The Boy Friend : A Play in Three Acts Book

This was apparently reissued to tie in with the film version of the 1960s (from which I remember nothing save Tommy Tune's truly astonishing legs), and contains an affectionate preface and some charming pen and ink illustrations by the author.
It's hard to review a musical script in the absence of dancing and score - although just as I was thinking that, I discovered the tune to one of the numbers I'd been reading written out over the page! There is of course very little plot, but it's sweet and very good-natured, and we end up wishing all the various love affairs well. The only song I actively recognised was "It's never too late to have a fling", which I hadn't associated specifically with this show at all - so it was quite a surprise.

It's a script. It's bright, artificial and charming. The illustrations are a treat. What more can you say? I think I may have a piano score of this show on the shelf; I shall have to go and have a look now....
