		The son of a producer and MGM executive, and a mother who was one of the Mooney Sisters in vaudeville, George Sidney worked his way up from messenger boy to director of numerous MGM musical hits--at one point 15 consecutive box office winners.
		Though his artistry is not as renowned as Vincente Minnelli, Stanley Donen and Busby Berkeley, Sidney can lay claim to having directed such classic musicals as "Anchors Aweigh" (1945) "The Harvey Girls" (1946), the 1951 remake of "Show Boat" and "Bye Bye Birdie" (1962).
		He went on to direct Esther Williams in her first starring vehicle, "Bathing Beauties" (1944), and helped pioneer the combination of live action and animation in "Anchors Aweigh" (1945), notably in the now classic sequence in which Gene Kelly dances with a cartoon Jerry the Mouse.

	Independent, The (London): Obituary: George Sidney
		The resulting mock love-dance with a mop was a highlight of the film and in Sidney's next movie with the dancer, Anchors Aweigh (1945), Kelly was given free rein with the numbers, which included such classic routines as the famed dance with the cartoon Jerry the Mouse.
		Sidney followed this triumph with a swashbuckler that also rates with the best, Scaramouche (1952), with Stewart Granger an irresistibly flamboyant hero, and Eleanor Parker and Janet Leigh doing some of their best work as superbly contrasted leading ladies.
		Sidney maintained a sweeping pace culminating in a breathtaking seven- minute duel inside a theatre, the protagonists leaping and swinging across theatre seats, boxes, balcony ledges and staircases as they thrust and parry with their swords.

		George Sidney was one of the few directors able to work with both musical units drawing on the talents of Gene Kelly, Judy Garland and many more to craft some of the most lavish musicals-including Show Boat (1951) and Jupiter's Darling (1955) --which made the Dream Factory what it was.
		George Sidney joined Freed's ranks along with the most prestigious and prominent directors at the studio, including Vincente Minnelli, Charles Waters, Roy Del Ruth and Norman Taurog.

		George Sidney directed many popular Hollywood films, including Anchors Aweigh, Show Boat, Kiss Me Kate, and Viva Las Vegas.
		Despite their commercial success, Sidney's films seldom received critical acclaim, and his many other contributions to the industry remain unknown and unheralded.
		In this first serious, full-length study of Sidney's life and work, Monder reassesses Sidney's critical reputation, arguing that he was a cinematic iconoclast who created mainstream films with a strikingly modern sensibility.

		If the name "George Sidney" doesn't instantly ring a bell as a "legendary director," perhaps you fast-forwarded through the credits.
		The quintessential director of MGM musicals, Sidney demonstrated his knack for bigger-than-life, song-filled slices of Americana in such classics as The Harvey Girls (with Judy Garland and Cyd Charisse) and Anchors Aweigh (pairing Gene Kelly and with Jerry the cartoon mouse in a joyous, groundbreaking dance number).
		I had an uncle, George Sidney, whom I was named for, who was a comedian and used to write his own shows; he even did a series of films later on.

		George Sidney was one of the favourite directors of the "B" Unit with a reputation for getting excellent results with sparser resources, such as time and money.
		One of the hallmark of Sidney helmed films is that everyone seems to be having a good time and Kiss Me Kate is an excellent example of this.
		That the film version of Kiss Me Kate lacks the bite of the stage version is because of puritanical censorship codes that were rigorously enforced until well into the 1960's, and cannot be blamed on the film's creative team.
