The Childhood Years: Stop The World, I Want To Get Off (2-DVD Set)
$19.95
There is a general image in America of childhood being some blessed idealistic time of pure happiness and play. Of course, this isnt' true. Childhood can be traumatic, though we rarely think about that. That's why I liked these film clips. They show in a very well ordered way what can happen to cause a child to be deeply unhappy and then offers constructive suggestions about what parents and teachers can do to make childhood a little bit easier for the little ones in our lives. It made me think.

Foxy was a great band from the late 70's to early 80's. Their music truly brings back memories of great times. I remember they played them all the time in the big clubs of the day. A truly great party band! I wish they'd made another album. I'm sure it would do well, somewhat like Chromeo has done well. I'm glad to see this album duo is still available. Buy it while you can!

Stop the World I Want to Get Off [VHS]
$19.98
Did you know that Anthony Newley never sold the film rights to Stop The World...? The studio's promotion notwithstanding, this Warner Brothers release (and the two additional versions that followed, with Sammy Davis, Jr. and Peter Scolari, respectively) are filmed records of the show in performance on stage. Newley was, in fact, so protective of this show and so concerned with the idea that it might fail to earn it's place in the musical theatre canon because of mishandling or misrepresentation that he twice refused to appear in filmed versions of the show. After the New York critics raved about him as an actor/writer (rather than writer/actor?) he obsessed that the show would be shrugged off as a star vehicle, useless without him. (Likewise, his followup show "Roar of the Greasepaint..." starred Norman Wisdom until producer David Merrick refused to present it without Newley in the lead!) For the first (and only good) "film" Newley endorsed his London replacement Tony Tanner, who had turned this show and role into something of a personal triumph when Newley left for Broadway. Any reservations you may feel about coughing up $20 for a non-Newley "Stop The World" will be found unwarranted when you see Tanner's brilliant star turn. Wry and cynical, by turns put-upon and smug, Tanner breathes glorious life into one of the most alarmingly ambiguous musical roles ever written. Dripping with adroit charm, yet roundly dislikable, Tanner is a marvel to behold.
