Three Little Words (1950)
During the golden age, Hollywood made a bunch of biopics that were very loosely based on true events. If that doesn’t bother you, you can check out Three Little Words, about the composing team Bert Kalmar and Harold Ruby. Played by Fred Astaire and Red Skelton, respectively, the film has an extra sweetness to it: Astaire was friends with the real people during their early stage years together!
Fred and Red make a very cute duo, and it’s endlessly funny when Red suggests the same melody to every potential lyric Fred writes – much to Fred’s frustration. He hates the melody and vows to never use it! The leading ladies are Vera-Ellen and Arlene Dahl, so there’s plenty of eye candy for those who love beautiful legs and beautiful faces. There are also tons of recognizable songs (although you might not have known who wrote them), like “I Wanna Be Loved by You” and “Who’s Sorry Now?”
This movie is intentionally light and fluffy, so don’t expect any great tragedies like in normal biopics. It’s just pure entertainment with no backstabs or prolonged illnesses. The only really irritating part of the movie is when Debbie Reynolds performs onstage. Don’t worry, though, if you don’t think she’s adorable; she thinks she’s fantastic enough to still come out on top even if the entire audience hates her.
