Latest howler from the Goodbye, Mr. Chips chapter: Apparently Andre and Dory Previn while constantly revising their score to the film were distracted by their Broadway bound musical The Happy Time's out of town tryout. This is the problem with idiots - at that point The Happy Time's director, Gower Champion, was going to direct the Chips film - so, he has the show right but isn't even smart enough to know that the Previns had nothing to do with it. And the ONLY songwriters involved with Chips were the Previns and Bricusse. Really? Then what are all these Rod McKuen demos I have, and the Tony Hatch title song I have, etc. And I've located many of the sources he simply copies - changes a few words here and there, but lots of time spent at the Margaret Herrick Library cobbling together the real and the anecdotal (here presented as real) and the patently false PR crap (also presented as real). And people buy the book and take it all as gospel.
