He would have been in his late teens in 1945, and I agree that this would have appealed to him. I don't know if you heard the Dr. Demento show where Lehrer played some of his favorite records, but it sounded like he enjoyed Noel Coward and Gilbert and Sullivan from an early age.

I do like his style, and this show was sort of between his early success, and his later success. (I think he quite the radio show because his movie career was taking off.) He's fine in the series, but he does seem a little out of place at times. I think he's better on screen.
