| That's a good point. And much as I would love to see a film of THE MOST HAPPY FELLA, I believe the fact that it is indeed almost through-sung like an opera is probably one of the main reasons it has not been filmed and probably won't be. Film musicals seem especially uncomfortable with recitative, as witness the films of RENT and DREAMGIRLS, both of which replace much of the sung recitative with spoken dialogue. I do remember the 1979 Broadway revival of MOST HAPPY FELLA with Giorgio Tozzi was shown on TV at the time; would love to see that again. |
