Saturday, Feb. 14 - The Princess Bride & Ready, Willing and Able

The Princess Bride

...groan... At least the beer was good.

Ready, Willing and Able (1937)

Musical play writers Ross Alexander (as Barry Granville) and Lee Dixon (as Pinky Blair) work out a song and dance while their pants are being pressed. The enthusiastic duo may have a tuneful Broadway hit on their hands. A backer mandates they hire an English actress to star, and agent Allen Jenkins (as J. Van Courtland) goes to pick her up. But Mr. Jenkins accidentally signs similarly named Ruby Keeler (as Jane Clarke), putting the show in jeopardy - she's no actress, but she is "Ready, Willing and Able".
