Lest we forget, _State Fair_, which was an abominable screen musical more than once, was eventually made into a stage version which went from city to city (by bus, one imagines) until it finally (I believe) arrived on Broadway. I don't know the quality of the stage version, but I believe the inimitable John Davidson was involved, so one can only guess. The film of _The Shop Around the Corner_, currently being re-hashed in your local cineplex, was of course musicalized on screen, and then a different musical stage version appeared: _She Loves Me_. The film, it's worth noting, was itself based on a play (Czech, I believe). Sincerely, Edward R.
