Alan Jay Lerner, Burton Lane
In order to quit smoking, eccentric Daisy Gamble seeks help from psychiatrist Dr. Mark Bruckner. Under hypnosis, Daisy describes memories of her 18th-century London life as the confident and commanding Melinda Wells. As Mark grows increasingly fascinated by Daisy's former persona, romantic complications ensue. Burton Lane and Alan Jay Lerner's melodic score includes the gorgeous title song, plus "Come Back To Me," "Hurry, It's Lovely Up Here," "What Did I Have That I Don't Have?" and "Melinda."
