Stephen Sondheim - A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum

Musicals used to be popular with the4 general public, and even with film critics.  They used to regularly win the Best Picture Oscar.  This one didn't, although it did win best musical score.

 


This was Buster Keaton's last film appearance.  He even did his own stunts despite having terminal cancer.

    That looks like fun -- the American musical is a great genre.

    Thanks for sharing Borepatch. I do not know I have ever watched it all the way through.

    It is interesting that the genre essentially dried up and never regained the popularity it once had.

    Wonderful cast, and very funny. It would upset too many snowflakes these days.
