These conversations of what might have been with these people of extraordinary talent in such a golden age should not further distract us from discussing the cultural act of vandalism that was the film of Annie.

That is true. But I wonder when Prince asked her. It would have been when he was casting the show. It was probably about the time she was about to make Poppins but before she had signed for anything else if she were considering doing it. So he could have done the show at the end of '63 or early...

She had to finish MP if that were the case. But to do She Loves Me she would have had to ask Robert Wise to delay The Sound of Music and would he have done that? MP hadn't even been released yet so nobody knew she was going to be a meteor.

And then very sadly there was the cancellation of the Irving Berlin musical and she loves me with Dick Van Dyke.

She couldn't do MFL because she was filming MP. Sound of Music was filmed the following summer. There would have been no interference with her Fox films. She had a deal with Disney that if Warner at the last minute decided to use her for Lady Walt would let her out of her contract. But what was...

Not when you consider how few are coming out. It is lamentable.

I saw Annie in previews at the Alvin. I knew of no advance word positive or negative. It was just there with no preconceived notions whatsoever. I've tried watching the movie but it is an atrocity just like ACL. Huston really hated the material which is fine but then don't direct the film. But I...
