I marvel at your acumen and the invaluable addition that Ovrtur is to my life :). I don't think any detail is too obscure for inclusion!
That must have been a very happy company to be in if so many principles stayed with it for so long. I would imagine Tucker would have been a big part of that, since it can't be much fun sharing a stage with an unhappy star.
I always forget Davey Burns was the original Mayor Shinn, since Paul Ford is such an indelible presence in the movie.
Did Ford never play Horace Vandergelder? It seems such a perfect fit! I guess he was busy with Never Too Late when Dolly! was being prepped but he was a fixture on broadway through the early 1970s and even replaced John McGiver as The Mayor at the end of the run of that very starry Robert Ryan/Bert Convy The Front Page (when the replacements are Dody Goodman, Butterfly McQueen, Maureen O'Sullivan and Molly Picon, that's a show I'd want to see again). |
