Madeline Kahn Monday: Most Gentlemen Don’t Like Love

Eileen Brennan at her absolute blousiest, blousier than Bloomingdale’s on a Tuesday, Tuesday being the day most retailers receive new shipments of inventory. Cybill Shepherd tearfully tap-dancing through her pain. And Madeline – the eternal Madeline – cocking her hips as she belts “JUST KICK HIM OUT OF THE HAY.”

The director’s note for this scene must have been – cannot have been anything but – “sing and dance as if you are all four, but not yet five, drinks into a sad evening.”

    Anybody else feel like blowing off the rest of the day for a Madeline Kahn movie marathon? Pretty please?

      I wish. It’s night over where I live, and a movie marathon is clearly superior to the staring-into-the-dark-for-an-hour I’m about to do.

    I love that there are a couple of little girls standing in a nook in the background, watching and learning.

    Teach your children well…
