25: Broadway to Hollywood 'I dont think there has been a really great film musical adapted from the stage. The best ones are those that are written as film musicals to begin with, like Singin' in the Rain. Certainly My Fair Lady was not as good, nor was Camelot, nor was South Pacific.' (JOSHUA LOGAN) Douglas Fairbanks Jr traces the progress of stage musicals that literally went west from the Broadway stage to the Hollywood studio.
