[CJTELE]

He is a record promoter and Julie is his Ex He is drunk at the time that is the only apperance by Julie The rest of the movie he spends tripping over his own tounge because Jane Mansfield is his new act who can't sing The movie is a must see for rock fans Little Richard Gene Vincent Eddie Cochran and many more B movie class A talent

[Freyja1133]

@CJTELE Jayne mansfield's character acts like she can't sing

to get oiut owing a gsngster a favor.... on account of her father & that he helped him when he was in prison at the end of the girl c an't help it,JAyne mansfield proves that she can in fact sing

[CJTELE]

@Freyja1133  yes you are right

[pigsfly6]

ive never seen this before but i need to know whats going on at this scene becasue im doing "cry me a river" for my singing exam and need to know when and why the song comes into this musical. Could anyone tell me who he is and why he keeps seeing Julie London singing everywhere? thanks :)

[Bluzme]

Super song, best sung and made famous by Julie

[swingtheleadpipe]

Ah good lord Julie... I'd still nail you all day and night.

Young or old.

[Bluzme]

@swingtheleadpipe she died 11 years ago, so she's not old anymore

[swingtheleadpipe]

@Bluzme Scratch that thought then, I'm not into necrophilia lol.

This is BIKINI GIRL. My second fiancé in NY took me to see this movie, and this scene haunted him horribly. He never could commit. Well, Brian Spaeth can cry me a river! Thanks for posting.

[cinerama62]

Some songs belong to one singer, like this one. I remember Julie in the 70s show, "Emergency.

[TheOrchideya]

great! and also only Diana Krall can compare with her

[MrNunoalvares]

jajajajajajajaj: que bueno!!

[ilovesheenaeaston]

I found an autographed copy of the record he was holding in this scene at a record shop near Stanford University for $3 in 1997. Of course I snatched it up and treasure it! A fantastic singer--a unique stylist!

[sweetbutdaring]

@ilovesheenaeaston no WAY!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome :O :O :O

[RAch711baby]

LOVE THIS MOVIE!

[polkadotpolka123]

@MrRandom455 i like michael buble's version too, it's just that i love the way that in this version, there are only two instruments playing the whole time. I think that michael's version is too loud. but i think it's really good too!!

[sweetbutdaring]

@polkadotpolka123 yeah. Original's best version tbh

[polkadotpolka123]

omg. i OFFICIALLY LOVE JULIE LONDON!!!! the best version of cry me a river EVER!!!

[MrSteamhammer100]

what a great perform - Top Post !!!!!

[Kimoki313]

I'm really glad i've found this after hearing it sampled in a High Contrast track called Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

Don't check it out unless you like drum and bass. Especielly if you love thing song and hate drum and bass. You'll hate it..

But I love it...it's phat:D

[MrSunlazer]

Sexy and Fantastic!

After being married to Jack Webb (TV's Dragnet star/creator) Julie sang one of the greatest 'disappointed in love' songs ever. However I don't think she had Jack in mind for this one. Simply the best of a fabulous singer. In 1955-6 she had 4 straight top charted LPs, with 'Calendar Girl' and sexy Julie pinups being the best. I thought Julie provided a good balance to all the other rock performers (mostly male) seen in this film

[gfkd11]

Shes just marvellous--and the acteur too btw :-)

[stencil62]

Wow!

[aucksmix]

Julie's soft, sexy voice so fits this song - the best version by far. And what a sultry beauty she is.

Bellisimo.

[091Irina]

I really love this song! It's one of my favorite

[icecubemaster]

how to suck my balls

[krazylotty]

This is one of my favourite scenes from the movie, but seemed oddly displaced (not within the storyline, just in its tone or something...)

[GroovyBlackCat]

Well, there's a link - Julie London's husband Bobby Troup wrote the song The Girl Can't Help It. Perhaps they took advantage of the connection with the wonderful Miss London to get her in the film.

(If you want to see them both in action, Bobby and Julie appeared together in the fab 1970's series Emergency!)

[rogeredtabbit]

Julie London rocks. No one and i mean No ONE can sing THIS song like her. She sings it un-apologetically like the independent woman she is

[BirdOfParadise777]

Thank you for posting this video! I understand this song much better now. I could never figure out why it ended the way it did and it wasn't very practical to end it that way when singing it in public. Thanks again:)

BOP

[54nomore]

Susan Boyles rendition of this great song done beautifully here by Ms. London mirrors this version. Both are great! Take a listen to Ms. Boyles version of this song and you will be pleasantly surprised...

[54nomore]

I just saw the movie on TCM called: "Man Of The West" w/Gary Cooper and Julie London. I never realized Ms. London was also a screen actress. This lady is multi-talented and of course a great classic singer..

[latykai]

no one has done this song any better. ty for posting and the vid

[knobchock]

Such a great, jazzy standard. I haven't heard anyone ruin it. London's version is very smooth and direct. Krall's is more throaty. Streisands is dramatic.

[jburgar]

Vi esta pelicula hace muchos años, y me marcó. La escena de la canción y como se desvanece Julie London bajando por la escalera, se me quedo grabada en mi cabeza. Soberbia, maravillosa, PATRIMONIO DE LA HUMANIDAD,...aunque pocos lleguen a apreciarla. Un saludo a los que, como yo, aprecian el arte con gusto.

[MerleOberon]

The Julie London fashion show, a lot nicer to look at than Susan Boyle.....

[yankeegirl1210]

Hey kids...check out the movie "Pete Kelly's Blues" Fans of Jack Webb might be surprised to find this little gem of a movie. I only knew about it because I'm a huge fan of Ella and Peggy Lee. Enjoy!

[yankeegirl1210]

Hey Darlene1029-Have you ever seen EITHER movie? (Seven Year Itch or The Girl Can't Help It) IDIOT-don't comment on something that you know NOTHING about. Tom Ewell was in a few movies-not just "The Seven Year Itch"

[ericinwisconsin]

She was married to Jack Webb, who played Joe Friday on "Dragnet". Now, that's an interesting thought. I'm sure that Webb was nothing like his Dragnet character, but I have trouble imagining her singing this emotional song and him being 100% stoic. LOL

She was gorgeous and no one has ever sang this song like Julie did; not even the great Diane Schuur.

[robertsax]

I thought she was married to Bobby Troup.

[ericinwisconsin]

She was married to both! Jack Webb first, then Bobby Troup. According to Wikipedia (which we all know is NEVER wrong!), London's most famous single, "Cry Me a River", was written by her high school classmate Arthur Hamilton and produced by her husband Troup.

[Wisewoman77]

I remember seeing this in the movies as a little girl. I LOVE THIS SONG

[swingtheleadpipe]

She will be missed.

[lovelypersonlol]

i first heard it when watching V for Vendetta, and just fell in love with her voice...:)

[maddymud]

this song is mean scotch hangover and your love out the door ...

[maddymud]

Timberlake's crying river got nuttin' on this one!

[enothewonderdog]

I love Julie London..

I found this song just after an ex had left me. I'd bought the film on Video for my Dad

My mother thought I shouldn't watch the telly so she could point at suitable girls instead!!

[darlene1029]

Great song, it is from the movie Seven Year Itch with Tom Ewell and Marilyn Monroe

Might want to change that heading

[foxyfangbanger]

It actually is from "The Girl Can't Help It"

[darlene1029]

think you right, got the platinum blonds confused

also saw the premiere of both shows so memory's going, long time ago

[iloveilovelucy]

Class

[lasermate]

It seems like a hundred years since I queued in the pouring rain, just off Piccadilly Circus to see that film.

Thanks for a great memory.

[tkeitez66]

Julie had the sultry looks and voice to carry off that song just perfectly. She never got the recognition that I think she deserved. Great video.

[pcgamingguru]

What a song

[doll0116]

She was some babe.

[DJHuk]

Man, the woman had a cosmic wardrobe and a voice like a river, crying ...

[Shatallion]

wow THat was cool

[tukka1717]

MARAVILHOSOOOOO...BEAUTIFUL

[CheckpointSugarHoney]

it has nothing to do with justin's cry me a river right?!?!?!

[maddymud]

not that I know of

[aznfyrepixie]

Checkpoint, this has nothing to do with that shitty song. THIS came WAY before that shitty pop song and can't EVEN compare to London's "Cry Me a River."

[voidforpurpose]

One of the few restrained songs in the Fifties. No choruses, no violins.

Superb!

[Chachadu38]

Gros coup de coeur!!!

Its very beautiful voice...

[irgy709]

that video was awesome...

[22kaoz]

She has such an unbelievable voice... I'm gonna try to sing this in the sims on stage lol!

[garryvtwin]

[RAch711baby]

DaigoMoustache

[DaigoMoustache]

I adore this song AND this movie!

[duckyduck020389]

love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bluekarma]

the guy in this Tom Ewell was probably best known as the old hotel owner in the 1970's where Baretta( Robert Blake) lived. He used to babysit that white cockatoo bird!

[AuroraABC]

Tom Ewell is best known as the leading man of the Marilyn Monroe film "The Seven Year Itch".

[trumbulld]

Tom Ewell is best known as Marilyn Monroe's co-star in The Seven Year Itch.

[theflowerpower01]

Julie London one of the best Jazz singers and very good looking too, this one is her best!

[SolarTiger]

ahh...the nurse at Ramparts...get it?

[lajas46]

I SURE DO TRIXIE MCCALL EMERGENCY

[teriuera]

Does anybody know the end?

Do they stay together, or not?

I need to know,lol

[fortieschic]

Yep they stay together and hav lots of babies!!

[lajas46]

at the end of the movies he ends up with another beauty JAYNE MANSFIELD(MARISHKA(LA LAW:SUV) HARGERTY'S LATE MOM)

[Screamingdk]

She was almost as good as Peggy Lee.

[connorddg]

just like rock n roll high school. only its joey ramone

[CriticalListener]

That's Tom Ewell, not Glenn Ford. He's also in the movie "Seven Year Itch" with Marilyn Monroe.

[ANNAbiosis]

good to know, i always thought it was jerry lewis! haha. wish this vid was better quality, but it's awesome nonetheless.

[kaoz22]

She's fantastic

[Andremedia]

Glenn Ford showcasing his door-slamming abilities.

[Smashlee310]

This is the song off of V for Vendetta...

[pineull]

thats why i looked it, that film, unreal....

[safiya11230]

Julie London better give the movie some credit then, huh?

[DocHelliday]

love this movie, this song reminds me off V for Vendetta

[MaxwellsDemon2000]

I never saw this movie, but I like this part... so sad...
