I’m an American who was working and living in London for a year in the mid eighties. This movie was, of course, nothing like my state-side life, but I never felt more homesick than the time it was shown on television.
At no detriment to the film as a whole, my favorite thing in it is the dance number “the Shipoopi”…it may have been the 11 o’ clock number in the Broadway show- a rouser meant to signal immanent plot tie-ups-but in the film it’s a choreographed, lightning- paced wonder.
Oh ya got trouble! Right here on RU-vid! With the kids watchin' videos after school! I said ya got trouble! Too many kids watchin' videos! They need homework after school!
This movie should have been a cautionary tale and they missed the entire point because in the 1960s they had to have a happy ending... There's no "happy ending" with trump.
