Everyone’s seen Hello Dolly, but how many of you have seen The Matchmaker? In my opinion, the story without the songs is much better.

In The Matchmaker, an older, meddling widower specializes in matchmaking. While she sets her sights on the gruff Horace Vandergelder, she also helps a poor young couple find love. Shirley Booth is two tons of adorable, and her characterization of Dolly Levi is endearing rather than annoying. The young couple is played by Shirley MacLaine and a pre-Psycho Anthony Perkins. They’re both adorable and perfect as the proverbial “romantic leads” in a theatrical (The Matchmaker was first produced on the stage, just like the musical).
