This is amazing. Seeing Richard Rodgers as such a young man is a treat. These two worked in opposite styles, but were able to make it work, a gift for all of us. They were both brilliant.
Wonderful little excerpt. Despite the scripting, shows how they actually worked. Rogers wrote the music, then Hart supplied lyrics. With Hammerstein, it was usually the reverse.
In an interview given in the early 1960s, Rodgers said Hart had a strikingly handsome face that detracted slightly from his waspish frame and dwarfish stature. I can't say I disagree with Rodgers' blunt summation! One wonders how much happier, contented, and long-lived Hart would've been if not for those mild physical abnormalities that were seemingly the source of a great deal of his destabilizing insecurity.
This is too amazing! How wonderful to see these geniuses. Thank you so much.

Larry in his jim-jams!
A great musical team.I salute.their.memory.
Thank you! How wonderful.
This is a pretty accurate depiction of songwriting. And if you're a composer-lyricist, it's like talking to another version of yourself.
Wow, what a piece of history.
Thank you for posting this gem! Such great songwriters!

Here Dick and Larry write the tune"Here In My Arms"for "Dearest Enemy".
This is fantastic

Ah to be a fly on the wall
"Not bad!"
"Not good."

You know, people say that Lorenz Hart was "ugly," but I actually think he was rather cute.
