Talent like hers just doesn't exist anymore. She played that part on Broadway before reprising it here in the movie, hence the super polished performance. A real treasure. ❤
Brer Sam Yeah, but the song/scene already has a name, and that name is Adelaide’s Lament. This person may have uploaded it, but they didn’t make it nor do they own it. You wouldn’t upload Somewhere Over the Rainbow from Wizard of Oz and call it “Birds,” would you?
I was once in a production of Guys & Dolls but the actress playing Adelaide had to drop out. She got a cold. Talk about ironic. (This didn't really happen I was just joking)
I think they changed it to Yonkers Racetrack because Saratoga could also be mistaken as a romantic getaway, but Yonkers Racetrack cannot, its purely a gambling site.
No, it's just an extremly high-quality recording for the time of a stage production shot entirely in close-ups where they changed a bunch of the lines for absolutely no reason.
Go to the doctor with bronchitis sometime and they'll probably put you on one for a few minutes. When I was a kid they had me use one while they were diagnosing my asthma.
