Movie Depictions of Boys Clothes: Film Themes--Music


Figure 1.--Films about music are not usually musicals, but have music in them Some of these films are musicals, but most musicals are not really about music. There is a scene in 'Pennies from Heaven' with a unique child orcestra peraforming 'Love is good for anything that ailes you'. The children all emacuately dressed out in white outfits and both dance and play their instruments.

We do not know of may films involving boys about music and musical instruments or t least notable scenes. Surely the most important is 'Amadeus' about Mozart, surely the greatest prodigy in history. But thefilm begins with Mozart already a young man. The 'Glen Miller Story' and the 'Fabulous Dorseys' we think deals extensively with their childhoods. Here there is some overlap with the prodigy page. Here, however, we are talking more about music. Some of these films are musicals, but most musicls are not really about music. There is a scene in 'Pennies from Heaven' with a unique child orcestra performing 'Love is good for anything that ailes you'. The children all emacuately dressed out in white outfits and both dance and play their instruments. Surely there are more pertinent films. we will dd them as they come to us or readers alert them to us.
