Fancy Free: then and later — 4 Comments

  1. Mr. Kriza’s style reminded me of Buddy Ebsen during his days as a hoofer, loose-jointed, seemingly lackadaisical, but very professionally controlled. Jack Haley was very good, but I still would like to have seen what Ebsen would have done as the Tin Woodman…

  2. It should be added that the, terrific, music for Fancy Free was composed by Leonard Bernstein. It’s worth hearing. Can be found via imdb and/or youtube.

  3. In the late 1960s I was stationed at beautiful Naval Station Brooklyn. I really enjoyed my time in new York. The USO was in Manhattan and the theaters would send their unsold tickets there to be given away. Usually the unsold tickets were for the expensive front row center seats. We were ordered not to wear our uniforms off duty because we might be attacked by a peace protestor. As far as I know, the Navy has completely left New York.
