When Beverly D'Angelo (Sheila) is singing Good Morning Starshine ...


... it is funny to see her hair whip around in that convertible.

I know they dub the singing in later but it might have been better had they pinned her hair back instead of having it slap her, in the face, every which way during the song.

I know how you feel, Mister. I hate it when my igneous rocks are even touched!

There was a ton of studio dubbing on this movie. Far too much motion going on in the scenes for them to try to keep the original vocals.

For instance, when Berger was singing and running after the horse in the early movie park scene. The jarring of his body would have been enough to mess up the sound.

All of the singers sang live on stage then again in a studio to polish everything up for broadcast.

All singing in musicals is dubbed. Always has been. The first movie to ever use live singing was 'Le Miserables'.
