Being a baby boomer, I loved February when I was a school kid. In those days, we got two weekdays off from school. One federal holiday was for Abraham Lincoln's birthday. The other was for George Washington's birthday. Now they've been lumped together into one day off. Oh, well. That's modern times for you.
Up for some Presidents' Day flavored music? Of course, I've got showtimes for you. Paramount's 1942 musical comedy, HOLIDAY INN, paired Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby in a movie packed with old and new tunes by Irving Berlin. Berlin wrote "White Christmas" for this movie and it brought him the Oscar for Best Song.
I don't know if today's youngsters hear this tale in school, but we were told that little George Washington chopped down a cherry tree and when asked by an adult if he did it, he answered "I cannot tell a lie." He confessed. Here's Astaire, a nightclub entertainer, doing a number on Washington's Birthday. His dance partner is actress Marjorie Reynolds. Fred and Bing play buddies vying for the same lady's affections.
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the president with the constantly traveling humanitarian wife named Eleanore, started serving his third term when YANKEE DOODLE DANDY was released. James Cagney, who shot to fame as the cold-blooded killer gangster in 1931's THE PUBLIC ENEMY, won the Best Actor Oscar for playing famed Broadway song and dance showman, George M. Cohan. The movie came out during the WW2 years. In it, Cagney as Cohan does a Broadway musical spoof of President FDR.
In the 1972 film version of the Broadway musical hit, 1776, Howard Da Silva played Benjamin Franklin, William Daniels was John Adams and tall Ken Howard was Thomas Jefferson. The men were working to draft the Declaration of Independence. William Daniels and Ken Howard played future U.S. presidents. Both actors were future presidents of the Screen Actors Guild.
Happy Presidents' Day.
