Publisher's Summary:
Hear actor John C. Reilly, director Jake Kasdan, and songwriter Hugh Martin, on this edition of Fresh Air.
The new film Walk Hard: the Dewey Cox Story is directed by Jake Kasdan, woke up in the middle of the night a couple years ago and had an idea that his next film would be a fake music biopic called Walk Hard. He went on to cast John C. Reilly as Dewey Cox, the music legend at the heart of the story who has trouble with women and drugs and tries on a multitude of musical personalities. The film also features Jenna Fischer from NBC's The Office, and was co-written and produced by Judd Apatow. Apatow and Kasdan worked together previously on the critically acclaimed TV show Freaks and Geeks. (Original Airdate: 12/03/2007)
Along with Ralph Blaine, Hugh Martin wrote Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. The song was made famous in the 1944 film Meet Me in St. Louis, but since then, many different versions have been recorded with changes in lyrics. Martin also wrote music for Broadway productions including Best Foot Forward, Look Ma, I'm Dancin' and the stage version of Meet Me in St. Louis. Martin is 95.
