Love the movie, adore that scene, thanks so much! :) That song is one of my all time faourites, and they do it beautifully. Imelda Staunton has a beautiful voice.
Las películas de Brannagh son fabulosas y siempre reune un excelente reparto, tienen sentido del ritmo. Esta escena es tan buena como la interpretación de "sigh no more ladies" en "mucho ruido y pocas nueces" . Emma Thompson es una actriz y una persona adorable. Hugh e Imelda son un matrimonio divertidísimo en "sentido y sensibilidad".
I think that Hugh Laurie and Imelda Staunton are absolutely fantastic here.
He actually manages to play the trumpet and the piano at the same time...it's amazing. And it gives me goosebumps when Staunton and Emma Thompson sing in parts.
Here's the thing... the film tried to capitalize on the whole American ensemble character driven dramedy idea, and these actor are too good for it... it feels like it tried too hard somehow. Of course Stephen Fry can do no wrong. And this is a terrific take on a classic, which is great.
I've just found out that Rita Rudner's husband Martin Bergman was in Footlights and obviously had the inspiration for the story. (See Wikipaedia for the full story)
Although this film seems to be autobiographical about a reunion (ostensibly ex Cambridge Footlights) of those old friends; Branagh, Thompson, Fry, Laurie and Staunton, I was amazed to find that it was in fact written by Rita Rudner who plays the American starlet. It'd be fascinating to know her motivation.
in that opening line of the song imelda staunaton sings the most perfect, purest note i have ever heard. absolutely beautiful. if the movie ended after that song i could not complain i didn't get to see or hear the best part
I'm so happy to have found this video,I loved the film and ordered the soundtrack cd and it isn't included. These are all great actors and 2 of them are great singers.
this is precisely why i looked up this movie on youtube. best scene in the whole film. thank you so much for this. PLEASE DON'T DELETE IT!! love their version of this song.
Yes, Imelda Staunton has a stunning voice. "The Way You Look Tonight" is one of my favourite songs, and I would definitely say this is my ultimate favourite version. Awesome film too!
Thanks so much for posting this! After seeing the film, shortly after its release, I rushed out to get the soundtrack CD - and boy, was I feeling burned this song wasn't included in the compilation. For a film about some loopy people, this was a great moment...

Imelda's thin voice and 'rehearsing' presentation was just right for the films theme of nostalgia and poignant 'teetering on the brink of despair.'

this song is just beautifull! i think i've watched this lie hundred times.
Whenever i watch the film and this scene ends i keep pushing rewind until i hear the begining again. simply priceless.
