no, never seen the movie...im too young LMAO!
from wikkipedia: The Family Way is a 1966 British comedy-drama film based on Bill Naughton's play All in Good Time (1963). It began life in 1961 as a television play entitled Honeymoon Postponed.[SUP][2][/SUP] The film was produced and directed by John and Roy Boulting, respectively, and starred father and daughter John Mills and Hayley Mills. Naughton adapted the play himself. PLOT: Following the wedding of young Jenny Piper and Arthur Fitton (Hayley Mills and Hywel Bennett), a rowdy reception is held at a local pub where the newlyweds are subjected to much well-meaning but vulgar ribaldry. The couple returns to the Fitton home to spend their first night together before leaving for a honeymoon in Majorca, but they are followed by some of the wedding guests who keep the party going until early morning. Worse yet, when the youngsters finally are permitted to retire, their bed collapses as the result of a practical joke. The next day they discover that the travel agent who sold them their tickets to Majorca has absconded with the money, and they are stranded in rainy England. As days pass into weeks at the crowded Fitton home, the marriage remains unconsummated. The strain between the couple steadily worsens, with Arthur working nights as a cinema projectionist and Jenny spending her days behind a record counter. Not knowing where to turn, Arthur visits a marriage counsellor, but even this has a disastrous effect. The interview is overheard by a gossipy charwoman, and the young couple's unfulfilled marriage becomes a major topic of public gossip. Arthur becomes the butt of scornful jokes from his boss, Mr. Thompson, who volunteers to satisfy Jenny's marital needs. Enraged, Arthur strikes his boss and returns home to berate Jenny for disclosing their secret. As a result of the quarrel, their mutual inhibitions are dispelled, and they make love for the first time. They then find that the A.B.T.A. bond has returned their holiday money. The following day Arthur is encouraged by his mother to ask his father (though there is a strong hint that Arthur was in fact sired by a close friend of the man he takes for his father) for financial assistance with the down payment on a house for him and Jenny. The money is gladly granted, and Jenny and Arthur leave for a belated honeymoon. CAST: Hayley Mills as Jenny Piper Fitton Hywel Bennett as Arthur Fitton John Mills as Ezra Fitton Marjorie Rhodes as Lucy Fitton Avril Angers as Liz Piper John Comer as Leslie Piper Barry Foster as Joe Thompson Wilfred Pickles as Uncle Fred Liz Fraser as Molly Thompson Diana Coupland as Mrs. Rose Colin Gordon as Mr. Hutton Murray Head as Geoffrey Fitton Margaret Lacey as Mrs. Harris Harry Locke as Mr. Stubbs Robin Parkinson as Mr. Phillips Thorley Walters as The Vicar

MARIO LANZA "volume II:1949-1951,the great lanza" cd,2003 i won this one on a radio contest a year or so ago...cant remember the question i needed to answer correctly in order to be the winner, but i was! i did know of Mario previous to this, mainly his racing career in "mario kart" on nintendo64...LOL, no seriously, my dad used to have a Mario vinyl album from back in the day, heard it a few times, did nothing to turn my ear or attention, probably because i couldnt understand a bloody word he was singing... anyway, im assuming that by the title of this one that it is some sort of compilation from the 49-51 period... i like the melodies and tunes,however, i still cannot understand a bloody word he is singing, and for that alone i do not like it... look, not bad for background music, not really my thing but this guy was a superstar back in the day, so cannot really knock him i guess... i did not score this one, because i couldnt and wouldnt know where to start with it, so below are a couple of links of tracks contained within this twenty-three track set. o sole mio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow16u4SuwDY from a movie he appeared in the loveliest night of the year http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VeiwX5wVtw one of the handful of tracks he sings in english on the album

PAUL McCARTNEY & CARL DAVIS "liverpool oratorio" cd, 1991. Macca's first sojurn into classical territory since "the family way" in the mid 1960s... album came about when the Royal Liverpool Philhamonic Orchestra commissioned him to compose a piece of work to celebrate their 150th anniversary in 1991... both Macca and Davis just kept on composing and created a complete work... the vocals on here are performed by a choir from liverpool, the whloe movement is split up into eight parts...war,school,crypt,father,wedding,work,crisis and peace....each of those parts are again split into several parts each... the story is autobiographical of Macca's life up until that point apparently... apart from some very quiet and almost inaudible musical segments this isnt too bad an album...but i wouldnt say i either like or dislike it, its just what it is... the classical music critics at the time crucified this piece of work for its simplicity and lackof depth, maybe thse guys are right, i dont know, but knowing McCartney's music like i do they are probably right because he has never written anything that isnt simplistic, and rarely achieves anything that ventures into 'thinking man's' territory(not that theres a problem with that, thats just the way he rolls!)

that sounds wacky
so the conversation had to go like this Spokesperson for the orchestra - "Sir Paul, Royal Liverpool Philhamonic Orchestra would like to commission you to compose a piece of work to celebrate our 150th anniversary." Paul - "Of course mate. Let me present you with piece I wrote about ME."

LMAO!!!!!
never thought aboutit like that, but i guess thats what it came down to!!!...afterall, i think Macca does believe he is the greatest...but he's not, Ali is!
