| Joe Brown's voice sounds something akin to the jazzy and brash Darin's in the title song. Have you ever seen a production? The book of it, while somewhat based on a Cinderella theme, is kind of original. Darin died too young and never did a musical. Btw, if you ever get a chance to see his Oscar-nominated performance in "Captain Newman, MD", it's one of the greatest acting performances of a character with post-traumatic stress disorder captured on film. He could certainly act as well as sing. He was probably too in demand to do a Broadway musical in the 60s. Has "Charlie Girl" had any major productions in the US? | |

| Oh, it's really good -- great cast with Gregory Peck as the titled doctor, Angie Dickinson his romantic lead, Tony Curtis as energetic comic relief, Eddie Albert in such a different role that it takes while to realize it's Eddie Albert, Robert Duvall very fine in an early role, and Bobby Darin incredibly moving, especially in his big scene. There are some other recognizable faces in the cast as well. | |
