starliteyes Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Many years later, this same actress would star in a couple of Broadway musicals, even though she wasn't a singer. Link to post Share on other sites
starliteyes Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 The actress married the male star of the movie and remained married to him until his death. Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 The song is "How Little We Know". It was written by Hoagy Carmichael and Johnny Mercer and was sung by Lauren Bacall in "To Have And Have Not". There was a rumor at one time that her singing in this movie was dubbed by a young Andy Williams, but that was not the case. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
starliteyes Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Completely right, Miles! The song is yours! Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Thanks, Starlit. Here's one you probably all know: There's a job that I'm applying for - Let me put it to you thus: It's a partnership I'm dying for - Mr. and Mrs. Us. Link to post Share on other sites
starliteyes Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 That would be George and Ira Gershwin's Could You Use Me?, sung by Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland in Girl Crazy. Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Yes, it's a very cute number and here it is: Nice work, Starlit. You're up next. Link to post Share on other sites

I have a DVD of Judy and Mickey doing this number on her legendary TV variety series. The outtake with Mickey Rooney after the end of the taped show is simply hilarious..... Star, I know you've seen it and you're still up. Link to post Share on other sites

I actually have the whole collection of Judy's TV show, and I've watched the one with Mickey Rooney a number of times; but for some reason, I don't recall them doing that particular number. I'm going to have to go back and take another look. And, yes, I like the outtake at the end of the show, too. I wish they had made more musicals together and that at least one of them would have been in color. I don't count Words and Music as being a Mickey/Judy musical. Link to post Share on other sites

MilesArcher Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 That is "That Old Black Magic", which was written by Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer. It was introduced by Johnny Johnston in the 1942 all-star revue movie "Star Spangled Rhythm". I couldn't find a movie clip, but here is the soundtrack recording: Link to post Share on other sites

starliteyes Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 The male star of this musical would only make a few more musicals before completely changing his screen image. Except for a couple of guest star appearances playing herself, this would be the last film musical for the female star, who would return to the stage and have far more success there than in Hollywood.
