UCLA Film and Television Archive’s “Gotta Sing, Gotta Dance: Musicals From Around the World” series continues with two programs. The afternoon film, “Samourai Musical” (“Oshidori Utagassen”) (1939), is a short (one hour and nine minutes) but enchanting Japanese musical about two women, one rich, one poor, in love with the same samurai swordsman. The evening program is a double feature of post-World War II Hungarian musicals--”State Owned Department Store” (“Allami aruhaz”) (1953) and “Singing Makes Life Beautiful” (Dalolva szep az elet”) (1950)--both of which attempt to celebrate the Stalinist social order. (Please note: “Singing Makes Life Beautiful” is in Hungarian and is not subtitled in English.)
