In 1984, two films came out that Roger Ebert pointed out were pretty much the same. Both about spoiled, over-sexed and potty-mouthed musical prodigies who wore the same costumes.
And both were great!
And both were great!
Half a Sixpence
John Cleese and Terry Gilliam met while appearing in a West End production of the musical Half a Sixpence, starring Tommy Steele. It was in the same production that Cleese met his future wife Connie Booth. The book for Half a Sixpence was written by Beverley Cross, later married to Maggie Smith.
