Who is Cate Blanchett?

It's not an issue in muscials if they're bw or color--the issues have more to do origination and styles. "Music Man" and "OK" are Broadway shows. *Top Hat* and *Swing Time* are originial screen musicals. However, all four are predominantly dance musicals.

When I was living in London--the Tube workers used to tell me to go home when Team Scotland played in the city. They said no decent woman was safe on the street with the Scottish team about. Apparently they divide them up that way.

Jennifer Jones and Van Heflin are in costume for Minnelli's (Flaubert's) Madame Bovary.

We can go back to Mr Six--if he wants to or take my question--Whatever?

This thread is supposed to be about Film roles that were miscasted. If you find stars' sexuality so interesting, someone should start a thread about just that. And I'd start with Claudette Colbert.

I had to wear ribbons on my braids everyday of my life in grade school. Such memories!

If both Roz Russell and Lucy had been kept away from the films *Gypsy* and *Mame*, let's throw in Audrey Hepburn in *My Fair Lady* for good measure, The world would have had 3 more Classic Musicals to Cherish. Not what really happened though. Edited by: cujas on Jun 26, 2010 3:43 PM
