Heh, hard to believe this is the same actress whose character in Designing Women sang "black man, black man, where did you come from? black man, black, where did you go?" I'm surprised she can sing very well. :o
WOW. That was beautiful, once again thank God for u2b (let it be known I just coined that one on this day of tue 7/7/09 2:47 am..lol ). Thank you mitchellivers for posting.
Excellent! I have the old 78 rpm record with this song but this is great to actually see her perfoming! Very different than I had envisioned listening to the record since I only know her as an older woman from later movies and TV. Thanks! The seach goes on for Eartha Kit performing 'Monotonous'.
This is from the great review New Faces of 1952, also staring Paul Lind, Robert Clary, and Eartha Kitt. I saw this whole video a long time ago. If anybody has more, please post.
They say Alice was the NICEST person in the industry!!!!

This version omits the bridge:
We drank till the strings of my heart all seemed to be knotted --
And even the palms -- they seemed to be potted --
I wonder why.

@ATsarIsBorn Copyright issues, probably. That section quotes a bit of "Begin the Beguine" and they'd have had to pay to use it in the movie.

@cdbpdx Monotonous is readily available on numerous Kitt compilation CD's as well as the import CD of the "New Faces of 1952" Soundtrack

I had no idea Alice Ghostly could sing like that.
