Description:
Interesting cast in remake of Roberta. |
Notes on songs: Lovely to Look At comes from the film Roberta and no lyric changes were made.
Otherwise, Dorothy Fields wrote new lyrics as follows:
For three songs, entirely new lyrics were written for songs which had previously had different names and Otto Harbach lyrics.
Opening Night replaced Don't Ask Me Not To Sing; The Most Exciting Night replaced Armful of Trouble; Lafayette was based on Clementina .
Fields revised the lyric for I'll Be Hard to Handle (originally by Bernard Dougall), You're Devastating (Harbach) and her own I Won't Dance.
The song When We Were Young does not appear in the film. A CD recording is available.
