Title: Re: THE FIRST RUN-THROUGH
Post by: elmore3003 on April 26, 2016, 04:49:00 AM: Last night I fired up the old VCR and watched a video of Patrice Munsel's early TV appearances, mainly from "The Voice of Firestone.". The Fledermaus Laughing Song was televised as early as 1952 or 1953, since the announcer made reference to her just playing the role at the Metropolitan Opera.

While I loved her singing, which was glorious, I found the musical staging for everything a lot of kitsch and silliness. Her Jaspanese drag for "Un bel di" from Madama Butterfly was so silly I couldn't watch. Following that, she and Richard Tucker, both in evening clothes, sang the Butterfly finale to Act One, and it was just glorious. I'd like this broadcast a lot more if it were on CD and could only listen to her.

As for Gil Bellows he has worked a lot since then. Mixing TV and movies appearances. None of the movies well known, but the TV work had a lot of popular series.

Movie: GONE WITH THE WIND or DR. ZHIVAGO (Which is longer?)

In college, I remember going to a marathon screening of Bondarchuk's War and Peace, which is about 9 1/2 hours, if I remember correctly.

Watching the unedited Geaven's Gate during a snowstorm felt longer.

I really don't know what's the longest play I've ever sat through, but I can say that "Hedda Gabler" certainly FELT like the longest play. I only saw it because it starred Annette Benning and I always really liked her.
The longest movie I ever saw was "Reds". It was so long it had an intermission. Nonetheless, I LOVED that movie and I saw it twice in the theater. It was my all time favorite movie for many years.

Ladies and Germs,

A singer friend is trying to locate sheet music for a Sondheim song, "When I Get Famous" from Climb High. I've done some searching and it doesn't seem to reside in any of the usual suspect places. If anyone can help, 'twill be most appreciated.

LOL! I thought you wrote a "single" friend, and I wondered why you were telling us that.

Our neighbors are having a dead tree removed that's just over the fence, so the guys are having to work some from our yard. This crew has done similar work for us, so we trust them. But we don't understand them, because they speak Spanish. Only the boss speaks English.

TOD3: Peer Gynt with Richard Thomas was about six hours long and staged in two parts. I did not see both on the same day.

One of these days, I'd like to do the Ring Cycle.

I watched the entire Ring Cycle that I had recorded on PBS a few years ago...not all in one (or even four) settings, but I got through them all and thoroughly enjoyed the productions. :)
Title: Re: THE FIRST RUN-THROUGH
Post by: George on April 26, 2016, 04:08:19 PM: Otherwise, I've seen several theater shows that are close to or around three hours long. That's about the longest of any that I've seen live. As for movies, I did watch the entire "Gone With the Wind (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0031381/reference)." That was pretty much all in one setting, but with appropriate breaks, though.

I bought the DVD to "1900 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074084/reference)," but I don't remember which cut it is, and I haven't watch all of it...most of it, but not all.

Cataloging them would be much too cumbersome for me. I'm just too lazy. ;) But I don't mind duplicates. And it's such a rare occurrence. Most of the key chains that I have are so unique that I doubt that you even could duplicate something that I already have.
