Infobox image[edit]

Nice start on the page, but I was wondering if further edits would be made to the infobox -- specifically, the massive size of the poster image. I would fix it personally, but I don't know how. Ashleyscripter 21:48, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Made the image smaller. JeanColumbia (talk) 00:07, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

removal of unsourced content identifying songs cut prior to release[edit]

I have removed the following unsourced content that had been added in the revision of 23:35, 4 January 2008:

Four of the stage show's musical numbers ("Come to Me, Bend to Me", "There But For You Go I", "From This Day On", and "The Sword Dance") were cut prior to the film's release. The Breen office refused to allow the use of the two songs the Meg Brockie character sang in the stage version ("The Love of My Life" and "My Mother's Wedding Day"^[1]), as the lyrics were considered too risqué for general audiences. With the omission of these songs, the supporting role of Meg Brockie was reduced in the film to scarcely more than a bit part. The minor song "Jeannie's Packin' Up" was also omitted. Some of this was done because, after listening to Gene Kelly's pre-recordings of "There But For You Go I" and "From This Day On", the makers of the film felt that the results did not show his voice to its best advantage, but some was done because producer Arthur Freed wanted to shape the two-and-a-half hour stage musical into a film that ran 108 minutes.

Feel free to identify appropriate sources so that this content may be re-introduced. Fabrickator (talk) 15:12, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
