A once-in-a-lifetime hit leaps from stage to screen. People saw it, said it, sang it. From London's West End to Broadway to middle America and the world, the cry went out: Stop the World - I Want to Get Off! Share the visual and vocal delights of the innovative Anthony Newley/Leslie Bricusse musical whose title became a catch phrase and whose songs became standards for recording stars and bathtub warbles alike. What Kind of Fool Am I?, Once in a Lifetime, Gonna Build a Mountain and more tunes from the songmiths who also teamed on Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory are among the highlights of this stage production recreated for film. In the spotlight are Littlechap (Tony Tanner), an Everyman who is more ambitious than wise, and the lovers in his life (all played by Millicent Martin). Curtain up! Stop the world... start the play!
