The White (Zombie) Visitation

[Scott Badger]

You're probably right, though an odd list of favorites.....when I looked at 
the passage a couple days ago, I thought it was Osbie's first time seeing 
Dumbo when he had the hallucination and left half way through, which seemed 
to make it unlikely as a favorite....On re-reading it though, I see that 
it's just a recent viewing where the hallucination occured, but probably not 
the first time he's seen the movie. (btw,

Not sure about the wing-walking chorus line, but IMDb sez that Down to Rio 
was the first time Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire got together. Also, and 
maybe more to the point, it was made before the institiution of the Hayes 
Code and, therefore, censure.  "What have those girls got below the equator 
that we haven't got?"
