Millicent Martin - "Stop the World, I Want to Get Off"

[kaunasprince]

I was stationed in the UK (London)1964-1967 and a just fell in love with Millie.

What a great performer with a great instrument, and man was she ever CALIENTE!

Hi, Weightfeather

I don't think Millicent sang Alfie in the movie. Course it was over 4 decades

ago, so I have only a vague memory.

I do remember that the program of Side by Side (Sondheim) said in her

bio. "I never made another movie. No one asked me." Too bad

musicals were out of style when she would have been perfect

for them.

Peter Scolari and Stephanie Zimbialist did a version of this on A&E some years back and  it was much better in my opinion.

Sorry, this just does not work. None of the poignancy, humour and wit of Newley or Quayle.

Millicent Martin was in the movie Alfie about 40 years ago. Saw her on stage in Side by Side some

20 years ago.

Stop the World had some great songs.
