            <description><![CDATA[The hit movie, Singin' in the Rain, made the transfer to the stage, first in London in 1983 and then two years later, on Broadway.

            <description><![CDATA[Barbra Streisand reprised her acclaimed Broadway performance as Fanny Brice for the movie of Funny Girl and she won the Academy Award for her efforts. She was perfect as Fanny, even if she might have overplayed some of the scenes. Omar Sharif, on the other hand, was rather odd casting as Nicky Arnstein.

            <description><![CDATA[Richard Harris was the perfect King Arthur and he went on to play the role later in stage versions. Vanessa Redgrave, although an acclaimed Academy Award winning actress, was, at best, fair in the role of Guenevere. Her singing, especially, was weak and this was one time where dubbing would have been a plus to the movie. Franco Nero's lack of English is apparent in his acting, which was unduly stiff and unnatural. His singing was dubbed by Gene Merlino.

Although Vera Ellen played the younger sister, she was, in fact, seven years older than Rosemary Clooney. Danny Kaye's role was originally offered to Donald O'Connor, but when O'Connor was unable to appear in the film, the role was altered to better match Kaye's special talents. Bing Crosby played the fourth lead role. Visit my website to learn more about Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, and Vera Ellen.]]></description>
