THE DAMNED UNITED is indeed one of the best movies of the century. After seeing it I said to a friend that Hooper was going to make a masterpiece one day. So it frustrates me to see him make something as grotesque as CATS.

Glad you, too, love musicals. (May our tribe increase.)
You might want to amend your composer credits/listing for FUNNY FACE. After Gershwin should come Roger Edens, who wrote the additional songs with Leonard Gershe. Adolph Deutsch was a fine composer, but this was one of his musical comedy movie jobs in which his duties were limited to conducting. The list of distinguished composers who contributed to the dance arrangements and underscore were: Alexander Courage, Conrad Salinger, Van Cleave and Skip Martin.
As to Rosalind Russell's singing in GYPSY, Broadway diva Lisa Kirk, uncredited, was hired to re-do the portions of the Mama Rose songs where Miss Russell's vocal was considered inadequate. For comparison, without too much searching, one can find online versions of Russell's songs as heard both before and after Kirk's sweetening.
