Thanks so much for the link! It was a great curiosity-quencher. If it's okay, I've folded my further remarks about it into my reply to Nalkarj above.

Doghouse6 folded remarks noted and ed. I've never paid much attention to "Applause" and was surprised to learn that it was All About Eve based. It was out of my Broadway- play going timespan and slipped past me. More on Bonnie Franklin's stage career included in this link Bonnie Franklin IMDb trivia page(^^^ RE: debut and swan song )

For those interested in seeing Sanders do some untypical character work (pictured below) far removed from his usual charmingly caddish urbanity, check out 1942's rollicking The Black Swan, which features Tyrone power at his swashbuckling-est and Maureen O'Hara at her flamiest, along with the always-delicious Laird Cregar.

Thanks, Doghouse6 ! Now you’ve definitely piqued my interest re: Applause—sometimes the flops are just as (if not more) interesting as the successes. I actually only saw that version of Sweeney recently, but I pretty much loved it. BATouttaheck Applause for applause for Applause? Thanks for the link, m’friend!

I actually only saw that version of Sweeney recently, but I pretty much loved it. That represented what I consider the optimal way of committing a staged production of a book musical to film or video (as opposed to adaptations for those media). You get the benefit of various angles and framing for emphasis or scale, yet retain the basic sense of continuity, momentum, pacing, performance and viewpoint of what would have been the experience from any number of ideally-placed orchestra seats.
