Did you know Julie Andrews did Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella for TV in 1957? Yeah, me either, until I found it on DVD at the library last Saturday.It's okay. They basically did it as a stage play and filmed it -- those were the early days of television, you know. So it felt like early Masterpiece Theater in a way. Julie Andrews was luminous, of course, but the rest of the production was... okay. I don't mind having spent part of my life watching it, but I won't seek it out again.
Oddly, several of the songs seemed quite familiar, so I must have heard them on The Lawrence Welk Show or some Best of Broadway cd or something.
In random Julie Andrews news, I see she has a new movie called Tooth Fairy due out sometime this year that also stars... Dwayne Johnson! Oh man, I am so there. Can you imagine those two squaring off? Priceless!
That does seem like an unlikely pair. But ya gotta luv Dwayne Johnson....Ahhh...
ReplyDeleteI should probably rent this at some point just for Matthew.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Matthew would probably be entranced.
ReplyDeleteAnd Lerin, I'm shocked! You like Dwayne Johnson? :-D
