Posted: 4/14/06 at 3:19pmOh, do check out "Silk Stockings" movie, MasterLcZ, it is probably the exception, as most of Porters songs survived. Hollywood possibly guessed that there wouldn't be too many Porter scores following up so any Porter song would be worth preserving. Granted: a few songs were cut as well, but only a few this time.

Posted: 4/14/06 at 3:21pmexcept for the "I believe in you" reprise which was given to Rosemary as I recall it, Pinguin. But, you're right, How to succeed... is a very male movie.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali

Grease. I love Freddy My Love, Those Magic Changes, and Mooning. Granted I know that some were played as background music, but they are so good they should have been featured (Rock n Roll Party Queen, It's Raining on Prom Night).
I was beyond disappointed with Phantom. Maybe if the two leads were trained singers like they were supposed to be, it would have been good.
Arghh! Grammar pet peeve #1: your vs you're. "Your" is a possessive pronoun. "You're" is the contraction of "you are."

Posted: 4/16/06 at 8:10pm"The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas". Many songs were eliminated and replaced by songs written by Dolly Parton. They should have kept the original score, especially "The Bus From Amarillo". They turned the film into "Smokey and the Bandit Go To The Whorehouse".

Oh god I love the 'How To Succeed' Movie.
But it is a shame they cut good numbers (paris original being my favs) but especially Coffee Break. In the movie, it sets it up, they say "coffee break!" and then... Cut! I think they actually filmed the number aswell.. just didnt keep it in.
