More info: hexbear.net/post/3471120\n\nWe’ve got 2 sets of movies by 2 directors, but since their films aren’t meant to go together, we’ll watch one from each for the next two Tuesdays. First is Lewis Seiler who (including shorts) made at least 90 films. While he probably did his best work before sound with films such as the lost Girls Gone Wild, we’ll instead be looking at what he churned out to satisfy the studios with Carmen Miranda musicals.\n\nAfter that we’ll get Byambasuren Davaa’s masterpiece, The Story of the Weeping Camel today, with The Cave of the Yellow Dog next week. She’s only made four films so far, so who knows whether she’s warming up or washed up. Let’s hope for the former.\n\n## If I’m Lucky (1946)\n\n1h18m43s, English with hardcoded English subtitles\nDirector: Lewis Seiler\n\nThis is kitsch with a knockout cast. Phil Silvers is the overactive band leader for the film, but the real-life leader **Harry James** _and_ His Orchestra do the actual work along with singing by **Carmen Miranda** and a ridiculously young **Perry Como** (ask your grandparents who he was). Oddly (for this sort of musical) the plot involves dirty politics.\n\n## The Story of the Weeping Camel (2003)\n\n1h27m06s , Mongolian with hardcoded English subtitles\nDirectors: Byambasuren Davaa & Luigi Falorni\n\nSynopsis: A meditative look at yurt life wherein a first-time mother camel rejects her newborn and the humans must worry about said colt.\n\n# Content Warnings\n\n**If I’m Lucky** : U.K. rated A, U.S. passed\nno ratings (yet) from imdb nor www.doesthedogdie.com/media/92904, but from memory: copaganda\n\n**The Story of the Weeping Camel** : U.S. PG, U.K. rated U\nSex & Nudity: Mild\nViolence & Gore: Mild\nAlcohol, Drugs & Smoking: Mild\nFrightening & Intense Scenes: Mild\nfrom www.doesthedogdie.com/media/12222\nsad animal\nbaby cries\nblood/gore (brief – camel birth)\nshaving/cutting (wool/hair)\n\n**Blorping begins @ 4:00pm EDT/20:00 UTC**\nblorp.bot.nu/o/visual_cuisine\n**Remember: everyone should use a VPN for blorptube and any peertube.**\n\n# letterboxd\n\nletterboxd.com/film/if-im-lucky/\nletterboxd.com/…/the-story-of-the-weeping-camel/\n\n# movie links\n\n  * 5:00pm EDT/21:00 UTC - If I’m Lucky: tankie.tube/w/g49wbMPn9R2vfTmvGycQ7C\n  * 6:30pm EDT/22:30 UTC - Weeping Camel: tankie.tube/w/bNJy1w2gpxCHbncEDt4n1G\n\n",
