Right, I think Wilder said--in regards to the last line, that audiences at that time were not ready for that.
But if Jerry was gay, the movie would have--as the musical has--lost the element of competition between him and Joe for Sugar.
Some laugh lines are lost ("A 'rich' millionaire." and "Where'd you get that bracelet?" "You like it?
"I always did.")
But perhaps the problem is the title. I think most audiences expect it to be the movie, which is a cynical farce, with music. And whatever the musical's merits, it is not that. |
