Good guess, but no.
This movie was based in Europe.
Multiple Academy Awards - nine.

Based on a novella, not a play.
Not based in the UK.
But not far away.
AND you have the right songwriters.
One more push!

Please don't.
If you think about this Oscar winning musical based in France by Lerner and Loewe I'm sure you'll remember it well.

That brilliant sky
M: We had some rain
H: Those Russian songs
M: From sunny Spain
H: You wore a gown of gold
M: I was all in blue
H: Am I getting old?
M: Oh, no, not you
How strong you were
How young and gay
A prince of love
In every way

Ah, what a beautiful singing voice you have, chou chou. Is Paul ok?
Right..next up:
A Musical Film.
Can't think of anything to say that won't give it away so you'll just have to ask clever Yes/No questions, I'm afraid.
Ask away..

As promised, Paul committed suicide...he has asked me (his ghost) to carry on for him...
He wants to know was the movie based on a book or play?

That's really kind of you, Paul'sGhost, please send Paul our best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Good questions.
No to Tim Rice. :)
The movie was based on a stage musical, a book, and probably even a play.

did the play "hit the boards" on Broadway after 1965?
Or was it ever even on "The Great White Way"?

Hello, Casper. Welcome.
The stage musical did indeed play on Broadway after 1965, and London too, and won awards aplenty, as did the film.
I'm don't think I get the allusions ...that doesn't mean they aren't right. :/
