I guess I can kind of see where you are coming from. The transition from stage to screen can leave some deficits. But substituing Julie Andrews for Mary Martin was a stroke of genius, IMHO of course.

And Shirley Jones as the nice but naughty librarian raised theater temperatures several degrees. Which reminds me that the other day I overheard a woman rebuking her male counterpart, "Listen, stop bugging me about wanting to see The Librarian or you're going to need The Nurse." And finally, the next time you watch Ben-Hur, watch carefully the scene in the Roman Armory when Ben Hur (Charlton Heston) sees his old friend Messala (Stephen Boyd) for the first time since their youth. Boyd wrote many years later that he played the scene as if he were gay and had the hots for Charlton Heston. His gestures and the looks he gives Heston are priceless once you have that insight. Heston didn't know about it and played the scene totally, well, straight. |

Which reminds me of a question that arises every time I watch Paint Your Wagon: Who had it worse from a sloppy seconds perspective, Lee Marvin or Clint Eastwood? While the answer may seem obvious at first give it a bit more thought. I think you'll find the answer isn't so simple.

The cleavage in "Brigadoon" makes that one fine movie.
