| “Being in Love” has an almost pop sensibility - I’ve said before that it sounds more like Here’s Love! than romantic longing in 1912 Iowa. Not a compliment. Over time, it’s grown on me, because it seems so tied to the Shirley Jones Marian, maybe a more glamorous - or at least contemporary - take on the role than Cook’s or Luker’s. Is “Being in Love” ever covered? | |

| I doubt it's ever been covered. The only song from the show that ever branched out of it as far as I know is "Til There Was You," though of course "76 Trombones" is known everywhere. It's a very show specific score. "Being In Love" seems a fitting song for the sadder-but-wiser girl Shirley's Marian is. I don't think it's out of place in the film; I love Pert Kelton harmonizing on "in the gloaming." Priceless. |

| Shirley Jones was an incredibly sexy Marian. She knew how to put across repressed sexuality in spades. I love her interaction with Charlie Cowell in the film. | |

| She's great with Charlie Cowell! Of course, Barbara Cook showed a pretty saucy side to herself on the Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode she did around this time. I'm sure she had fun in that scene as well. | |

| I would have loved to see Cook in the cafe scene in She Loves Me where she really lets Georg have it. That must have been a great scene. | |
