    1. "You're not Bridget Bardot, I'm not Jack Palance
      I'm not Shirley Temple by any circumstance
      Or Fred Astaire

      You're not Sydney Tafler, I'm not Dirk Bogarde
      I'm not very stylish and you're not avant garde
      Or Lionel Blair

      We're as common as muck
      Bonne chance, viel Glück, good luck
      Where bold is beautiful we don't give a damn
      Luvva duck, we're as common as muck"


      Indeed. Jx

  2. What is this from? I love Bernadette. Mack and Mabel is one of my all-time favorite musicals.

    1. It's apparently from a made-for-TV "modernised" live action take on the Disney version of Cinderella, starring (bizarrely) Brandy (of "Brandy & Monica" fame) in the title role, Whoopi Goldberg, and Whitney-fucking-Houston as the Fairy Godmother! I never heard of it, either. Jx

    2. I do remember that version. I didn't realize they went the whole nine yards and cast Bernadette as the evil stepmother??? Hmmm. Very weird. Do you remember Diana Ross doing a television movie? I think she may have played someone homeless... like Lucy in Stone Pillows.

    3. The only film I saw Miss Ross in was Lady Sings the Blues. Oh, and I've seen about two minutes of The Wiz before turning it off in horror. Jx

      PS Don't forget here in the UK, we wouldn't get as many of these "made-for-TV-movies" as you do in your schedules (unless one went searching for such things on TCM or similar). We have our own "crap TV" shows to contend with.
