There is a reference to the Millie Rose Mame medley. If you watch it, when they come off the stage, Florence clearly screws up the choreography - she was late on it. Either she hadn't practiced enough, wasn't good enough at it or perhaps didn't care much anymore.
If the Supremes made more money off the song than the film made, then it was a true disaster - because the Supremes weren't making a lot of money; Motown was.
I would agree with the posters who say Love Is Like An Itching, Heartaches and World is Empty are the best songs; The Happening can stick in your ear if you listen enough but that only happened to me once and I tend to skip it. Love Is Hear was the weak Supremes song and it was still a massive hit.
It doesn't really matter who was on The Happening, You Can't Hurry Love, Love is Here, In and Out of Love - like all Motown acts, what mattered was Gladys, Martha, Smokey, Diana - the lead. It's only an issue with the Supremes because they and Diana were the biggest acts with the movies and the hits.
