What was the joke? When Rodgers was writing with Hart, people would say: "Look out for the tall guy, he's a bastard."
And then when he started writing with Hammerstein II, people would say: "The short guy is a bastard."
I'm still astonished that Josh Logan let him get away with taking away his royalties for South Pacific - I guess it was "no money if you want to keep the writing credit".....I heard.
