You're lovely!

Now THAT'S Lovely!

Zero Mostel, Phil Silvers, Jack Gilford, and Buster Keaton:

A bevy of beauties from Forum, the 1966 movie version,

music Stephen Sondheim, direction Richard Lester.

"Lovely"

Eileen Brennan,

the original Irene Molloy, milliner par excellence,

in the original production of Hello Dolly!

We'll hear Jerry Herman's "Ribbons Down My Back."

Another Jerry Herman production that didn't knock everybody's socks off:

Dear World.

Above, the show's star, Angela Lansbury..."Each Tomorrow Morning", and 

"I Was Beautiful"

Gotta have this number in a Beautiful Edition:
"Beautiful Girl"

with Jimmy Thompson and that marvelous fashion show in

Singin' In The Rain.

This song was written by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed,

for Stage Mother, a 1933 pre-code flick. 

And speaking/typing of Beautiful,

Donna McKechnie in A Chorus Line,

with "The Music And The Mirror."

Then from Seven Brides For Seven Brothers,

Howard Keel "Blessing (Jane Powell's) Beautiful Hide"

in the movie of 1954.

Johnny Mercer lyrics, and the music of Gene de Paul and 

Saul Chaplin.

Then from Hairspray,

"Big, Blonde, and Beautiful"

with Marissa Jaret Winokur, Mary Bond Davis, and Harvey Fierstein. 

Over the top!

 

And from the movie Funny Face,

we've got some advice "On How To Be Lovely"

from Audrey Hepburn and Kay Thompson.

So now you know how,

thanks to Roger Edens who provided additional tunes

to this originally-all-Gerswhin creation.
