Title: AND SO WE BID A FOND FAREWELL TO FEBRUARY
Post by: bk on February 29, 2012, 12:28:19 AM
Well, you've read the notes, the notes had farewells and hellos, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently bidding a fond farewell to February and saying a MOO to March.

And here are the two new Kritzerland releases - to order, simply visit the Kritzerland website:


Kritzerland is pleased to present a new limited edition soundtrack release:

A MAN AND A WOMAN
Music Composed by Francis Lai

Is there a person anywhere in the world who was around in the 1960s and 1970s who could not instantly recognize the theme from A Man and a Woman?  Doubtful, unless you were living under a rock in a cave in Siberia, and even then you’d probably have heard it.  In fact, it became one of the most beloved movie themes ever written almost instantly.  It was the right theme from the right film at the right time.  Upon its release in 1966, A Man and a Woman became a sensation everywhere it played.   It became the film to see for anyone who considered that they had a romantic bone in his or her body.  The soundtrack recording was as popular as the film, so popular, in fact, that a second soundtrack album was released with the lyrics in English (sung by the same singers as the original French).  The film was fresh, unique, and beguiling, and so was its score by Francis Lai.  It was the perfect marriage of image and music.

A Man and a Woman was only Lai’s third film score, but it put him on the map and he has not stopped working since, and that includes scoring close to thirty films for director Lelouch.  Just a few short years later, in 1970, Lai would win the Oscar for Best Score for Love Story.  His music for A Man and a Woman speaks for itself – the melodies are stunningly beautiful.  Part and parcel of the score are the wonderful vocals of Pierre Barouh and Nicole Croisille, along with Barouh’s lyrics.  The score and songs have been loved by lovers all over the world and with good reason – this is simply some of the most romantic and heartfelt music ever. 

A Man and a Woman was originally issued on a United Artists LP.  With its extreme popularity, United Artists then issued the English language version.   There have been three previous CD issues of the French version – two imports from Europe and a stateside release by DRG.  However, all three were issued from sources many generations away from the original album masters, and, shockingly, all three were in mono.  We are pleased to finally present the first authentic presentation of A Man and a Woman on CD – in stereo from the original album masters housed in the MGM vaults, in both French and English versions.  It’s such a pleasure to hear the score as it was meant to be heard.   

A Man and a Woman is limited to 1000 copies only.  The price is $19.98, plus shipping.


THE FUZZY PINK NIGHTGOWN
Music Composed and Conducted by Billy May

and

A BREATH OF SCANDAL
Music Composed and Conducted by Alessandro Cicognini

The Fuzzy Pink Nightgown and Jane Russell, a potent combination, especially when Miss Russell dons the title outfit.  Released in 1957, The Fuzzy Pink Nightgown was a kidnapping comedy.  A movie star, whose film, The Kidnapped Bride, is about to open, is kidnapped and hilarity and love ensue.  The Fuzzy Pink Nightgown is a perfectly enjoyable bit of fizzy-fuzzy fluff, thanks to Miss Russell and her co-stars, Ralph Meeker, Keenan Wynn, Fred Clark, Una Merkel, Adolphe Menjou, Benay Venuta, and Milton Frome.  While it may not be high art, it’s simply the kind of film they don’t make anymore – a low-budget comedy with nothing on its mind other than entertaining people for a brisk eighty-seven minutes and allowing its sexier than sexy star to wear a fuzzy pink nightgown, albeit in a black-and-white film!

One of the most entertaining things about the film is the score by Billy May.  Billy May began as a trumpet player in the Charlie Barnett big band, and by the 1950s he would become one of the greatest arrangers of all time, providing amazing and unique work for such singers as Frank Sinatra (several of his most classic albums), Peggy Lee, Nat King Cole, Jeri Southern, Keely Smith, Vic Damone, Bobby Darin, Nancy Wilson, Matt Monro, and many, many others, as well as a series of wonderful solo albums on Capitol with his own band.  The Fuzzy Pink Nightgown is classic Billy – bluesy, swingin’, lush, and gorgeously melodic.  It was his debut film score, and he’d go on to write the music for such films and television programs as Naked City, Seargents Three, Johnny Cool, The Green Hornet, Tony Rome, Batman, The Mod Squad, CHIPS, Emergency, and others.   

The Fuzzy Pink Nightgown was originally released on Imperial Records in glorious monophonic sound.  This first-ever CD release was mastered from the first-generation album masters housed at Capitol, which was Billy’s home for many years. 

Three years later, a very different kind of comedy was released - A Breath of Scandal.  Adapted from Ferenc Molnar’s play, Olympia, the film starred Sophia Loren, Maurice Chevalier, Angela Lansbury, and John Gavin.   It’s a frothy bubble of a film, filled with seductions and complications, a little singing, a castle to romp about in, a little more singing, all photographed on beautiful sets and outdoor locations in spectacular Technicolor.

What really makes the film a glass of champagne is the delightful and charming score of Alessandro Cicognini.  Alessandro Cicognini began scoring films in the mid-1930s, and by the 1950s he was one of Italy’s most prolific film composers, scoring many classic Italian films, such as Miracle in Milan, Umberto D, Shoeshine, Bicycle Thieves (all for Vittorio de Sica),The Little World of Don Camillo, Ulysses, Indiscretion of an American Wife, David Lean’s Summertime, The Black Orchid, It Started in Naples and others.   The score for A Breath of Scandal is filled with delectable melodies and plenty of swirling waltzes and lush romantic tunes, and Mr. Chevalier’s warbling is as enchanting as ever. 

A Breath of Scandal was also originally issued on Imperial Records in stereophonic sound.  This first-ever CD release was mastered from the original album masters housed at Capitol.

It’s always fun to unearth two not very well known scores from two very different comedies.  I hope you’ll agree that they make a most delightful double bill.

The Fuzzy Pink Nightgown/A Breath of Scandal is limited to 1000 copies only.  The price is $19.98, plus shipping.

CDs will ship the second week of April – however, never fear, preorders placed directly through Kritzerland usually ship one to five weeks earlier (we’ve been averaging four weeks early).   To place an order, see the cover, or hear audio samples, just visit www.kritzerland.com.

Good morning, all! I've been up since 6am and I've spent the past hour analyzing where the hell did my "sent" email file go. Once I figured it out, it will take me several days of transferring to put it back together. I'm also up early because I expect a Time Warner serviceman at some point this morning to show up and transfer my telephone from AT&T to cable. I hope it goes well.

While I wait here, I move emails back to "sent" and ponder the day's other events. I've got work on ROBERTA and DEAREST ENEMT and, depending on the Time warner situation, a trip to City Center.

DR JRand61, I am so sorry to hear the news of your brother-in-law.

DR Ben, how was ONCE?
Title: Re: AND SO WE BID A FOND FAREWELL TO FEBRUARY
Post by: Ben on February 29, 2012, 04:42:09 AM
Once was wonderful. I really enjoyed it. It's a sweet, charming small show. Some friend who saw it downtown (I didn't) were worried that it would lose something in the move to a larger space (it's now in the Bernard Jacobs, formerly the Royale) but I still felt connected and involved in the show (I was in the balcony). The set looks like an Irish pub and the conceit of having the actors play the instruments really works, unlike John Doyle productions. Andy Taylor (I only know him by name and mention on this site) is excellent in a small role as a banker and a player of many stringed instruments. The score is full of the kind of songs you hear on Celtic and folk radio stations, especially those on the BBC.

I'm very glad I got to see the show. I recommend it if you're in New York. I now need to get the DVD and see the movie.

Well, I was a little late to realize that "Angelina Jolie's Leg" had become an international issue, since I actually loved her dress as reflected in our original HOLLYWOOD GOWN one-minute rundown from Monday

the all-thumbs-up edition (except for using Sasha Baron Cohen's antics shown here at the very end). 
THE HOLLYWOOD GOWN SONG - OSCARS 2012
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN4gASKH2og


but always needing to jump on a clothing bandwagon, and thus beating a dead clothes-horse  :)

- here's the new  "Angelina Jolie's Leg" special video edition (the image with the two legs is a hoot, which has been circulating on the net; wish I'd thought of it myself!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMe-0U24tw4


Many thanks if you have time to watch both or either.  Each is just about 65 seconds!  I tentatively promise:  no more Hollywood Gown-watching until the Emmys.

Interesting notes last night from George and Matthew on "Love Never Dies." Guess it is better than the "Paint Never Dries" version that played in London, but it still makes me want to wait until the library gets a copy.

Thanks for the notes on "Once," Ben. I hope you enjoy the movie as much as I did.

My worst grade in my entire college career was a C+ I received for a class called (wait for it) The Creative Process, which was at the ungodly hour of 7:00 in the morning.  Since I was regularly gigging (i.e., utilizing creativity), I kept oversleeping.  I was also writing a flute sonata at the time, which I showed my teacher, and his quote was, "You need to stop composing music and come to The Creative Process".  Hmmmm. . . .

Does anybody on this board know an actor who might be good as or might like to do my one-person play on Maurice Chevalier?

Finally, after years of trying, I think I've "cleared" the song rights for this show.  At least, the copyright holders are willing to work with a production, and I feel comfortable enough with the arrangement to proceed.

I'll probably make the book portion available via Amazon within the next 2-3 weeks, so please keep your eyes open for that Frenchman in the straw hat.

Thanks.

It is sad news.  I told Craig as he was leaving.  When we lived in Michigan he went to see The Monkees perform.  Davy was his favorite as well as mine.

Question: Is "Peter and the Starcatcher" considered a musical or a straight play?

It's got music (by Wayne Barker) but it's a play.

But it can be eligable for a Tony nomination for Best Original Score

Post by: Michael on February 29, 2012, 01:05:12 PM
The concerts presented this year with LuPone & Patinkin and Hugh Jackman were deemed inelligble for Best Musical and not because they were being submitted that way. I think it was dumb that the Tony Award dropped the category (Special Theatrical event ??) were these categories would go.

Yes, the Counterfeit Traitor surprised me, as did Summer and Smoke and Fear Strikes Out/The Tin Star - those were all 1500, but all world premiere releases and a year ago all of them would have sold out, but thanks to the never-ending gluttony of certain labels, the marketplace is now so glutted with titles and the other problem is that the current collectors only seem interested in 80s and 90s titles.

Does anybody on this board know an actor who might be good as or might like to do my one-person play on Maurice Chevalier?

Finally, after years of trying, I think I've "cleared" the song rights for this show.  At least, the copyright holders are willing to work with a production, and I feel comfortable enough with the arrangement to proceed.

I'll probably make the book portion available via Amazon within the next 2-3 weeks, so please keep your eyes open for that Frenchman in the straw hat.

Thanks.

Just purchased the two new releases. I don't usually buy soundtracks, but A Man and A Woman has always been a favorite and I am intrigued by the twofer because of the vocals by Maurice Chevalier and the score by Billy May.

Also got the Melody Hollis CD.

DAVY JONES #2

He was the inspiration for the Chekov character on Star Trek. They wanted to add a Russian Character to the show and saw how popular Davy Jones was in the Monkees and decided to go young. If you notice in the first few episodes where Chekov appears he is wear a wig fashioned after Jones' hairstyle in the Monkees show.

DUMB DUMB Observation.

Picked up some Blu Rays and magazines at Barnes and Nobles and the had an audio sampler as a give away!

It was from Seth MacFarlane's cd "Music Is Better Than Words" It has three songs.

First I want to say he is a very enjoyable singer. It wants me to buy the complete CD

BUT WHO WAS THE BONEHEAD

that did not fact check the song credits???!!!

They attribute the composing/lyric writing to "Jimmie Van Heusen" for TWO SLEEP PEOPLE and THE NIGHT THEY INVENTED CHAMPAGNE. The third song is It's Anybody's Spring

First: it would by JIMMY and not JIMMIE.
Second: Frank Loesser (lyrics) and Hoagy Carmichael (music) wrote Two Sleep People.
Third: Alan Jay Lerner (lyrics) and Frederick Loewe (music) wrote the Night They Invented Champagne
Fourth: It's Anybody's Spring was composed by Van Heusen, but JOHNNY BURKE wrote the lyrics.
Fifth: #2 & #3 are attributted to wrong publishing company: BOURNE CO/BURKE & VAN HEUSEN/DORSEY BROTHERS MUSIC.  "Champgne" is owned by  CHAPPELL-CO INC/WARNER CHAPPELL MUSIC INC and "...People" is owned by SONY ATV HARMONY

and furthmore I believe Van Heusen was actually billed more formerly as "James" Van Heusen.

But so many errors in just three songs. I'm sure most people would have missed them, but little mistake drive me ARRRRG!!!

Someone will see this and think this information is correct and use it as their part of their own research!!!

It is not the type of show that would have clips on youtube. And I am sure you would not want to have to watch the whole episode online. Why not just look in your tv for the show Anderson (Here it is on NBC) sometime between 10am and 5pm. It should not be too hard to find.You can DVR it and just skip right to DR Danise.

I guess I should have included this blurb.

Plus, it's a home improvement story gone disastrously wrong. Anderson meets a woman on the brink of bankruptcy after having spent approximately $50,000 to fix up her house. She was told by the contractor it would be two weeks. Almost a year later, and after taking out two loans, she is forced to finish the home herself.

Fun fact: They said on Entertainment Tonight that he and the cast of "Oliver" were on the Ed Sullivan Show the same night the Beatles made their first appearance.

With all the nice compliments about the new book cover and some mentioned NINA

Here are lyrics from a song called NINAS that Bruce recorded on the album Broadway Bound


Every stars got a Nina
Hiding somewhere in her hair
On the hands of Leonard Benstein
On the feet of Fred Astaire
And they say Talluah had one but they never knew quite where

Everybody wants to have a Nina

Margo Fontaine had a Nina
It's balanced on her toes
Where the great Durante had one
Well everybody knows
And you never heard a signle word
About Marcel Marceau's

Everybody wants to have a Nina

Noel Coward loved a Nina
In a little song he wrote
Columbus loved a Nina
Too bad it was just a boat

I never had a Nina
And we all think that's wrong
Les Miserable had forty
And it's far too long
Burton Lane had Carmelina
But that's another song!

Everybody wants to have a Nina

There's a tiny Nina on the front of Linda Hunt it's said
And a rather hairy Nina of the tail of Mr. Ed
On the head of Horton Foote
And on the foot of Edith Head

Everybody wants to have a Nina

Greta Garbo had a Nina but it was rarely seen
But the Nina was devine upon the cape of Fulton Sheen
Golda Mier surely had one but it was spelled "Anin"

Everybody wants to have a Nina

Anton Checkov in The Seagull had a Nina you recall
Quentin Crisp had a Nina once but he didn't like it at all
Penn and Teller got their Nina when their magic made us blink
Arthur Miller got his Nina when his Drama made us think
Sarah Brightman got her Nina when Sir Andrew made a stink

Everybody wants to have a Nina

Sarafina had a Nina
Sabrina had the same
Nina weena had a Nina
And such a silly name
Yogi Bear had a Nina
It's on his catcher's mitt
Prince Charles & Di had one
It's another thing they split
David Mamet had a Nina
It's a f*cken piece of sh*t

Everybody wants to have a
Everybody has to have a
Everybody got to have a Nina

Miss Winer was a terrible theatre critic and she's a terrible CD reviewer, even though she likes some of the stuff.  Tick Tock, which she decries for its awfulness and for its insipid orchestration - well, sorry, then you must decry all of Promises and its orchestrations.  I believe these little capsules appeared alongside an interview with me that appeared in the Sunday Calendar section with a full-page photo of me - I have it somewhere.  I had dinner with her once - she was as pedantic and pretentious in person as she was on the page.  It was a good day for LA theater when she was booted.

Well, I'm ready to start the diet in the morning.  Went to the store and got lots of fruits and veges, stocked the freezer with Smart Ones dinners, got some oatmeal for breakfast, and weight watchers ice cream treats....just because.  I am ready to do this.  Haven't decided if I'll go to a meeting tomorrow night.  The leader is the same one as when I was there 4 years ago.  I think it will be good for me to go back and get on track.  I'll wear really heavy clothes to get the first weigh in, then lighter clothes when I don't think I've lost any weight, lol.

I forgot about that-funny.  Last week I was looking at a new eye shadow with 4 different colors, 3 more than I wanted.  The sales lady asked if she could put it on me.  I almost joked I looked like Tammy Fay.  I really didn't look that bad & she kindly removed the heavy blue shadow going all the way up to my brow line.

Go to Andersoncooper.com   You can put in your zip code and it will tell you when the show airs. The website says it's all about scams tomorrow and describes Danise's situation. 

 I do not hs=ave a dvr could anyone tape it for me?  It is on a 4 PM here and I willbe at work
