13 Films with no traditional "music soundtrack" ( except rolling Credits..)
( I believe that Bullit ( or Bullitt 1968) has a full soundtrack by Lalo Schifrin ..) Sure but it is no traditional soundtrack: most of the music is diegetic (the characters can hear it) and it is notoriously absent from critical scenes (e.g. the car chase). 13 films based on plays first performed in the 20th century. 1. The Music Man 2. A Thousand Clowns 3. Rent 4. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? 5. Funny Girl 6. Hairspray 7. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof 8. Peter Pan 9. Sleuth | | | | Last edited: by Wigram |

| | Posted: | | | | Hairspray is interesting... kind of like Little Shop of Horrors... an inexpensive film becomes a Broadway hit when it is adapted as a musical, then that musical becomes a second film. So, yes to the second film version of Hairspray, but the first film fails this category. | | | If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

| | Posted: | | | | I had a similar concern that the plays for Peter Pan and Pygmalion had antecedents, but I think they're correct for the wording of this list because there are movies based on the plays, not on the antecedents. I'll conclude the list with another movie based on the play, rather than on the prior work the play was based on.
