Verdon gave a legendary performance on Bway, and the chief pleasure of the film is seeing her recreate her numbers. Half the joke is that she was not conventionally irresistible -- but she could move as if she had extra bones and the pleasure she got in performing was extraordinary. Remick was a great actress and one of a generation of beauties who were also palpably brilliant. Too bad the production added gratuitous cute effects and didn't let us just watch her.
... Are you joking? Gwen Verdon was wonderful in the role. I thought she looked a little old, but her fantastic voice, acting, and dance shined right through her age. I could watch her performance 100 times and still love it. This woman... Sure she may look the part a little more, but I don't think she's any better than Miss Verdon (Who btw originated the role on stage AND in film)
My GOSH! Lee Remick is amazing!,, Darn! Where was I when this aired in 67? -- I most have been watching 'Get Smart' or 'I Dream of Jeanie' --- This is great!
this one of my fav songs from Damn Yankees after whatever Lola whats

Ok, she's about 1,000 times better than Gwen Verdon who was pitifully miscast in the Ray Walston movie.

When I first saw this tv version of"Damn Yankees"on NBC TV in 1967..I saw it as a live adaptation(Live on videotape..not on film).
