About This Item
"Having Wonderful Time, 'a comedy about New York City office workers at a Jewish summer camp in the Catskills, was produced and directed on Broadway by Connelly, opening on Feb. 20, 1937 (preceding of course the book publication with its appreciative dedication). The following year it was made into a Hollywood movie, starring Ginger Rogers, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. and Lucille Ball, screenplay by Kober, but with its Jewish ethnic humor sanitized. In 1952, with the adaptation by Kober, it became a Broadway musical under the title Wish You Were Here. (BA).
