...is that the movie was made during a certain blackout of musicals, so all but one number was cut.
Some people pooh-poohed the Jimmy Durante scene, but I enjoyed it even though it was most likely a sly reference to the director who also directed the movie that scene was spoofed from. It probably appeased WRH considering he always preferred MD to do more drama and less comedy even though she was a natural comedian.
The scene when Blondie's father visits her in her apartment gets me every time. It was probably that scene that got me obsessed with searching out who the stars were -- I originally caught the movie after the credits rolled, on PBS (pre-cable days). Great movie. So glad people are talking about this movie -- or any MD movie!
More trivia: RM's daughter Elizabeth was the star of TV's Bewitched. Am I correct in guessing that Jenny McCarthy is EM's ex-daughter-in-law?
