Busby Berkeley choreographed several dance numbers. Bobby Van performed the memorable "Street Dance", in which he hopped all around town. The film features song performances by Nat King Cole. The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song, "My Flaming Heart", with music by Nicholas Brodszky and lyrics by Leo Robin. PlotRick Belrow Livingston (Farley Granger), in love with self-obsessed Broadway star Lisa (Ann Miller), is sentenced to 30 days in jail for speeding through a small town. Quite by accident, he meets the daughter of the judge, Cindy Kimbell (Jane Powell). He persuades her to let him out for one night, so that he can visit Lisa on the premise he is seeing his "poor sick mother" (Billie Burke) on her birthday. After tracking him down and bringing him back to town, Cindy starts to fall for Livingston, but Dr. Schlemmer (S. Z. Sakall) wants her to marry his son (Bobby Van) even though he desperately wants a career on Broadway. Cast
Production notesCountry music star Hank Williams was reportedly offered the bit role of the sheriff by MGM producer Joe Pasternak, which he turned down. The part eventually was played by Jonathan Cott. Shortly after, Williams actually met with MGM's president, Dore Schary, to discuss other offers besides Small Town Girl, but Williams was "disrespectful" upon meeting - including refusing to take his hat off - and that was the end of Williams' chances for motion picture appearances. Both of these events are dramatized as one incident in the 2015 film, I Saw the Light.[3] Williams died in January 1953, three months before Small Town Girl was released. ReceptionAccording to MGM records the film made $1,365,000 in the U.S. and Canada and $762,000 elsewhere, resulting in a loss of $287,000.[1] LegacyIn recent years, the "Jumping Song" performed by Bobby Van has been referenced in commercials and music videos, including one for Goldfrapp's song "Happiness", in which a happy man jumps through the streets, shaking hands with people and playing with garbage can lids. Peter Wolf also recreated the scene the music video for his 1987 song "Come As You Are". Hugh Jackman, in the 2014 Tony Awards, hopped in his intro and referenced Bobby Van's dance by viewing it on a TV backstage.[4] References1. ^1 2 {{Citation | title = The Eddie Mannix Ledger | publisher = Margaret Herrick Library, Center for Motion Picture Study | place = Los Angeles}}. 2. ^'The Top Box Office Hits of 1953', Variety, January 13, 1954 3. ^{{cite book |last=Koon |first=George William |date=2002 |title=Hank Williams, So Lonesome |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fPMlrotQFbcC&pg=PA57&lpg=PA57&dq=Small+Town+Girl++hank+williams+mgm&source=bl&ots=c0PeRveADZ&sig=R4RZ2l_vHtzrva4czlbMDH5hu4k&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi0wOuc753SAhUIxYMKHQ-3BnMQ6AEIMzAD#v=onepage&q=Small%20Town%20Girl%20%20hank%20williams%20mgm&f=false |location= |publisher=University Press of Mississippi |page=57 |isbn= 978-1578062836 |author-link= }} 4. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.npr.org/blogs/monkeysee/2014/06/09/320298048/hugh-jackman-jumps-tony-viewers-say-what|title=Hugh Jackman Jumps; Tony Viewers Say, 'What?'|author=Linda Holmes|date=June 9, 2014|newspaper=NPR}} External links
