@MJLatora MJ: ’56 Mercury hardtop, probably a Monterrey. Model years debuted in August and September back then, for the coming year. Would have been brand-new when the movie was being filmed
I can’t believe no one mentioned the Sesame Street parody of this song, “Can Read”:
‘I’m reading this book here about a pioneer
who rode his horse all over the old frontier
can read, can read
a book, something you can read
a good book is all you need
and you can read’
@Tehsoupman12 Congrats. This is kinda ironic … my theatre company is also doing Guys & Dolls, but I’m playing Nicely (I’m a 14 year old girl) and my 10 year old brother is playing Rusty Charlie. HA!
@Dianaemanuel – Agreed. One regret I have is that I never got to see (either because I was too young or I was too poor) the original Broadway versions of classics like “G&D.” I have a DVD of the original cast recording, which I treasure, and which I prefer much more to this version (even though I like it enough). It’s too bad they can’t film the Broadway productions and show them at a later time, after their run is over.
@strawbaby1 Nicely-Nicely from the movie was played by Stubby Kaye. He died in 97. He was also Marvin Acme from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I saw a high school production of this play years back. Fugue for Tinhorns has still got to be one of the most organized songs ever.
@Ace5846 are you really THE Nicely-Nicely from the movie with Sinatra and Brando? If so, I think that is awesome. I have seen this film many times and love it every time.
This film never really worked. I think it was a combination of miscasting and various songs being dropped from the Broadway score. By rights the film should be a winner. As it is, it’s only ‘so so’.
I love Fedoras and I was the first to wear them in my school and then a bunch of ppl copied me and the only caps that don’t look gay r Yankee caps cuz I can’t stand caps
@gooeyputty da fuck man, rusty is a god, and you better do him justice.

We did this is our choir, it was funny watching the three men soloist trying to do this and act. Great times. You just can’t resist older movies:]
I’m Nicely, Nicely in our high school production of this play. Time to become a tenor 1.
I was in this in my high school play I was the blind man and gambler who said “were sick of this”

Challenge Accepted.
