''A Saint She Ain’t'' is a musical with lyrics written by Dick Vosburgh and music by Denis King. The piece is inspired by ''Le Cou Imaginaire'', by Molière, but the story has been updated to an American port in the 1940s. The characters are based on famous performers of the era, such as Jimmy Durante, Mae West, W.C Fields, and Rita Hayworth. ''A Saint She Ain’t'' depicts a young couple who, receiving bad information, each believe that the other is unfaithful. The musical deals with the repercussions of love, jealousy, impulsiveness, and deception. ==Plot synopsis== The musical is based on Molière's ''Le Cocu Imaginaire''. Set in the 1940s, the play parodies wartime musical movies of that era, with characters based on film stars of that era. Snaveley T. Bogle, based on W. C. Fields, is married to Faye (based on Mae West). Ray Bagalucci (based on Jimmy Durante) has a daughter Anna (based on Rita Hayworth). She is involved with Danny O'Reilly (based on Gene Kelly). The sailors Willoughby and Skip, reminiscent of Abbott and Costello, most notably perform a version of the famous “Who’s on First” routine. Anna Bagalucci proclaims her intent to marry Danny O’Reilly,a sailor on leave. Anna’s father Ray strongly opposes the marriage, as he has always wished that she will marry a rich man. The relationship between Anna and Danny becomes unstable when Anna suspects Danny of infidelity. While this is going on, the aged drunk Bogle sends Danny in a different direction when he suggests that the actual Mrs. Bogle is Anna, not Faye. After Bogle’s remarks, Danny begins to believe that Anna has secretly married. Similarly, Bogle believes that the sex-obsessed Faye has left him for Danny, though her attempts to seduce Danny fail. As the actions reaches a climax, the malapropistic Ray attempts to prevent Danny and Anna’s wedding, while Willoughby hooks up with Anna’s best friend, the dancing Lovette George. In the end, the central conceit is revealed, after which Danny and Anna marry.
