anythinggoes move 1936

Anything Goes is a fun-packed but hardly faithful adaptation of the same-named cole porter Broadway musical, with additional songs by hoagy car michael among many others. Set on a luxury liner, the story gets under way when Moonface Mullins (Charlie Ruggles), Public Enemy No. 13, slips on board disguised as a bishop. As he weaves in and out of the story, Billy Crocker -(bing crosby) romances Hope Harcourt (Ida Lupino), titled Englishman Evelyn Oakleigh (auther treacher) also pursues Hope, and brassy entertainer Reno Sweeney (eathel merman) chases after Sir Evelyn. Critics in 1934 complained that the original Broadway production's Victor Moore was replaced by Charlie Ruggles, but none could fault eathel merman;s rendition of "I Get a Kick Out of You", nor her duet with bing crosby You're the Top" (the only two songs retained from the Porter score!) Anything Goes was remade in 1956, again with crosby. and again with little fidelity to the original (this remake required MCA Television to retitle the 1936 version as tops is the limit.
