"(yeah, this whole thread is hard to believe!)"

LOL

"Jeff gets lost trying to find his way back to wherever they parked the car, miles and miles away, falls down a steep incline, and is killed."

Double LOL :)

When I was writing my previous post, I was thinking, "They manage to find where Brigadoon was in the middle of the night? I never thought about this before." Since they don't seem to be carrying suitcases (or at least the script doesn't they are), you're probably right that they did check in somewhere. :) Or they left them in the car they parked . . . somewhere.

Poor AJL. What would he think of this discussion?

He'd say, "You're a bunch of obsessed, detailed-oriented nerds, but you helped pay all my alimony bills for years, so I'll keep quiet while you over-analyze the ending to my innocent little fantasy musical."

Or - I'm sure I've told this story out here before...a friend of mine who was a director and theatre professor used to have fun talking about lyrics that he felt made no sense - one of his favorites was in "To Life," where the men sing "May all your futures be pleasant ones, not like our present ones" - which is a bit of a logical mess if you really think about it. The inference is clear, but the idea of "present futures" is a bit out there lol (though I can see how it does make some sort of sense in a way - but the lyric goes by too fast to really think it through. I think what we pick up in the moment in "present lives" as opposed to "what we think our futures are from our present perspective.")

Anyway, he had a chance to talk with Harnick once (who is, from my own short chance to meet him, one of the more gracious men I've ever met) - and he dared to ask him about that lyric. Harnick's response - "I wrote that??" ;-)
