I’m having trouble thinking of straight plays that were ill served by Hollywood casting.
Marilyn Monroe in seven year itch? She was brilliant and perfect
Little Foxes with Bette Davis? She was great and if they had used Tallulah ( obc) thé film would never have been made . They wisely gor Wyler to direct, and used the whole Broadway supporting cast. As a result the timing was very very good.
Shirley Booth in the Matchmaker? I’d have loved to see Ruth Gordon but Booth was brilliant .
