Wrong. You're all wrong. It's perfectly obvious he meant Mary Martin in The Sound of Music.
No, you're wrong. He meant Barbara Cook in The Music Man!Chas in CT said:Wrong. You're all wrong. It's perfectly obvious he meant Mary Martin in The Sound of Music.
And the personification of "working actors" vs. celebrities.Originally Posted by Erik_H
The Tandy/Cronyn recollections remind me of the one time I saw them perform live---the 1986 pre-Broadway tryout in Boston of "The Petition," which was the final play they did together. The play was nothing special --- "The Gin Game" it wasn't---but what a privilege it was to see them.. Truly incomparable. Or as Frank Rich eloquently put it in his Times review: "the real subject of ''The Petition'' is one of the most illustrious marriages in the history of the American stage...an acting phenomenon now unique in the Broadway theater and possibly never to come its way again." He was right.
Yes, she passed in 1952. There is far too little film of Miss Lawrence, although it is said that her strength was her presence on stage. At least we have Julie Andrew's performance in the deeply under-rated "Star!" But I always wished that "Star!" had carried on her story through "The King and I" rather than stopping where it did, although the ending makes sense in terms of her finding someone to "watch over her".Mark Mayes said:Ahh, but you see, I think most would agree that Deborah Kerr was the perfect inexchangeable choice for Anna Leonowens, despite Gertrude Lawrence having originated the role.

Personally, I preferred her performance in "Those Were The Happy Times.". ;-)rsmithjr said:At least we have Julie Andrew's performance in the deeply under-rated "Star!"
This is the first time I've heard about either of these. Could you say more?Robert Harris said:Quote:Would naturally need to be fully and brilliantly restored.Originally Posted by TravisR
I could be wrong but I thought that, despite being one of the titles that was restored for Universal's 100th anniversary, Schindler's List was always set for 2013 which is its 20th anniversary.
Hate it when a lab is printing the original negative, it ends on on someone's shoes, and gets dragged into the bathroom.
Same situation as Disney's Little Mermaid. Destroyed, presumably by Technicolor!
Needed a full restoration.

Oh gee, I thought he was talking about Mame!Mark Mayes said:"The situation was much like that of a certain musical, in which a role might have gone to the individual who perfected the role on Broadway. While I have no real problems with that film, Streetcar might have been quite different." Ahh, but you see, I think most would agree that Deborah Kerr was the perfect inexchangeable choice for Anna Leonowens, despite Gertrude Lawrence having originated the role.

Happily, you are WRONG!!Originally Posted by David Weicker
I am thrilled about the release of missing 'Best Pictures'. The early part of 2013 brings us Grand Hotel, Mrs. Miniver, Driving Miss Daisy, On The Waterfront, and Gentlemen's Agreement.
However, I would like to correct your statement about the 'newest' missing title - that dubious distinction falls to Schlindler's List (1993).

Despite your emoticon, he was actually RIGHT at the time he made the post. Universal made the announcement a little over a week after his posting.battlebeast said:Happily, you are WRONG!! Schindler's List 20th anniversary blu ray will be out march 5th according to Amazon.ca
