call us babes in arms
– We never dance
– They think they must direct us
– But no chance
– But if we’re babes in arms
– High romance
– We’ll make them all respect us
– Why, oh, why
Why have we got our arms
What have we got our sight for?
Play day is done
We’ve a place in the sun
We must fight for
ROONEY: When our movies took off
at the box office…
在影片票房♥上升的同时,
…we found our budgets taking off too.
我们的资金也随之增长
So they moved Judy and I
out of the backyard and into the barn…
所以朱迪和我从后院搬到谷仓
…then to the high school gym…
再搬到学校体育馆
…and later to a Broadway stage
that would never have fit in a real theater.
最后来到百老汇的舞台,
一个任何真实的剧院都无法容纳得了的舞台
Where we got all that energy,
I’ll never know.
我不清楚我们的精力都从哪里来
But a lot of it was inspired
by our director, a genius…
但其中一大部分源于我们的天才导演:
…Busby Berkeley.
布斯比·伯克利
ALL [SINGING]: Small town
Living in a small town
When you’re in a small town
You gotta make friends
– One, two, three
– One, two, three
Watch them shuffling along
See them shuffling along
Go take your best gal
Your real pal
Go down on the levee
I said to the levee
And we’ll join that shuffling throng
Hear that music and song
It’s simply great, mate
Waitin’ on the levee
Waitin’ for the Robert E. Lee
We’re babes on Broadway
We’re goin’ places
When our new faces appear
It’s a wonderful street
For babes like us to be on
We’re here because
We want our names in neon
We left Topeka
We left Eureka
And came to seek a career
Oh, we’re milkin’ applause
Instead of milkin’ a cow
‘Cause we’re babes on Broadway now
With our flag unfurled
We can face the world
Hey, leader
Strike up the band
ROONEY: There’s another fellow
who worked on this lot with Judy…
还有一个人曾在这里和朱迪共事过
…and some of MGM’s best musicals…
米高梅的好些优秀歌♥舞片
…are a direct result
of his considerable talents.
都直接归功于他的过人才能
Gene Kelly.
有请金·凯利
This is MGM’s New York street.
