Description: Interesting cast in remake of Roberta. |
Notes on songs: Lovely to Look At
comes from the film Roberta and no lyric changes were made.
Otherwise, Dorothy Fields wrote new lyrics as follows:
For three songs, entirely new lyrics were written for songs which
had previously had different names and Otto Harbach lyrics.
Opening Night replaced Don't
Ask Me Not To Sing; The Most Exciting
Night replaced Armful of Trouble;
Lafayette was based on Clementina
.
Fields revised the lyric for I'll Be Hard
to Handle (originally by Bernard Dougall), You're
Devastating (Harbach) and her own I
Won't Dance.
The song When We Were Young does
not appear in the film. A CD recording is available. |
