I never heard the E/P story of which you post-—but I’d like to.

Pinza thought he was set for life when he got a movie contract——his first pic co-starred the beauteous Lana Turner-—he played a King. Turned out to be the biggest flop and Lana detested him.

Author James Michener was in the South Pacific at wartime. He saw or heard the name Bali High......the name resonated and he wrote it down. The song was a very poignant moment in the film.

This is cute——— you can hear Pinza singing Anema e core in the 1980 film The Blues Brothers, playing on a phonograph in the scene where Jake and Elwood visit landlady Mrs Tarantino.

My Dad was a Veteran of WW2 in the Pacific, and “South Pacific” was his favorite show. He took my Mom to see it when I was a baby...it was the first time they had ever hired a baby sitter. LOL!

The E/P story was a long dramatized joke with a Yiddish inflection, and has to be heard to be appreciated. I looked and looked online for you but it is nowhere to be found. It had to do with a Jewish Taylor from the Bronx who looked just like E/P and had to keep fighting off female admirers. I couldn’t possibly write it out from memory, as I only heard it once...probably of a late night show about a half century ago.

YIKES! I’m getting old.

I LOVE the Blues brothers Movie, and i know exactly the scene. :-)
