Not a Good Musical. A Bad Melodrama
13 August 2012
Vincente Minnelli made some of the best musical movies ever. He also fathered LIsa Minnelli. He was a womanizer of a peculiar type, one that loved women of a stronger personality than His own. In the Musical this is an advantage, The vast majority of Musical are a deserved homage to females. They always win.. REgarding the melodramas is another story. Considering just two, "The Bad and the Beautiful" and "Two weeks in another Town" they show week Men dominated by stronger Women. I cannot understand why Kirk Douglas accepts to be dominated By ex-wife Cyd Charisse and Edward G. Robinson by a nagging bitch Claire Trevor.

The recently deceased Gore Vidal would certainly provide an explanation, but he was homosexual. I do nor believe Vincente Minelli was one, even if Wikipedia makes some allusions to that.

Minelly was of Solar sign Pisces. In my small experience as Astrologer, all Pisces men are great bachelor Artists (e.g. Ravel) or servants to strong women. Mala Sorte...
