sagebrush Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 The stage version is much, much better than the movie and even it doesn't get due credit. I hardly ever hear of Broadway revivals of it. Living in or around the CA gold rush area most of my life, it is a musical close to my heart! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I looked this up and it was filmed in Eastern Oregon and Southern California. You have to wonder when reading the title of the film. Gee, what's that about? The primary actors don't really sound like musical stars to me. Don't believe I've seen the film, except by dropping in on TCM while it is on. Now I'm curious to see it. Can't be worse than Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, which didn't appeal to me, including the big dance scene. I lived briefly in The Mother Lode, you know, home of The Jumping Frog Jubilee. On a personal note TopBilled, you only seem to list titles from either TCM or Starz. Do you not see any other sources for classic movies? Just curious. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Do you not see any other sources for classic movies? Just curious. In the past I listed Criterion films that were on Hulu, but then those titles moved to FilmStruck. So I started listing stuff on FilmStruck, but then FilmStruck ended. I may start including the Criterion Channel, once they're solidly in place but it's a bit too early to see how their streaming business is headed. I also listed films that were on Amazon Prime, but they dropped a lot of classics. The classics they tend to have now are titles in the public domain with inferior prints and I don't want to recommend those. I don't recommend titles on YouTube, because a lot of them are uploaded illegally and get taken down quickly. So the short answer is that TCM and Starz seem to be the most reliable and consistent sources of classic film. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

"Paint Your Wagon" was, once upon a time, a very famous Broadway musical. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I will not dispute. That isn't nice. Some don't care for The Unsinkable Molly Brown. I love the film. I am guessing there are so many greats that play out better on stage. There was a production of Fiddler On The Roof using my middle school multi-purpose room. A very modest but beautiful production. When I was very young, my mother had a tiny roll in "Anything Goes." It was done at my elementary school. I would love to see TCM show the Broadway performance of Victor/Victoria. I have it on DVD, but the Blu-ray seems to be nonexistent these days. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
