April Prompt
A scene with a cake in book or film
This was a particularly difficult prompt to think on because the only story that was coming to mind was Anne Shirley's prize winning cake company mention in her story article. However there was no actual cake at all. I figured that the hysterical scene of Kathy Selden jumping out of the fake cake from Singin' In the Rain (1952) was a better fit.
As a kid I was always mystified at this scene because I couldn't figure out how Kathy got into a real cake! All things considered I enjoy how this becomes Don and Kathy's second meeting after he hitched a ride in her car an hour before. It's clear that after their first meeting Don is taken with the young chorus girl, but the party scene really allows Kathy to showcase her stage presence in singing, dancing and engaging with the audience. Don knows that he has found somebody with quality talent. A talent that will eventually save his career.
Mwahaha, I LOVE this scene! And how she throws the cake at Lina. And how when Don eventually finds Kathy, Cosmo quips "We've been looking in ever cake in town." XD Excellent choice!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's always been a favorite of mine too
DeleteYay, I'm so glad you did this one!! Great choice and it's making me want to rewatch it sometime soon. I forget how funny those early scenes are. (And I hadn't thought of the Anne / baking powder episode, but that's also hilarious. xD)
