One of my favorite musicals makes it to Blu-ray. Couldn't
think of a better musical choice, Warner. Very nice!
This film may have one of the most highly quotable scripts of all time."I don't believe I caught your name."
"I don't believe I dropped it."
I heard that about My Fair Lady as well. I also heard that Grant's threat if they didn't cast Rex Harrison he would never do a film for WB again (he didn't anyway). This was from Julian Holloway, Stanley's son, on that film's 30th anniversary documentary.Originally Posted by kenNew
Hi lionel59, I'm just checking but I thought your anecdote about Cary Grant being offered the lead in 'The Music Man' actually took place when Warners were casting 'My Fair Lady'. They were looking for a 'typical Englishman' and felt that Grant had more pulling power for the role of Professor Henry Higgins (as opposed to Professor Harold Hill) than Rex Harrison, even though the latter had played the part for several years on stage.
At least, I'm pretty sure that was the case.
