A Newspaper Strike And Snowstorm Cost Billy Rose's Jumbo Being Box Office Smash in 1962

A Newspaper Strike And Snowstorm Cost Billy Rose's Jumbo From Being Box Office Smash 

 Billy Rose's Jumbo 1962 - Doris Day, Jimmy Durante, Stephen Boyd, Martha Ra - Bing video

        This wonderful movie, you're passing

up watching, because something that had

happened sixty years ago.

       MGMs Billy Rose's Jumbo was to 

be a box office smash. Continue reading,

to see, why a brilliant movie, was being

ambushed because of two things MGM

had no control over and why you should

all the stars, in this monumental movie,

a place in your heart to see. Jumbo the

three-thousand-pound elephant is a star

as Kitty said played by Doris Day in this 

famous musical movie with an all-star

cast. The top four are: Doris Day, 

Stephen Boyd, Jimmy Durante, and 

Martha Raye. It will take time to find

the rest in the credits, but give me some

time, and I'll find as many listed in this

beautiful movie.

        Did you know, Jumbo the elephant,

has feelings? Look at his eyes as he cries

real tears. He's a star just the rest the 

cast is.

        But I think all the animals are stars

too. Take for example the seals that get on

their ladder base, and climb up so they

can have the swirling red and white large

ball land on their noses. 

        What about the little dog that does,

summersault flips for Kitty in the

beginning of the movie. No, you can't

have a better movie. Why? this was 

before computers, to make larger than

life 3D simulation. This was real, from

the brawny strong men hammering in 

the large tent pins for the large tent to

house everyone, including the paying 

customers and all the animals in their

cages. You're having your family miss,

a real treat of an actual circus, as was

done in 1935. It opened on Broadway

famous at Hippodrome, in New York

Jimmy Durante was the main star,

with the directors: John Murry-

Anderson and George Abbott.

     The other stars were, Donald Novis

 and Gloria Grafton.

     Jumbo opened on 11/16/1935 and

closed on 04/18/1936 after 233 greats

performances. If you look, you will see,

the famous Hippodrome in New York.

This includes the inside as well.



     This was shown in this building, in

1935, and the building was started in 

1905 in New York. The building was 

torn down. However, here's the very

picture of this building and the inside

too.


       In New York, Billy Rose's Jumbo,

opened up at Radio City Musical Hall.

     The main cast members: Doris Day,

 Stephen Boyd, Jimmy Durante, and

Martha Raye. (The rest the cast will

 be added later.) 

       This didn't do well at the box office,

because in 1962 there was a newspaper

strike and a snowstorm, which deadly

combination cost it at the box office.

       Your children will get a kick out the

animals, but Jumbo is a star, as 

Doris Day would have said.  

      The movie is wonderful to watch.

      Doris Day sings her heart out, while

   helping others with their training. A

   prime example, is encouraging a girl, to

   get back on her swing.  Kitty, (Day)

  sings to her. he helps a young man, by 

  encouraging him, and he does it. 

      

       Yet most persons are programed by

the media. The media has neither has a

heart or feelings. It's mechanical, like a

robot. Jumbo has more heart and feelings,

then the media would ever have.

     Give Billy Rose's Jumbo a fair shake,

see the elephant Jumbo be a comedian

and a star. Watch the seals balance the 

large red and white swirl ball on their

nose.   

        This movie was only up for five weeks.

        Think about Doris Day and the top

 cast, who had their hearts crushed.

        This was before computers, and you

 watch strong men building the tent for the

 circus. They are hammering the pins in, 

and the big tent is raised.

       Parents, this movie about the big

 top circus struggling to stay afloat. It's

 entertainment with accurate details

which includes everything you would

see in a circus.

        Is that really fair? You don't watch 

a seven-ton African bull elephant who

plays his own musical notes on his horn.

      You miss a large elephant, play mad

elephant. (The Original Jumbo was 

seven-ton African bull. I must find more 

research, to find how much this weight 

for this elephant. Yes, the downfall is 

these teary-eyed African bulls, are very

docile. The original Jumbo drank much

whiskey with Scott. Yes, when Scott

forgot one night to share whiskey with 

Jumbo to drink, he pulled out of his bed.

Jumbo was a real elephant with a very

 tiny elephant Tom Thumb. However,

this was screen play, taken from real life.

They admit Tom Thumb for good reason.

        Both on Broadway in 1935-1936 and

the musical Billy Rose's Jumbo in 1962,

have a happy ending. Please keep this

version in your mind. I know the true 

story of Jumbo. Keeps this comical,

beautiful elephant in your mind and 

heart. (If you're a Jumbo historian, I

advice you keep to yourself, and lock 

in the back of your mind and throw 

away the key. They wanted to make 

this a happy ending. In my mind, I'll

keep the happy ending. Think of both,

your children and grandchildren. Give

them a happy story about a struggling

circus, that makes it through, even after

the storm rips through the large tent.

Everyone is alive including Jumbo.)

     You miss Doris Day as ballerina, and

also, many acts from her white horse, to

standing up and getting up in the air.

     You miss all her singing, as well as

a full cast Jimmy Dorante, as a clown,

ring master and more. 

   The cast is an all-star cast.

   

  A storm rips the main tent, the girls

 are human butterflies, which meant,

each woman, had to bite down on a bit

in mouth, while in the air as beautiful

butterflies. I have found not another 

movie that shows this.

  The men have positioned the nets for

 one woman to jump at a time into the

 net. Kitty (Doris Day), said she can 

 hold on get the other ladies first.

      Kitty is saved by the character,

who's played by Stephen Boyd.

      Kitty said:" I was really scared."

The character played by Stephen Boyd,

said" I was scared too."       

 




Send In the Clowns are going to be added,
even when Jumbo was first produced, it didn't
 exist. However, since you love good clowns,
           many men and woman are going to sing this 
very beautiful. That I always loved.
It was composed by Stephen Sondheim in 1973
for the musical in 1973
"Smiles of a Summer Night". You find even 
comedian versions that the audience loved.
