...stage is the only Eden that Coward knows about or cares about, and for half a century he has communicated his blissful delight with it. And that's what this new revue-styled evening of songs and patter off Broadway is-a blissful delight. There is the familiar and engaging Coward of Mad Dogs and Englishmen, I'll See You Again, Someday I'll Find You and I'll Follow My Secret Heart. These songs seem always to have existed, yet their sentiments are fresh as first love. The show also contains less familiar Coward, like...
...actors bother with this sort of stuff? Can one imagine a Herbert von Karajan conducting No, No, Nanette? COWARDY CUSTARD Age has not withered or custom staled the tunes and lyrics of Noel Coward. This animated musical anthology has been culled from a half-century of his songs and patter. For Coward fanciers, a substantial cult, the only word for the evening is enchanting. Retrospectively, one can see that Coward the lyricist has been the slyly sophisticated offspring of W.S. Gilbert. Satirically, he could spoof the empire's topeeless Englishman who went out in the midday sun because...
Bonnie Raito's is better suited for clubs than the open air. She suffered immeasurably with the sound system, neither she or her acoustic guitars could be fully heard, and I know I missed a lot of funny patter from up front. She calls it cruisin music, but it's really all blues...
...money, but you've got a car, listen to AM radio. WRKO is the AM leader--music, patter, pimple cream and boutique ads. But they often bend the playlist a little. I heard the full version of Yes's "Roundabout" there, and just today I heard the full five and one-half minutes of Jeff Beck's "Ice Cream Cakes." These occasional album cuts are the result of a successful attempt to undercut WMEX's listernership. MEX, under new management, dropped the album cuts, and picked up the games, commercials and patter for a reason no one's been able...
...dialogue is mostly stand-up comic patter, and the movie is virtually bereft of visual humor. Herbert Ross, who was also responsible for T.R. Baskin and the musical remake of Goodbye, Mr. Chips, continues to direct as if he were dressing a window at Bloomingdale's. Everything looks terribly fussy and sterile. Play It Again, Sam badly needs the headlong energy and comic chaos that Allen worked into Take the Money and Run and, especially, Bananas, both of which he directed himself. Allen's comedy is at its best when it is loose and utterly crazy, untouched...
