Today wraps up the posts about my recent Vincente Minnelli Marathon. I hope you got at least a taste of the director’s wide-ranging filmography. This was one of my most rewarding cinematic deep dives because I got to really immerse myself in the films of the 40s and 50s, two decades I haven’t explored nearly enough.
My final clip comes from Minnelli’s first film, the 1943 all-Black musical Cabin in the Sky. The beautiful Lena Horne appears in the film as Georgia Brown, the town’s notorious temptress, and ‘Honey in the Honeycomb’ is one of her two musical numbers.
