Sunday Classics preview: "Love is a thing that has victims"

Get past the cinematic razmataz and you get to the "Fugue for Tinhorns" from the film version of Guys and Dolls, with Stubby Kaye and Johnny Silver, who originated the roles of Nicely-Nicely Johnson and Benny Southstret on Broadway, and Danny Dayton as Rusty Charlie. We're going to be hearing more from Nicely-Nicely and Benny in a moment.


No chatter tonight, just -- as promised last night -- the title songs from the three shows we sampled. As regular readers know, we like wherever possible to start at the beginning, so why don't we start with an overture? -- Ken

Overture and "How To," from How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (1961)

Robert Morse (J. Pierrepont Finch), vocal; Elliiot Lawrence, cond. From the Original Broadway Cast recording
