Glad, glad somebody mentioned *Hallelujah Trail,* for purely personal reasons -- Bill gulick (novelist and film consultant) is a Walla Walla native, still very much alive and kicking.And who WAS that Black blues singer in *Cookie's Fortune;* please please please. It was NOT Koko Taylor.
Tangent: I love those old hoofer bits in movies; anything with Anne Miller; the other dancer who did that bit with kicking over all the suitcases set up in a circle.
I thought of this because I am with Peter T. on most musicals; I hate pretentious musicals. Can't discuss *My Fair Lady* with my best friend. --MA
