What was the last song Steve sang to Adam at the end of the movie that had the lines, " . . .in my youth, I must have done something [right?]" -- or something like that, and Adama started crying. I know I've heard that song from some musical but can't remember which one.

you must be straight right?
shareI love replying a year after the question...
It was from the show MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG with Malcolm Getz actually starred in on Broadway. Thus 'the connection'.

Actually, Malcolm Gets did not star (or even perform) in MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG on Broadway, which was a little before his time for things like that, in 1981. He did star in it off-Broadway, in 1994, and can be heard on the recording of that production, on Varèse Sarabande (though I'd recommend the original Broadway cast recording over the 1994 one). As for Broadway musicals, Malcolm Gets did star in one in 2002, called AMOUR, with music by Michel Legrand, lyrics by Jeremy Sams, and the charming score can be heard on the cd from Ghostlight. Malcolm G. is wonderful as the central figure, and the whole cast is excellent. Another great recording of a production starring Malcolm is A NEW BRAIN, produced at Lincoln Center (off-Broadway, even though the address is on Broadway) in 1998. Great score by William Finn, with a gay couple the central love interest--buy that recording, on RCA Classics.
ANYway, the song that Gets sings towards the end of ADAM AND STEVE is "Something Good," from the movie version of THE SOUND OF MUSIC, and written (both words and music) by Richard Rodgers. The song is sometimes (probably often) included in stage versions of the musical these days, though it was not written for the original Broadway production. Sadly, Oscar Hammerstein II was dead by the time the movie was being made, so he didn't write the lyrics to this song (or to "I Have Confidence," also solely by Richard Rodgers). OK--that's enough for now.
