This popular German operetta, based on a play by George Bernard Shaw, was a hit on Broadway in 1909. It has been revived several times and had a silent movie version in 1915. In 1940, MGM wanted to make a movie, but they couldn't get the rights to the play from George Bernard Shaw, although they got the rights to the music from the German composer. As a result, they released a film with a similar title as the operetta, but with a plot based on a play by Ferenc Molnar (the same French writer who provided the plots for "Carousel" and "The Swan").... This same plot was used before in a film from 1931 which starred a very well-known husband and wife acting team and this was the only movie they appeared in, although they played the same parts on Broadway...In 1955, Vivian Vance sang the most famous song/aria from the German operetta on an episode of "I Love Lucy"... Questions: 1) What was the title of the German operetta (Same title as the 1941 musical) ? Who was the German composer ? 2) Which George Bernard Shaw play was it adapted from? 3) Who were the two star singers in the 1941 movie ? 4) What was the title of the 1931 movie with the famous husband-wife acting team ? 5) Who were the husband and wife ? 6) What was the title of the song Vivian Vance sung in 1955 ? I guess this question runs the gamut from Broadway to movies to TV...Any takers ?

Here's Stanwyck singing "Take It Off The E String, Put It On The G String" from "Lady Of Burlesque"...http://youtu.be/brI3aaxqXxk Here's another one. "Where The Lazy River Goes By" with Joel McCrea, then with Tony Martin . Clips were from "Banjo On My Knee": She also sang in "While Strolling Through The Park One Day" and "I Hum A Waltz" in "This Is My Affair" with Robert Taylor...

That's Correct. The movie was "It's A Wonderful Life"....Your thread, Metz.

"Damn Yankees" ?

"Ben-Hur" Next:...Rabies

"I'll Remember April" is right. What was the title of the movie and who was the singer ? Clue:..".Who's On First" duo...

The song is a well-known standard and has been covered by many singers...Surprisingly, the movie is a comedy western...The singer, although not known as well known as a cowboy star, did a fair number of western musicals...

Clue:.... Ward Bond and Frank Faylen serenade Jimmy and his wife with this old standard by Carrie Jacobs Bonds....

I think the original stage play was "Babes in Arms". The songs "My Funny Valentine" and "The Lady Is A Tramp, a spoof of New York's high society, were cut from the movie, although you can hear the second song in the background. The songs were later used in "Pal Joey", where they became standards for Frank Sinatra....

Lex Barker ?

No...the movie also starred another actor who later became famous for spoofing the police force with his role as an incompetent cop...
