Damn Yankees

It was a pleasure to see the talent of Gwen Verdon and Bob Fosse.

I waited to long to view the tape and found the sound and picture don't match. Did not return because of the time but am very disapointed in the quality as the music is one of the best parts of the video and it is now uncomfortable to watch (Kinda like a dubbed Japanese movie)

Have enjoyed this movie before in VHS format so we were happy to "upgrade" to DVD

This if one of the untypical musicals of the time period as it deals with baseball. The characters are great for their roles....one of my favorites.

If you have any love for GOOD Broadway theatre, you will love this movie. It not only contains quite a few of the original Broadway stars (Ray Walston and Gwen Verdon just to name two) but quite a number of the supporting cast as well. In other words, this casting is a dream. And to be honest with you, Tab Hunter, in one of is earlier works hard at playing Joe Hardy and quite nearly pulls it off.

The singing and the wonderfull dancing really pull this show upwards. Especially when you can see Gwen Verdon dancing with her real life husband, choreographer Bob Fosse in the "Who's Got the Pain?" number. A real show stopper.

This in one DVD you will play, again and again every time you want to remember what the Golden Age of Broadway was like, or just want to get a great taste of good theatre transfered to the screen. Get it and enjoy it!
