Since the previous image I posted of Penelope Cruz (here) in Nine was so popular, here is one more of her from this new film.

Because it’s Friday and you have survived the work week… here is a beautiful image of Penelope Cruz in Nine. I nearly saw Penelope Cruz at the Cannes Film Festival this year but timing conflict had me going to last chance screening of what turned out to be my favorite film of 2009, “A Prophet.”

Wonderfully depraved looking James Cagney as Chester Kent surrounded by a bevy of Busby Berkeley girls in Footlight Parade. I don’t know of a more blazing, assured and out right breaking through walls with life and energy performance as shown here by Cagney as Kent. It’s like someone lit his fuse before this one started or he approached it like each day he was working on this project might be his last day on Earth. This is his all-time best performance as far as I’m concerned and the groove he finds himself in here is one that can never be touched or replicated and only admired for generations to come.

This comes from an rare original still I recently acquired that dates back to 1933. I’m extremely proud to present this restored image for fans of the film, Berkeley and Cagney.

One of the great things about the BNAT’s that Harry (@HEADGEEK666) is seeing archival prints of truly great older titles. It’s not often you get the chance to experience Footlight Parade shown on the big screen.

My favorite Busby Berkeley musical of those that I’ve seen and really one of the all-time great scene chomping performances from both James Cagney and Joan Blondell. They are both on fire in this outing. In this rare image we get a glimpse of wild Busby Berkeley style costumes and Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler.
