Well I must say when I first picked up this 1968 soundtrack the first time it was in album/vinyl format and I was a big Petula Clarke fan. Since then I have grown to love this musical and appreciate all the fine things going on in it. First of all look at the talen here, Fred Astair, Pet Clark, Don Franks and Tommy Steele. Wouldn't think it would work would but it does, and very nicely too. Petula does some of the finest singing in her career. She sings some fine duets with both Astair and Franks. BUT the solos, are the reall meat in this meal. Always wondered why she didn't do more in this field but I guess the big musical era was winding down and not much to offer. The movie itself is entertaining but the real attraction is the Harburg/Lane music/lyrics. Wonderful songs, the kind you come out of the theater singing or humming. They stay on your mind long after the curtain has fallen and the lights are dark. Get this while you can. |
