Historia
He was an English author and one of the most widely read humourists of the 20th century. His creations include the feather-brained Bertie Wooster and his sagacious valet, Jeeves; the immaculate and loquacious Psmith; Lord Emsworth and the Blandings Castle set; the Oldest Member, with stories about golf; and Mr Mulliner, with tall tales on subjects ranging from bibulous bishops to megalomaniac movie moguls.
Musical
When the S.S. American heads out to sea, etiquette and convention head out the portholes as two unlikely pairs set off on the course to true love... proving that sometimes destiny needs a little help from a crew of singing sailors, a comical disguise and some good old-fashioned blackmail. This hilarious musical romp across the Atlantic, directed by the multi-award-winning Broadway director and choreographer Kathleen Marshall, features Cole Porter’s joyful score, including "I Get A Kick Out of You," "You’re the Top" and the show-stopping "Anything Goes."
Writer
Bill Benson y Ted Adams son dos estrellas del mundo del espectáculo que viajan alrededor del mundo en busca de las dos mujeres que necesitan para la comedia musical que preparan. Segunda versión musical de la obra de Guy Bolton y P.G. Wodehouse, tras la realizada por Lewis Milestone 20 años antes, "Todo vale" (1936). Sigue teniendo las canciones de Cole Porter, y vuelve a estar protagonizada por Bing Crosby y a ser desarrollada en un crucero, pero el argumento es diferente. Esta fue la única película dirigida por uno de los tres fundadores del Actors Studio, Robert Lewis (1909-97), al margen de uno de los fragmentos de Ziegfeld Follies (1945), y también representó el último trabajo de Bing Crosby para la Paramount, estudio al que estuvo ligado durante 22 años.
