OverviewHigh Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Prettybelle is a musical with a book and lyrics by Bob Merrill and music by Jule Styne. Adapted from the Jean Arnold novel of the same name, its central character is a Southern woman who, long abused by her recently deceased law officer husband, turns to alcohol for comfort, becomes a nymphomaniac prostitute, and eventually is institutionalized. Bob Merrill and Jule Styne met with director Gene Saks for several weeks to work on the musical, but Saks eventually decided not to do the show. Merrill then suggested Gower Champion, who agreed to tackle the project because It grabbed me. Angela Lansbury liked the idea of an intimate show for a small theatre. The show was plagued with problems from the start. Merrill's and Champion's intent to bring to the stage the techniques and abstractions of avant-garde films never was fulfilled.
