Title: A fool and his money...
Product review: I knew better when I read who wrote it, but I was suckered in by the reviews and the mega-cast. Comden and Green! This was pure Broadway: witless, dull, stilted, wooden, boring, dinosauric (if there is such a word), I walked out on "Applause" in NYC in 1970 aching with boredom and angry. My advice is not to waste your money. But everyone else seems to love it. So... I could just hear Adolph Green saying the "funny" lines. And the speeded up photography sequences were not so cute. Only Judy Holliday and Jule Styne saved "Bells Are Ringing," though Comden and Green (their only talent, and they're almost very good at that) wrote some acceptable lyrics. There now. So crucify me. Bells comes out on DVD March 15th. I'm waiting with great anticipation and happiness.
