This record is called Mike Nichols & Elaine May Examine Doctors, from 1962, on Mercury MG 20680/SR 60680. "Did you say Goldman? It's Coleman, the D is silent. As in Cole of the Isle of Mann, in France. And finally the vulgar Coldman in Florida." That explanation by Albert is from my all-time favorite movie, The Birdcage, directed by Mike Nichols. Perhaps click on this post's title to see and hear that clip from the film. Nichols also directed Spamalot, which we caught pre-Broadway here in Chicago. Their 1960 album, An Evening with Mike Nichols and Elaine May, was a recording of their Broadway debut and it won a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Performance. This one, their next album, called, Examine Doctors, was also nominated for a Grammy. After this record - they split up and began working on separate projects.Tuesday, May 10, 2011
