Curiosidades
This is a rare instance of Virginia O'Brien smiling on camera; she explains to Martin Block that she adopted the deadpan face because "It just comes second-nature to me."

Citações
Virginia O'Brien: That was my introduction to the movies - all in my imagination, of course.

Decent Entry in the MGM Series

Musical Merry-Go-Round #4 (1948)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

This fourth entry in the MGM series once again starts off in Martin Block's office as Virginia O'Brien walks in as he's doing his show. The two do some small talk before things switch over to the music with Les Brown and His Orchestra doing four different songs (Leap Frog, Swamp Fire, Meixcan Hat Dance, Sentimental Journey) and then Bruce does Carry Me Back to Old Virginny. As with the other film in the series that I watched, this one here features Block basically sitting around going his job and introducing music that he'd typical play during his show. The only difference is this short gives us a chance to actually see the acts. If you're a fan of this type of music the you'll certainly want to check this out as Brown was clearly one of the more impressive musicians from this period. I've seen some of his other work and he always came off rather good with the band doing great work on some familiar numbers. Sentimental Journey isn't a rare song by any stretch of the imagination but they breathe some fresh life into it. O'Brien isn't too bad either as her voice is in fine shape and she's certainly easy on the eyes.
