Annette Funicello - Dream Boy

[videofan792]

That is very nice of you, thank you.

[videofan792]

Thank youk, ncatt. Do you think you could possibly put the scene I mentioned on YouTube? I don't know if that is asking a lot but it was my favorite scene from the whole movie, where the Italian woman fights back in her own kitchen with all the pots and pans being thrown about and then she comes back into the restaurant right at the very end and sings the last few bars, LOL. I would love my grandchildren to see that scene because their mother and I watched it so many times.

[ncatt]

@videofan792 I'll dig out the disk and try to post it, just give me a little time.

[videofan792]

Sorry, I meant "Escapade in Florence".

[ncatt]

@videofan792 I made this clip from the complete (video tape) movie. It was originally a 2 part Disneyland TV show

[videofan792]

There is another scene from "Adventure in Florence" where the bad guys come into the restaurant and a fight ensues in the kitchen, while the family is singing the Drinking Song, in Italian, of course. Do you happen to have this scene as well?

[MsInchristalone]

Love this movie!

[rossinilove]

I don't think I've ever heard a bad word about Annette. Apparently, everybody who worked with her loved her. I met a guy who had played in a couple of the beach pictures and he had nothing but wonderful things to say about her. She was one of my first crushes, too. God bless her.

[JohnnyGNV]

Someone needs to put on YOU TUBE

ANNETTE'S rare single recording of "Bella Bella Florence".

All of Annette's

records deserve a CD presentation.

[susantyrellfans]

Me and 1,258,659,8248 other guys crushed on Annette.

No, the voice of Nino Castelnuovo was provided by a young actor -singer -dubber Gianni Marzocchi, famous "ghost singer " for dubbing in italian musicals like My Fair Lady and Doctor Dolittle, he also played on stage the part of Freddy Einsford Hill in the italian production of My Fair Lady with Delia Scala as Eliza. Gianni also recorded "Bella Bella Florence" as a single with Annette!

[KyplayaZ4lyfe]

I LOVE THIS WOMAN!

[fellinian]

Wow!!! Nino Castelnuovo...so young!!!

[CatchyJ]

I love Annette because she's a 'good girl' but at the same time she's totally cool - she was never uptight or prissy. Awesome

[dasuit15]

the guitarist looks like bob gaudio from the four seasons

[TVGUIDE1963]

We need a Annette Funicello DVD Mega Set Boxed Set

[ncatt]

We have one already, it's titled "Frankie & Annette, MGM Movie Legends Collection". This is a collection of 8 of their movies === Beach Blanket Bingo / How to Stuff a Wild Bikini / Beach Party / Bikini Beach / Fireball 500 / Thunder Alley / Muscle Beach Party / Ski Party.

[Ezdduf4kuZ]

keep it posted. The real dreamboy by Annette solo is the I like best altho this is entertaing too. It is usually the way it is with the doowop sound...in that it can't be duplicated, not by an older rocker like me that as an ear for the original recording. Thanks for posting.

[Ezdduf4kuZ]

This is not the original, but it sounds okey just the same. Besides we have a video to go along with that Dreamboy. The originals all sound better particularly when it comes to doowop sound. Thankyou for keeping this version avaliable.

[greszkinov]

I wish I could find this film(?). It looks really fun. :D

[VSmith741]

@greszkinov They never released it on DVD, sometimes it's on AMC

[sgsk1bt]

love this movie!! but how can poor annette sing with such a tight waist!!?

[444mariam]

★★★★★

[rosypixar]

bravi!!!

[Lyndeeee]

I like her with Tommy Kirk too! I even liked him better with her than Frankie Avalon.

[Snookiebutt]

Wish the old Disney would come back too but I am affraid with todays society, all we can cherish are the memories of the old films.

[lotsandlotsofbubbles]

i absolulely LOVE her dress!! why can't we wear clothes like that today????

[coreyfeldman2x08]

Annette was a beautful young woman

Tommy Kirk was such a handsome young man

I wish old school disney came back

I would love to see the full movie if someone upload it

[hughharman]

Lady - get the food to the table before it gets cold!

[lotsandlotsofbubbles]

lol!! omg! :P

[wiIdchats]

I was once her brothers daughters dream boy.

[Shazzasky]

I liked Tommy Kirk better with Annette in the Disney films than Tim Considine. His characters he played were always scummy. Tommy Kirk was always sweet with Annette.

[GinaToySculptor]

God bless the ever lovely Annette ~ your fans always hold you in love and prayers!!!!

[Zippertheslipper]

Take her dancing and prancing and such, that is what I like. ;)

[ncatt]

Please avoid anymore comments about what you believe her health is except that she has MS.

3rd party statements are not always factual, nor are they welcome.

[jonneyd]

god we miss you annette hope u doing well. i  know u lost your eye site. hugz

[echovarde]

For all young people in 2009... look at the youth and vitality of Annette. Unfortunately, read her biography... how tragic... we are all mortal... what a sad ending for such a classy lady.

[irelephant]

It's true that nobody stays young and vital forever, yet Annette has dealt with her physical challenges with grace, courage, and acceptance. In her own words "God knows what he's doing.." By the way, she's still alive and has the love and support of her family, her Disney family, and her many fans. We just need to respect her privacy at this point, and send our prayers and love.

[123JDB789]

Excuse me while I remove the drool from my keyboard....

I truly envy ANYONE that ever had the opportunity to meet ANNETTE in person.

There are not enough words, or not enough letters in the alphabet to describe this wonderful, beautiful, sexy lady!

[CatchyJ]

fantastic dress - and that figure!

[jotolove]

did she speak ITALIANO?

[jorgecubria]

You make my big mouse ears blush of pleasure when I see and listen to you

[detgal]

I love Tommy Kirk too! What a talent...

[mlec91283]

Annette Funicello is my ideal woman. She is virtuous, graceful, refined, articulate, a noble lady. I admire her for not following the salacious paths of other Hollywood actresses; she was true to herself and her values. Annette had a secure sense of self and purpose in life. I cannot think of any other actor/actress who exemplified Walt Disney's mission. Also, she sings so beautifully and has really progressed as a singer. It's no surprise that Tommy Kirk and that other guy would fight over her!

[ncatt]

Back in the late 50's and 60's there were probably zillions that would have fought over her, not just Tommy, Nino or Frankie.

[MrsDavidHogan]

@ncatt Zillions I agree, but not Tommy Kirk.

[tdr92594]

I LOVE TOMMY KIRK!!!

[tlw1950]

I love Annette!

[unbeso3]

omg! i love how the dress looks on her

[shutixa]

Did Nino actually do his own singing on this? Thanks for posting!

[ncatt]

As near as I can tell, he did. You also have to consider this was 1962, TV and a studio recording with enhancements added. Not uncommon then or even now. Time has a way of changing how people sound.

[shutixa]

Thank you so much again for posting it, what a treat!

[mwald888]

I love this movie. My sisters and I used to watch this movie all the time. I never knew the title b/c the VHS tape only read "Annette". I later found out the movie's called "Escapade in Florence". It's a great movie and she's a great actress. I love this song!!!

[JohnnyGNV]

I like Annette's single version of this song ~ I could do without that guy singing alongside her in this clip - her own record of DREAM BOY

actually hit the Charts back in the

early 60's although it wasn't one of her bigger Hits.

[cookidoh093]

good voice

[Hevynly1]

Wonderful upload! Would love to see the rest of this if you have it available for upload!

[sallie6]

Excellent clip....thank you so much for sharing this - such a talent xxx
