Nearly a decade before "Glee," this was Todd Graff's “Camp,” a disarming 2003 film about a musical-theater camp for kids. The movie includes bits from a couple dozen songs by the likes of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Stephen Sondheim and Winnie Holzman, but the highlight is the full staging of a number from the Hal David-Burt Bacharach musical-comedy, "Promises, Promises," with choreographer Jerry Mitchell recreating Michael Bennett's dance moves from the Broadway original. This is about as close as "Promises, Promises" will ever get to the big screen.
The number: “Turkey Lurkey Time”
The composer: Hal David and Burt Bacharach
The singers: Alana Allen, Dequina Moore, Tracee Beazer and company
The choreographer: Jerry Mitchell, based on Michael Bennett’s original staging
The dancers: Allen, Moore, Beazer and company
The cinematographer: Kip Bogdahn
The editor: Myron I. Kerstein
The production designer: Dina Goldman
