From the Silver Screen, Part One

The idea of turning movies into musicals is not purely a recent phenomenon. This episode looks at the Broadway shows from 1953 to 1973 that were based on, among others, movies such as Ninotchka, Destry Rides Again, Nights of Cabiria, The Apartment, Some Like It Hot, and Smiles of a Summer Night. Performers include Fred Astaire, Eddie Fisher, Gwen Verdon, Jerry Orbach, and Sarah Vaughan.
