  • does marni nixon dub the singing in My Fair Lady? She sounds like the Eliza in that movie :)

  • @RafikiGurl123 marni was also one of the Nuns in Sound of Music, singing how do you solve a problem...also, this one and yes, my fair lady, which I think they should have kept Julie for Eliza.

  • true

    

  • she has a great voice

  • @treetop150 no she doesn't. that's marni nixon dubbing in the singing for debra kerr.

  • Some songs just enter into your spirit.

  • @steph35uk--Yes, whenever we are touch at core, as this music does, it stays with us forever. And it's healthy.

  • As a youngster I was moved by the music of R&H -- still am; as a man I'm moved by the words of Oscar Hammerstein II, more and more. I discovered him in this musical--the text to "I Have Dreamed." That is what this man does with no limits. Thanks for sharing.

  • @VocalMechanics I was as youngster too and I still am moved by their music everyday

  • Such dreamy music. Just beautiful.I have always loved musicals too.

  • ...and the soft mist of England was sleeping on a hill, I remember this and I always will ...

  • he say mr bean

  • My favourite lines

    "You'll fly down the street

    On a chance that you'll meet

    And you'll meet

    Not really by chance"

  • This is a true story. They have what they believe are the true pictures of Anna and her family, if you look it up. It is an interesting story, and there have been a couple of books written about them. Worth a read...

  • how come woman don't look like that now, there all like sumo wrestlers,or gladiators

  • @kopynd1 Hahahaha!!how true.Its a totally different age now.

    What a lovely song...so moving and poignant.These songs are as fresh now as they were in 1956.Rediscovering this film and have ordered it on dvd.

  • totally agree with Muzikfree4jzuz. Today's music is so laced with profanity that half of it has to be bleeped out. Whats the point? So you can curse...yeah for you. So very sad.

  • @alanivox So true!! All you hear is meaningless lyrics, with such bad tunes...and not to mention the belting voices that sing them!!! The pure legit soprano voice is lost in today's musicals, with very few retaining them (The Light in the Piazza being a ray of hope :D)...and everyone prefers the belt voice, as you don't need as much training to access a belt and chest voice...deplorable.

  • That...was...amazing

  • Hello young lovers whoever you are~ I hope your troubles are fused. All my good wishes go with you tonight~ I've been in love like you~ Be brave young lovers and follow your star Be brave and faithful and true~ Cling very close to each other tonight~ I've been in love like you~ I know how it feels,to have wings on your heels and to fly down a street in a turan. You'll fly down the street and a chance that you'll meet. And your meet... Not really by chance~~~
  • @coolcater96 few not fused...trance not turan...nice job!!!

  • Dont cry because im alone.

    All of my memories are happy tonight

    I have a love of my own~~

    I have a love of my own my yours. I had a love!..of my own~~~~~~~~~~~~!!

  • @coolcater96 Don't cry young lovers whatever you do....Don't cry because I'm alone...etc.

  • Omg; Come on ppl..Give the animated version a break. I happen to adore both! Of course, there willnever be another king or Ana like Mr. Brennar or Mrs. Kurr..But the Actors & Actresses that voiced it; as well as the animation were wonderful...I'll admit there are certain aspects the animated version lacks; but that doesn't mean it's 'Crappy' as you so rudly put it!

  • Deborah Kerr was one of the only musical stars who gracefully accepted the fact that she was an actress, not a professional singer, and didn't have issues with her dubber.

    She was too wonderful to have that kind of hubris, and I love her even more for it.

  • @collieness Just guessing -- Do you think that might be an Aussie attribute? All I know about Australia (having been there and read everything about her), there's nothing I don't like.

    The underfunded Australian Broadcasting Corporation, washing the aborigine maltreatment laundry in public, Rob Sitch, Cate Blanchett, (forget about Mel Gibson), and Steve Irwin. (By the way, if any of you go to Australia you'll find most folk live in cities.)

  • Thanks for posting-I lived this and the next generation hopefully will get to appreciate this extraordinary work.

  • does anyone know where i can get this whole movie from?

  • Anyone who dilikes this song is crazy!

  • Realmente esta gran pieza musical es una obra de arte,es de lo mas dulce,tierno y me trae grandes y bellos recuerdos de una época en donde se realizaban magnificas obras musicales como esta,espléndidamente ejecutadas.Cuanta nostalgia por tan bellos tiempos.

  • I love the lyrics to this song, but my main problem with it (like my main problem with a lot of Oscar and Hammerstein musicals) is that I feel like they run out of ideas towards the end of each song. The last few lines were so repetitive and killed the climax of the music for me. But it's a beautiful song nonetheless and it's one of my favorites

  • This song always makes me cry. Absolutely beautiful.

  • @TheBlueorigami

    Me too, lol. It's such a poignant song.

  • @MabiGal93 Well, I think that the dalek on my dresser will answer that question for u... but no, u r right, disney has come up with some great moments, and since writing that comment, my view has changed. The origional is great, but the remake isn't that bad.

  • Beautiful.

  • Perfectly exquisite!

  • This song is exactly how I feel today. And yesterday. And yesterday...

  • it's so funny in a way because all the women do not understand English, they must be like "What the hell are you saying lady?"

  • I love this.

    I'm starting this with my coach next week! :)

  • All of Oscar Hammerstein's lyrics were so beautiful and fit so amazingly with the story they were portraying. Ole Man River is my favorite all-time song, which he wrote to Jerome Kern's music. I am a great fan of Oscar's genius and all his wonderful work. Also, his lyrics went perfectly with Rodgers' music in all their work together.

  • @fogradar No you don't want the cartoon version! I am 15 and a musician and this is one of the most beautiful compositions I have ever seen. I don't need it poisoned by some crappy disney cartoon

  • @Tardisgir1 Ok I will admit I disagree...I happen to lvoe both versions...But I have to ask you...Is that Tardis I see on your username? A dr. who fan perhaps? :D Lol

  • I WANT THE CARTOON VERSION DAMN IT XD

  • @frogradar No, no you do not. In addition to being badly animated and badly sung, the cartoon version is just wierd; they kill a magical sea monster with Whistle A Happy Tune. I'm not even kidding.

    I don't think I have to say anything else.

  • @frogradar that horrible movie ? I used to love it , then I saw this one and I quickly forgot about it. BUT this is my opinion and I respect yours. :)

  • It's amazing to think how a young scottish lady could speak pure english, I have been trying for 54yrs, excellent movie,bye the way who is singining the song.

  • @kopynd Marni Nixon. She also did the singing for Eliza in My Fair Lady and Maria in West Side Story.

  • @KurtCobain198666 hey I didn't mean to strike a nerve. I didn't say that all modern music is bad :/ just the nasty junk

  • Oh, another lovely Rodgers Waltz.

    Only Strauss can top him.

    (Lehar comes pretty damn close though)

  • She says don't cry, but I can't help myself :(

  • So beautiful.....I a singing this tomorrow for my voice recital hopefully i can do as well as this actress did!

  • @sexyDRhb actually the actress didn't sing it, the "ghost singer" marni nixon did.

  • @Iaminlovewithmusic42

    o thanx for correcting

  • Why don't they make musicals like this anymore? Or music like this anymore? It's so beautiful and romantic and sad.

  • Nice song!

  • just the intro brings me to my knees

    so beautiful. love this so much

  • Beautiful song especially for people who have lost life long wives or husbands , Marni Dixon was the voice of many stars who couldn't sing

  • Beautiful and classy Ms Kerr assisted by Marni Nixon .They mixed and matched their voices. Result is Magic. Another star of the era, Maureen O'Hara,nearly got the film role.And she was a fine and rarely used soprano.Look her up on Youtube.Talented ladies all three.

  • This song is so beautiful. My school is doing this show and this is my favorite.

  • This is music. Not that cussing junk they have now. I love musicals! I could watch them all day :)

  • @Muzikfreek4jzuz modern music is different it's not junk....

  • @Muzikfreek4jzuz not all modern music is cussing, don't be so uncultured. Some of the greatest albums are my 'modern bands' released in the last 20 years

  • @Muzikfreek4jzuz not all modern music is cussing, don't be so uncultured. Some of the greatest albums are my 'modern bands' released in the last 20 years

  • i totally agree with you on that. i watch nothing but musicals. and yes, this is music.

  • i think this song is amazing. the whole movie is excellent. im right into the musicals. i am a singer and sing all these kinds of songs

  • same here.. alll i sing is musicals its like my voice has adapted to them

  • I always wondered what Tom looked like, since the woman comments how attractive he was.

  • Comment removed

  • @Doylefromhell The 1999 animated version shows what Tom looks like, would it be possible to combine both songs from both versions (example:1956 footage, 1999 audio, vice versa?)

  • Beautiful! :) A song for all lovers.

  • Yes I loved that song and the rest of the music in the movie as well. It was said that in certain respects, R&H had a "pipeline directly to heaven" regarding their music. It did take some getting used to when I realized that it was Marnie Nixon who was singing these songs instead of Ms. Kerr....

  • Love that song..
