Anything Goes (1978)
Remember “l Get A Kick Out of You,” “Let’s Misbehave,” “lt’s Delovely,” “You’re the Top”? This 1934 musical comedy Combines; all those favorites plus ten more of Cole Porter’s hits in one of the funniest shipboard romances ever to hit the American stage. Sailing aboard a luxury ship bound for England are a handful of silly, love-struck characters who get in and out of each others’ ways, complicating each others’ lives and uncomplicating them in the end. Passengers include Reno Sweeney (the part that made Ethel Merman famous); her friend Billy Crocker, a stowaway on board to be near young and rich and beautiful Hope Harcourt; Moon-Face Martin, Public Enemy #13; Mrs. Harcourt and Sir Evelyn Oakleigh. lt’s a funny look at 1934 morals and mores. This musical blockbuster with a cast of more than 20 will leave your belly laughing and your feet tapping.
