| "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." And yet, of course, the film versions of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, LES MISERABLES, and SWEENEY TODD all contain quite a lot of sung dialogue. Not really recitative, but let's not get into that distinction :-) I have heard rumors that there was talk of Luciano Pavarotti starring in a film version of HAPPY FELLA years ago, and when that didn't happen for whatever reason(s), he did YES, GIORGIO instead! I know that reference to and posting of links to bootleg video is verboten on ATC, but are links to TV telecasts permitted? If so, here is a link to a complete video of the HAPPY FELLA with Tozzi et al. |
