Julie Newmar turned up in another great film musical scored by Gene de Paul -- SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS.

My love for Li'l Abner knows no bounds. My love for Leslie Parrish knows no bounds. And believe me when I tell you that Li'l Abner was at the top of my Paramount list - but it's unfortunately problematic due to the Columbia album.

I first saw this in the very early 60's, I think I was about 10, I remember thinking it a strange & wonderful film (esp. in West London), a bit like a live action cartoon. It hardly ever showed up on British telly, so I'm very happy to have the DVD. The DVD is mono, was the film always mono? Thanks to hainshisway for trying, I suppose the good news is that problematic is better than impossible. I defy anyone not to smile when Stubby Kaye sings, Jubilation T Cornpone. Actually when he sings it there's a smallish girl dancer at the front who really puts her heart & soul into it, she really stands out, I haven't got a clue what her name is.

I also wanted to remix some of the musicals - White Christmas, Funny Face and Lil Abner. Paramount had the background music in stereo but all of the songs had been junked a long time ago. I guess the movies' soundtracks would come out sounding strangely inconsistent, but wouldn't there be some nice-sounding soundtrack CDs to be had from such elements, though?
