I dreamed I was writing a new libretto for The Unsinkable Molly Brown. Where the fat hell did that come from?

As I was reading the ending posts yesterday I saw a message of mine quoted by DR JANE and realized I had made a[nother] error.

The movie that David Nelson starred in was THE BIG CIRCUS not THE BI CIRCUS.

That Freud was a great doctor wasn't he?

I am enjoying reading about DR MICHAEL G's scanning adventures.

It is nice to have physical evidence of one's past - generally speaking.

Sounds like it should have been in Doris Day and Rock Hudson's LOVER COME BACK, but now I'll go google

The TOD will have to be addressed later, when I have some idea what this evening and the weekend hold. I do have a few things set out to be watched, but I forget what they are.

More coffee!!

Google tells me you've mentioned it as by Moss Hart in earlier HHW postings.

LOL DR FREDDIE yes indeed it should.

And yes, I guess I am repeating myself.

It is indeed a mashup of a line from LIGHT UP THE SKY by Moss Hart.

The main actress in the play that is trying to get on with its out of town tryout [based they say on Gertrude Lawrence] is not happy with her part in the  play - which takes place after the atomic destruction of the world.

Her first complaint is that her costumes are too drab....it is the end of world, but would it hurt to have a little color and decoration here and there.

She then wakes up and describes a dream she had. She was onstage and suddenly she was saying her lines and everyone else's lines. She couldn't shut up. She talked and acted out the entire play herself while her fellow actors stood dumbfounded. She can't understand why she did it.

Whereupon the producer [Billy Rose they say] says: "That Freud sure knew what he was talking about, didn't he?"

Perhaps MR BK should consider directing LIGHT UP THE SKY at the Group Rep.
