Oh the Arts-Illiana newsletter just called me "middle-aged" - what a compliment, I didn't realize most people live to be 124 years old.

Extensive coverage on what was cut out of the film

I don't care about the film score as much as I care about the numbers cut from the Broadway score for the film!

And, DR Ron Pulliam, I think what MGM did to BRIGADOON isa disaster, cutting the score to shreds and losing Loewe's wonderful dance music. If you only know the film and not the Broadway score, then you don't know BRIGADOON.

Now, who does our DR JRand62 look like? He sure reminds me of someone either on tv or 1930s and 40s films. I used to have a memory.

DR Elmore, I think DR JRand kind of looks like William Windom when he played a James Thurber type in a TV series. Can't remember the name of the series...

Listening to the song again. It kind of sounds like this BK fellow knew what the hell he was doing way back then. Even the patter and the piano playing and everything are excellent. Even the orchestra is beautiful.

Isn't that Roger Ebert, back in the day?

I think a better-looking version of comedian Henry Morgan (not the guy from MASH)

Good morning. It is a beautiful day outside today.

I love Milhaud! And Poulenc.

My introduction to Milhaud was playing the piano in "La Creation du Monde". I think we did it a couple of different times during the years at school. Also, Poulenc's "Le Bal Masque". I bought records of all those pieces, and more, and still have them. The RCA "Soria" edition of "Creation" and "Suite Provencal" with the Boston Symphony and Munch has been an audiophile collectible for years, and my little heart bursts with pride and affection when I go to the shelf and see the very copy I bought at Disc Records on Public Square in 1969 or 1970.

Some comments from yesterday notes

DR MBARNUM SAID

I watched a silent version of WIZARD OF OZ which was shot on location. For me, the location shooting removed the magical-ness of the story. It ended up looking like a lot of Halloween trick or treaters wandering about the countryside in a home movie.

Early (very early) silent films were shot outdoors as they didn't have soundstages. One of the reason why film production moved from the east coast to California was the weather. Eventually stages were built.

Indeed many early films used outdoor lighting, but film makers still used sets. George Melies TRIP TO THE MOON was filmed on a set and that was in 1902.

This particular Wizard of Oz film that I referred to was made in 1925 when indoor sets were the norm.

Hello Everyone:

TOD:

DR BK,

What is your favorite movie between 1940 and 1945?

John G. · « **Reply #46 on:** August 07, 2013, 08:18:19 AM »

I think the William Windom comparison is great. Thank you, Ginny. I would have tried to remember his name all day.

I just got an email from our publisher, who is asking my co-author and me to do a new book, "Barbecue Lovers' Guide to Texas." It would take a lot of research and often overnight to places hours and hours away. Don't know what to think yet. And, of course, they want the manuscript quickly.

And, DR Ron Pulliam, I think what MGM did to BRIGADOON isa disaster, cutting the score to shreds and losing Loewe's wonderful dance music. If you only know the film and not the Broadway score, then you don't know BRIGADOON.

I know the Broadway score. I think the film is magic in its treatment of the music. I have seen a stage production of "Brigadoon". I also appreciate that there is a vast difference between what works on stage and what works on film. Very few stage musicals can transition "intact" to screen and not suffer for having done so. Some folks don't ever feel that way, though. Different strokes, etc.

John G. · « **Reply #52 on:** August 07, 2013, 08:50:44 AM »

Ron and Elmore, what do you think of the Peter Falk-Robert Goulet-Sally Ann Howes TV version?

Jrand74 · « **Reply #53 on:** August 07, 2013, 08:54:05 AM »

Well thanks for all the kind comparisons....William Windom....I will take.

I am just glad that no one said Zasu Pitts.

She was my next choice. Or was it Una Merkel?

DR John G,

I agree with all of your choices. All great movies. I don't know though, if I have seen The Maltese Falcoln all the way thru.

I watched Rebecca last night for at least the 5th time. I still love it!

Kate · « **Reply #56 on:** August 07, 2013, 09:48:31 AM »

I am looking forward to The new season of Downton Abbey. I know it's in January.

What a great miniseries.

It is having quite an influence on upcoming decorating and fashion trends.
