Yours Sincerely

Fans of this delightful short ought to seek out the full musical treatment (sadly with little more music but one Broadway cast holdover) three years earlier of Rogers & Hart's Broadway musical, SPRING IS HERE . . . or at least the comments filed under that film's title.

The show actually registers slightly better in this abbreviated form since the Hollywood know-it-alls chose to omit so much of the theatre score in transferring the stage work to the big screen. The short preserves nearly all of the music and lyrics used in the full film(!) and the "Broadway Brevity" doesn't lose any essential parts of the screen story.

These Broadway Brevities are essential documents for any theatre historian in preserving a number of shows not otherwise recorded.
