I missed seeing her a few years back when she appeared in Branson, MO for a couple of years (I lived in the area, but was unable to attend). Two of my favorite movies featuring the actress are "Finian's Rainbow" and "Goodbye Mr. Chips". Great performances in both films by Petula among others in her career.

...rather than deal with their problems.
I was 14 when this song came out in 1965 and just thought it was a good song. I wasn't corrupted by this innocent little ditty.

(205,320 posts)10. Same here. I was 12 and I just thought it was a catchy tune.

(737 posts)6. We saw her live in High Wycombe in 2016
Brilliant. She's a phenomenen. It's unbelievable to think that she has sung in front of Churchill, Montgomery... and me!

I did not know she is nearly 20 years older than I am.
