♥ "Dear Friend" (from She Loves Me) ♫ Barbara Cook

Song: Dear Friend
Singer: Barbara Cook
Composer: Jerry Brock

Album: She Loves Me - Original Broadway Cast 1963


"She Loves Me" is a musical and movie with a book by Joe Masteroff, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, and music by Jerry Bock.
The musical is the fifth adaptation of the play "Parfumerie" by Hungarian playwright Miklos Laszlo, following the 1940 James Stewart-Margaret Sullavan film "The Shop around the Corner" and the 1949 Judy Garland-Van Johnson musical version In the "Good Old Summertime".
It would surface yet again in 1998 as the Tom Hanks-Meg Ryan feature "You've Got Mail".
The plot of "She Loves Me" revolves around Budapest shop employees Georg Nowack and Amalia Balash who, despite being consistently at odds with each other at work, are unaware that each is the other's secret pen pal met through lonely-hearts ads.

The original Broadway production played in 1963, and the show enjoyed a West End production and award-winning revivals on each side of the Atlantic in the 1990s.

If you haven't watched the musical, you would just might also enjoy the movie version of it, starring Gemma Craven and Robin Ellis.
Someone (Bronxmom) has uploaded in YT the whole BBC Masterpiece Theater (TV movie sponsored by Mobil).

I still have the European standard (PAL, not NTSC) Sony Beta cassette of that movie, that I happened to have copied in early 80s.

Heartbreaking.

Thank you! this was lovely. As much as I love Gemma Craven in her role, Barbara Cook was the far superior singer...I would've loved to have seen her in this role and the original Broadway production..it's a shame it wasn't taped..
