DTS and EOY are major highwater marks for BF as a lyricist, tunes where he channels the glib, arch, and always robust phrasings of premier show tune artists such as Cole Porter and Noel Coward in a rockin' 70s update worthy of Fred Astaire the Crooner. Here in The States "Strand" was widely used as a name for movie theaters (just as "Roxy" was widely used) and I always thought that BF cleverly utilized the connection between the two names... Here's a link to 1916 Strand theater in a small town in Ohio that is still active: http://www.thestrandtheatre.net/history.htm |
