Miles, I'm doing this research only for you. I like Groucho Marx but I never really could sit through a whole Marx Brothers movie. LOL This is a song sung by Allan Jones and Kitty Carlisle in " A Night at the Opera ". Since it's a MGM movie Arthur Freed and Nacio Herb Brown wrote "Alone" for the two of them to sing in the movie. I hope this is the song that you're looking for. Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 You are correct, Princess. Some people only know Kitty Carlisle from "To Tell The Truth", but she was an accomplished singer who appeared in several movies in the thirties. Here she is with Allan Jones: You're up next, Princess. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

starliteyes Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 This was the third of four musicals she made with her male co-star. Link to post Share on other sites
starliteyes Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Film was originally intended for another star, who, just the year before, played the sister of the star of this movie in another musical which also had the same male star. Link to post Share on other sites
starliteyes Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 The song is first heard sung in Spanish by an unidentified trio. Immediately after their rendition, the female star sings it in English. Later she and the male star sing it as a duet. Link to post Share on other sites

Princess of Tap Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 " Tropical Magic" -- Weekend in Havana I actually bought this DVD in a closeout sale because I like Carmen Miranda, but I ordinarily wouldn't waste money on Fox musicals. LOL But what with Hermes Pan actually doing these dances, I think I actually even saw him dancing in the movie, along with that gorgeous Technicolor I certainly got my money's worth with this one. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

In the movie, the above lyrics are sung by King Edward VII during Eliza Doolittle's fantasy where the king proclaims a day to celebrate her. I'm not sure who provided the voice of the king. "Just You Wait" is one of the few songs where most of he vocal used in the movie is provided by Audrey Hepburn. The fantasy portion of the song, with "proper and prim" Eliza is dubbed by Marni Nixon. My favorite version of the song is by Julie Andrews, who played Eliza in the original Broadway and London productions of the musical. Link to post Share on other sites

The only version of the song is by Julie Andrews. I have both the Broadway recording and the London recording of the original casts. The London recording I like the best because she is more relaxed and gives more of a personalized creative performance. But I don't have to tell you that Rex Harrison and Stanley Holloway are the same on both recordings and just as brilliant in the movie. Bagel, it's your turn..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
