| (25) The Lady Is A Trump to criticize the social conditions at that time japanese version | ||
|
"Pal Joey" is originally a Broadway musical written by Rodgers & Hart in 1937 and filmed in 1957. The Japanese title was "The Night Panther"...so strange... Sinatra plays a playboy and singer Joey and Lita Heiwers plays a widow of a millionaire in it. Her character is a former strip dancer but acting like a natural born lady. Sinatra sang this song in front of that bitch and rich woman who came to the bar after it closed, very ironically. But I have to tell you not to understand only on the surface. You need to read between the lines.
The real
tendency in those days was oppositely. Rodgers and Hart
wanted to metaphor and criticize that many of those women
liked to dress up too much, go to see the shows after
they already started and have dinners late at night, to
stand out more than other ladies. |
