| The film, while still excellent, leaves out a lot of the score and the Schneider-Schulz subplot, who were major characters in the original show. A remake using more of the original text and songs wouldn't be out of the question if one might consider it a show that, even with that great Fosse film, hadn't been actually mined of material that was sufficiently rich in its first stage version. Even productions nowadays still leave out the wonderful "Meeskite" which really has an almost kind of Anne Frank-like optimistic innocence about it even though it's sung by a man. I'm certain other guys could have pulled this off in performance besides Jack Gilford. A shame that someone like Hal Linden, a wonderful actor and still quite beautifully voiced as a replacement in the Sam Mendes first go-ground revival production, didn't have the opportunity to perform this number. It's always a treat when it comes on when I'm listening to the OCR. And Jill Haworth just IS Sally Bowles in her numbers. | |
