      And you can never go wrong with Reta Shaw!  

    Not to mention Thelma Pelish!

    The Pajama Game is one of those rare Broadway shows that features almost the whole original Broadway cast in the film.  In the main roles in the film, Doris Day is the only newbie, as Tab Hunter was in the other great Adler/Ross film, Damn Yankees. (In the film of The Pajama Game, Barbara Nichols, in the small role of Poopsie, replaced Rae Allen, but Ms. Allen did get to reprise her more substantial Broadway role as Gloria, the reporter, in Damn Yankees.)

  2. Today's hint: Wife's Oscar nomination was for playing the mother in a film adaptation of an English novel. 

    The year Wife was nominated, another film, with which Husband had an important connection, received a nomination for Best Actor for a very great and famous English actor. 

    But both of the Oscars referred to were won by American actors from another movie.

    Yes!  Do we know how he gets  those black eyes?   

    I don't think so, perhaps it's in the stories. I had the published stories at one time, but stupidly discarded them when I moved. The black eyes makes him look almost like a little boy out of a horror film! Here's the director examining his son's makeup.

    I also love THE HAPPY YEARS, one of my favorite movies from one of my favorite movie directors of all-time Willian A. Wellman .  What an amazingly diverse body of work he had!

    There are so many wonderful moments in THE HAPPY YEARS.

    I always look forward to the following:

    "Gerund or gerundive"

    "I like Maude Adams:"

    "My aunt's cat's pants"

    A few humorous little moments are provided by Tim Wellman, the director's nine-year old son, who has a very small role as a bell ringer. He looks quite demented when he's pulling those ropes!

    Thank you, so glad they're showing The Happy Years, a great film based on Owen Johnson's Lawrenceville Stories

     

     

    I'm also pleased that The Green Years will be shown, although Charles Coburn is got up to look more like the Cowardly Lion than a Scottish grandfather.
