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. :-)
Sacre Bleu!
T// is one of my faves, too.
The scene when the real Country Boys show up and have it out with the B/B is one of the funniest scenes ever put on film IMHO.
And of course .....the incomparable Aretha’s number “Think” in the dumpy diner.
Having played in a Blues Band a few years prior to the release of the BB movie, I can attest that some of the scenes in the movie were based upon reality. LOL!
And The Queen of Soul was in Top Form in that movie, wasn’t she?
