For what it's worth, I still think a "musical" is a movie that has its performers breaking out in song and dance for no particular reason with no one else finding it odd or out of place. Others that are generally catergorized as "musicals" are merely movies with a great deal of i...

My first memories of Peter Graves was as Jim Newton in the Saturday morning western themed show, Fury.

Meet Me In St. Louis

Re: I'm Dickens, He's Fenster per IMDB: Sitcom about two young blue-collar carpenters: the married one Harry Dickens, and the bachelor Arch Fenster (with his 'little black book').
