Zusammenfassung: A comprehensive and first-ever examination of the careers, lives and work of Betty Comden and Adolph Green, They Made Us Happy turns the clock back to the glamorous world of Broadway and Hollywood of the 1930s through 1950s, examining the creation of such shows as On the Town and Wonderful Town and such movies as Singin’ in the Rain and The Band Wagon. As it moves forward, the creation of such shows as Do Re Mi, Subways Are for Sleeping, and On the Twentieth Century comes to life as this pair of witty authors also pursues their lives as performers and moves on to become one of the longest-running writer partnerships in theatrical history. Beyond their work together, They Made Us Happy explores their collaborations with other artists, such as composers Leonard Bernstein, Jule Styne, and Cy Coleman, as well as their work with artists such as Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, and Vincente Minnelli. Offstage their lives were just as glamorous, and the book contains appearances by the likes of Charlie Chaplin, Greta Garbo, John F. Kennedy, and Jacqueline Kennedy, to name just a few.
