I've been trying to catch up on my old musicals lately.  It's a genre I didn't quite grow up with and have always been a little ambivalent about.  Never could get a handle of those "walking down the street and bursting into song" musicals.  But PAL JOEY is not of that particular mold.  Most of the songs are "natural," in the sense that Joey is a nightclub singer.  Rita Hayworth's number, "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" is the only number that doesn't take place in a club setting, but then again people in love have been known to sing to themselves in their boudoirs, so that's OK too.
