TILL THE CLOUDS ROLL BY


MY VIEW:
I went to the movie with my girlfriend to the RITZ theater . On Mondays they have SLIVER SCREEN DAY, (old Black and White movies) It cost me $2.00 admission and I got a free popcorn and drink! This was too good of a deal to pass up!
I really enjoyed this movie. It was a wonderful storyline with many cameo appearances by well known actors and actresses.
I love the old movies mostly because they are uplifting and clean movies to watch. I especially like the musical types.
SYNOPSIS:
Beginning on December 27, 1927 with the opening night of Kern's masterpiece Show Boat, the film flashes back in time to the 'early days' with Kern (Robert Walker) a struggling songwriter, receiving platitudinous counsel from earnest Van Heflin who implores him not to waste his time on 'little tunes' but to 'think big.' Which is exactly what the aspiring composer does, going from one success to another, marrying along the way and, at one point, offering advice of his own to Heflin's stagestruck daughter (Lucille Bremer) who throws a tantrum when a number he has written for her is given to Marilyn Miller (Judy Garland) instead."- Clive Hirschhorn, The Hollywood Musical

SYNOPSIS:

Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is the CEO of Stark Industries which produces advance weapon systems for the U.S. military. Tony's father started the company after WWII, and after his death Tony inherited the company, worth billions. Tony lives the life as a hard drinking, rich playboy ladies man, but he is also a genius who has invented many high-tech items for the company. Tony flies to Afghanistan to demonstrate a new weapons test to the army. On his way back to his plane, his convoy is attacked by terrorists, and Tony is wounded by a Stark Industries missile. Tony is captured and held hostage in a cave with Raza (Faran Tahir), a doctor who saves his life. The terrorists force Tony and Raza to reproduce the new destructive Jericho missile Tony was demonstrating from parts of other weapons. Instead, Tony decides to build a suit of armor with Razas help. The suit gives Tony the strength and protection to be able to escape the terrorists. Back in America, Tony builds a better suit of armor which gives him superhuman strength with the ability to fly. With the help of his personal assistant Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) and Jim Rhodes (Terrence Howard), Tony vows to protect the world as Iron Man.
