>I love Audrey Hepburn but she didn't sing in the movie - Marnie Nixon did (quite well, but the snub to Julie Andrews represented some of the worst of Hollywood-think)

Yeah, I knew that. Audrey Hepburn couldn't sing to save her life, or so I've heard. Yes, Marnie Nixon was great, but she's no Julie Andrews.

I recommend seeing if your library has the original cast album with Julie Andrews (1957 I think)

Now that you mention it, I *have* heard it, silly me. Gary has it and has played it for me (probably after watching the movie <g>).

>Worst example of above mentioned Hollywood-think - Man of LaMancha where Richard Harris and Sophia Loren - neither of whom could sing but both of whom did - replacing Richard Kiley and Joanne Diener who could sing and did on Broadway and were transcendent.

>( I've been told my knowledge of and interest in musical theater is unique for one of my sexual persuasion <bg> )

Nope, you're not unique ... sorry! ... Gary's the same way. =0)
