Normally, my range of interest in musical plays of all sorts begins in the ninetteenth century and ends in the 1950's or very early 1960's at the most, but there are a few exceptions. I have always wanted to see Man of La Mancha, after reading some of Don Quixote at university. Little did I know that none other than Olive Gilbert made a small appearance as the housekeeper in the live performance of the play. I learned this while researching her roles other than those with Ivor Novello. So naturally, this made me want to see it more. But I was expecting to find just the film. I had no idea I would actually find it with the original London cast and dialogue! Yet here it is! This is going to be fun!
