The store detective grilled the intruder: “Do you really expect me to believe that you broke into this store in the middle of the night and did not have illegal intentions in mind? That you accidentally put on all the latest fashions and were about to walk out the door? What do you have to say for yourself?”
The intruder had nothing to say, mainly because she was a mannequin…

The mannequin had plenty to say! The detective liked roll playing with his piece of wood to pass the time. It was an inside job. Eventually the detective sold the plot to Hollywood where they demoted his character and made it into a cheesy 1980s movie called Mannequin. As for the detective and his piece of wood…

Have you ever seen Evening Primrose? A lovely little Sondheim piece about people who sneak into a department store and pretend to be mannequins, in order to escape the world. Veronica Lake could totally do it! 😉

Actually, I have never heard of this piece, let alone seen it. But it sounds quite intriguing and now I cannot rest until I see it..

It was a TV production shown in 1966, with Anthony Perkins in the lead. True to Sondheim, it’s both sweet and cynical. There are some song clips on YouTube, but if you can find a copy of the complete show it’s definitely worth it.

Is that Veronica Lake? If it is I didn’t recognize her without the sheepdog bangs in her eyes. But she always struck me as a mannequin type…

She definitely has a wooden quality, and a lightweight one at that. She’s a Balsa-Method Actress!
