what film is this? i LOVE that number!!!

[daveholm]

A little known 1940s musical called The Perils of Pauline. I must've viewed it over ten times on dvd. It's pretty underrated.

She was a class performer!!! What energy. She can sing and swing....A great act.

This film was made in 1947, but this scene is supposed to be taking place in about 1915. Typical of Hollywood at that time, this song has absolutely no resemblance to American music in 1915 and is completely of the 1940s, since it's basically a boogie-woogie - that's the "rumble, rumble, rumble" part.

I've liked Betty ever since I started seeing her old movies on TV in the 1960s, but a little of her can go a long way, with the crazed exhilaration that sends her arms and legs flying.

betty hutton was simply amazing! i am trying to find all of her movies on dvd. i am having a tough time trying to find them all..she did about 35 movies that i know of. hopefully, the studios will release more of her movies on dvd, or maybe come out with the SIGNATURE BETTY HUTTON COLLECTION. that would be cool.

i am a new huge fan of betty hutton. it really burns me that most of her movies are not available for dvd. they're just rotting away in some studio vault..
