1979 Was Awesome

Because Luci Arnez and Robert Klein were in a Broadway musical with music by Marvin Hamlish and a book by Neil Simon. It was just about their two characters (a lyricist and composer respectively), though each had a trio of alter-ego back-up singers. God I hope there were some fun surprise entrances. Love me one of those. Anyway, this was Luci's star-making moment and I think she's fabulous in her way. And Robert Klein (who you've seen in everything) is kinda adorable. But there is something fascinating and bizzare about this number. So tacky and cheezy but yet genuinely amazing. Like Ms. Arnez's legs. Watch below or here.



Also, see this commercial from a little later in the run (when Tony Roberts and Anita Gillette take over).
