I did a summer stock performance of this play about 7 years ago. It featured a song which was, unhappily, omitted from the movie, namely, "My White Knight". Our Marian was a former Miss South Carolina (who I would have gladly had stamp my book anytime) and sang that stunning showstopper to glorious perfection every night. I would have loved to have heard Shirley Jones sing that song in the movie and wonder why she didn't.
That being said, I LOVE this movie, as do my wife and kids. Even my 12-year-old son who professes to hate performing anything (but does well with comedy and saxophone) loves this movie (and having seen his dad in the stage play). They sure don't make them like this anymore.
