  • Lovely Dorothy Dandridge (CARMEN JONES) stars in this Soundie from 1942. Watch for comedian Dudley Dickerson--a familiar face in Three Stooges comedies--as a two-gun hombre who shouts, "Yippee! Solid, man, solid!"

    The face & voice of an angel. Wish she was around today. What a talent.

    She knew how talented she was as a singer, actress and dancer. But she was caught in a social universe impossible to overcome. In memory she is highly respected and revered.

    I was a little kid when I was first introduced to Dorothy Dandridge on TV, and just seeing her made me fall in love for the very first time. She changed me completely. She transformed me from a normal six year old into Pepe Le Phew.
    Seriously. How can any living creature be so goddamn adorable?

      Very true, black artists were only allowed a narrow band of roles and this one was very suggestive for its time. The lyrics are very overt (for its time) but that seems to skip over everyone these days.

    Poor Dudley Dickerson seems to be afraid of the prop guns, but that makes his bit even funnier. If you watch The Three Stooges disorder in the court, Curly also seems afraid of the prop gun. His character is supposed to believe the gun isn't loaded, but the actor flinches and looks nervous.

    Without a doubt the sexiest version of this song ever recorded. She wasn't really known as a jazz singer, but this version tops Ella Mae Morse's and even Ella Fitzgerald's. By the way, I would pay a week's salary for one night in that saloon! And they even have a jazz harmonica player!

    @tf2whackyengineer Před 14 lety

    @zipper179 True, enough to be careful and use them safely is smart. I'm pretty well practiced with a few models, but still treat them with respect.
    I was just noticing that actors from the era were apparently afraid of the bang. It doesn't diminish their performance any, but watch Disorder in the Court (One of the best stooges shorts) and watch the scene where Curly thinks the gun is unloaded and pulls the trigger. Of course, Curly shot himself in the foot as a kid, so it could be nerves.

  • @drewsagar2634
    @drewsagar2634 Před 9 lety +5

    This is a great version & a true classic I was led here by the Ella Mae Morse version. Does any one know if that is Dooley Wilson on the keyboard? Another great version is Ella Fitzgerald's actually a favorite of mine

    • @valeriecampbell9581
      @valeriecampbell9581 Před 7 lety +2

      Dooley Wilson was not a pianist he was a drummer and singer his scenes in the movie Casablanca were done with a piano player hand double by the name of Elliot Carpenter, apparently Dooley would watch how Elliott played and then would mimic the movements

    • @drewsagar2634
