| Ran across this fascinating 2013 article (with quotes of Sondheim and Prince) about the background and discussions of a proposed idea for a 1972 MGM film of FOLLIES. (It implies MGM decided against that, but maybe instead morphed the idea into THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT!) https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2013/11/29/loveland/ The Paris Review article also linked a YouTube video of the MGM 1974 after-party for THAT’S ENERTAINMENT! in which many of the old MGM surviving stars (used in that film’s clips) were introduced a la “Beautiful Girls.” They note that there hadn’t been a gathering like that since MGM’s twenty-fifth anniversary luncheon in 1949! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JuWSgU8YCg&ab_channel=Stargayzing In THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT’s opening segment, Frank Sinatra declares, “You’ll never see the likes of this again.” "BOY, DO WE NEED IT NOW!" |
