      Yeah, I was stunned to discover that "Smitty" was 38 when she made this film. She passed away at 91 in 2019. Obviously blessed with good genes that kept her looking youthful. However, those pigtails and glasses were clearly intended to make her appear much younger. They certainly worked with me.

      It made $6.3 million. Not sure of the budget. Nowhere near the success of the play (which was hugely successful and won a Pulitzer and many Tonys), but as many have pointed out, the climate changed a lot from the early 1960s to when the film was released in 1967.

    • @jochenstossberg5427
      @jochenstossberg5427 2 роки тому +4

      If the film version had kept all the songs from the original show and the dances, that made it a smash hit - it might have had a chance - but they dropped them. It flopped because everyone who had loved the show were mightily disappointed in the film. They didn't actually make a film of it, they just put the camera in front of the actors and hoped for the best. It was screaming out for a director who knew what to do with stage material, but they didn't have one, sadly, and it bombed.
