Would You Rather: Classic Movies Edition Cordy's Answers | Month of Classics Blog Party

Okay, it's my turn! :D

~Would you rather dance with Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly?~

Fred. He makes it look so effortless and easy. And I KNOW it's not. But there's just something about Fred Astaire's style that appeals to me just a little more than Gene's. 

~Would you rather star opposite Cary Grant or Gregory Peck?~

*choking at the thought* I dunno know. How am I supposed to figure that out? I mean, I would be star-struck by both of them so that's not a situation I find very pleasant. I don't know about the rest of you but this might be the second hardest question for me. (The hardest is yet to come.) Umm, let's say I do a comedy with Cary Grant where I don't have to keep my cool very often. Yeah, let's go with that. 

On second thought....

~Would you rather be serenaded by Howard Keel or Bing Crosby?~

And what if I don't want to be serenaded? Thus, the game Cordy. Uh-huh. Well, I guess Bing Crosby because I'd prefer his voice...in this situation. 

~Would you rather share an airplane ride with Danny Kaye or Donald O'Connor?~

I like the idea of an airplane ride because there's a little more time and the environment is a little more relaxed. I just don't know which one I'd choose. Umm, we'll go with Danny Kaye. I think he'd be a guy I could either talk to or be silent with. (Mostly the silent part, I'm sure!)

~What classic movie outfit would you steal?~ (No you cannot say all of them! ;))

Lots! But I'd want to steal the scenarios they were in too! Is that allowed? Oh wait, I make the rules, of course it's allowed. *proud smirk at my cleverness* Okay, so let me think... Ah, I have it, I'd love Millie's patchwork skirt/outfit, in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. But, can I have her outfit and still end up with Benjamin. Now that is the real question here. ;)

I know this is a bad picture but it's really the best I could find. How sad :(

~Would you rather be cast in a classic noir film or a classic western?~

Western. I'd like the atmosphere a little better. There'd still be drama but I'm more of a country girl than an inner city girl that seems to get most of the noir action. And there's a better chance there'd be a horse involved in a Western. Sure, there'd probably be a cowboy or two but I'd really like the horses! (Hmm, I just thought, Gregory Peck was in a western or two...hmmm, maybe I could be in The Big Country with him. Just not starring opposite him. ;))

~Would you rather go on a shopping spree with Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelly?~

Grace Kelly. While I like Audrey I think I like Grace's overall style just a little bit more. Like, just a little bit more.

I've always loved this outfit of hers from High Society

~Would you rather solve a mystery with William Powell or Myrna Loy?~

William Powell, purely for the facial expressions.

~Would you rather imitate Jimmy Stewart's voice in front of Jimmy Stewart, or imitate Maureen O'Hara's "temper" in front of Maureen O'Hara?~
This, my dear friends, is the hardest question for me. Meeting these two people would be hard enough without attempting an impression. But the fact that I'd have to do an impression. Are you for kidding me?! Bah! Alright, I must remain calm. Or not really calm because I think I'd much rather do an impression of Maureen O'Hara's temper. I'm terrible at voices. I can't imitate anyone in that way. But I might be able to tap into some of the Irish in me and imitate the "temper" that Maureen O'Hara acts out.

HA, I made it! Tell me before you leave, which was the hardest question for you to answer?

Yours truly,
Cordy
