Ah, just got to the part of Pal Joey where we find out that Joey really does have a "heart of gold" because he doesn't rape Linda while she's passed out.
Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Hil, it's a song sung from a New York perspective. That line is kind of taking a swipe a California. No, California isn't cold and damp (well... San Francisco is....), but that's supposed to be the sort of snotty thing a NY socialite might say to be witty.
Huh. I always took it as one more example of contrariness - how out of touch she supposedly is with the popular crowd

I may have to dig up a copy of the original songs. I've only ever seen the movie, so I didn't realize there was that much of a difference. Now I'm curious to hear what got cut.

The show I'm working on right now is about Lena Horne, and has her version of Lady is a Tramp in it. It also deals with her interactions with L. B. Mayer (the Mayer in Metro Goldwin Mayer). For those who complain about the ludicrousness of how crappy movies get made with big budgets, it was worse under the old studio system.
We can argue about the quality of films between then and now, but the production process was much worse back then, in terms of how the moguls ran their ships.

I designed one of the first revivals of Babes in Arms back in 1998.

I think Lady is a Tramp and Where or When may be the only two songs that made it from the stage to the screen.

A few verses of Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered got cut for the movie. The "horizontally speaking, he's at his very best," and "Vexed again, perplexed again, thank god I can be oversexed again" verses.

"horizontally speaking, he's at his very best,"
One of the best lyrics ever.
