  1. Yes, I did a little research on that, Miles. Incidentally, the movie "Funny Face" from 1957 has an entirely different plot than the 1927 Broadway musical....

     

    Next: ...This musical, which has the same title as a Jerome Kern song, is the biography of a vaudeville and Broadway star who grew up in Findlay, Ohio.

     

    Name the movie and the performer it depicted...

  2. Thanks.

     

    "...Then one day, at the banks of the Pokomoko, I found them. Suddenly my brain stopped. All the hatred, all the pent-up emotion of years' suffering welled up within me. I knew I'd never be satisfied until I have my bony fingers around his throat. So with murder in my heart, sloooowly I turn.....I'm sorry, but every time I hear the word "Pokomoko" I just wanna kill..."

     

    Which Abbott and Costello movie ?

  3. Merci, Mlle. Cujas...

     

    Next, an easy one...Provide the next line, the song title, the movie, and the classical composer:

     

     

    "And when s/he speaks and when s/he talks to me,

    Music! Mystery!

    And when s/he moves And when s/he walks with me,

    Paradise comes suddenly near.

     

    All that can stir, All that can stun,

    All that's for the heart's lifting

    Imagine these in one perfect one..."

  4. OK Miles, here goes:

     

    The original show starring Fred Astaire was "Smarty", with the song "How Long Has This Been Going On?" by George and Ira Gershwin. It opened in Philadelphia in 1927 starring Adele and Fred Astaire to poor reviews. When it opened in New York, it was re-named "Funny Face", and a new song, "He Loves And She Loves", also from the Gershwins, replaced "How Long Has This Been Going On?"...The deleted song was later included in the Broadway musical "Rosalie" by Sigmund Romberg and The Gershwins, with Marilyn Miller in the title role. When "Rosalie" was made into a movie (available from Warner Bros. Archives), it had Eleanor Powell in the title role and Nelson Eddy as the cadet. Frank Morgan was the king, Rosalie's father, both in the movie and the Broadway production. All the songs from the play were replaced with original songs by Cole Porter (I have a copy of the movie and almost all the songs were forgettable except for one, "In The Still Of The Night")...

    In 1957, "Funny Face", starring Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn, came out. In this movie were the songs: "How Long Has This Been Going On", sung by Audrey Hepburn, and "He Loves And She Loves", sung by Fred Astaire.

     

    So there...
