And Jose, er, I mean Stritch, was in Goldilocks.  :)

I love "I Never Know When To Say When" and some othe songs from that show.  But I always wondered if Walter Kerr's strangely muted recation in print to musicals that became classics (like WSS and Fiddler) may have stemmed from his trying to actually create musicals, coming so close but not making it.

Well, I blame GOLDILOCKS' failure on DR Jose.  I'm quite fond of the show.  Stritch told me that Agnes DeMille walked all over Mr Kerr as the director, but I suspect that's DR Jose on the piano during "Give the Little Lady a Great Big Hand."  Russian hands Jose strikes again!

GOLDILOCKS - the most underrated musical?

Or is it THE GOLDEN APPLE?

I first heard of the Righteous Brothers from their appearance on the TV series Please Don't Eat the Daisies.  They did Daisy Chain Melody, am I right?

I have to share one more screen capture with you all.

Anyone know this handsome fella?    Sigh.  I couldn't click the capture button fast enough to make myself a screen saver collection of just him.

One of the my favorite things he wrote is:

I was involved (intimately involved) with a production once that was having trouble on the road.  We were surprised when after one particularly disastrous preview that the producer declared what was wrong with the show....what was KILLING the show....was the ground cloth that was being used in the first act.

Of all things earlier today, I pulled COLLATERAL off the shelf and started rewatching it. It IS very suspenseful.

Errol Flynn.

Is this from DODGE CITY or some other color western film he made?

I always liked Diane McBain; she's quite wonderful in MARY MARY, as I recall, and I always liked Joanna Barnes in AUNTIE MAME and THE PARENT TRAP.

A strike for more honey and shorter flowers I guess.

Well it's pumpkin time for me.  I can't get used to these kind of hours--I'd never be able to get up and go to work.

I'd best say good night for now.  I have my post op to tomorrow as well so I'd better be rested or my doctor will never let me drive!

Have a good evening all!
