I challenge any film maker today to do a sequence like this.
-
I remember Ethel Merman doing live shows on television in 50's. She still had that great voice.
-
I have fallen in love with Sunnie O'Dea. Does anyone know what else she was in?
-
Good God. Play some electro house over this and you'll realize she is b-boying the shit out of the other dancers. And at least half a century before anyone else started doing it..
-
It doesn't matter. Al jolson couldn't sing either, he had a terrible, raspy voice, and could barely carry a tune. But...what a personality and what "delivery." Same with this lady. Great performers both of them.
-
@bchfront: When did you visit the Masquers?
-
God i wish that i could see her precious shoe metal taps
-
Gosh, trying to listen to Merman is like facing an artillery barrage, keep your head down and sit it out...
-
WOW! Sunnie O'Dea was terrific! Why haven't we seen more of her?

This is a production number from Strike Me Pink (1936). The movie featured Ethel Merman and Eddie Cantor. The choreographer is Robert Alton, who mimicked the style of Busby Berkeley, who had choreographed earlier Cantor movie musicals.

will never understand her success. always off key and outta tune but LOUD. But then, loud covers lack of ability to actually carry a tune.
Like today's so called musical acts.

I must totally disagree: I have posted a clip of here singing a softer musical number and she pulls it off very well. Ever heard her 2 Victor 78s from 1932 ? I have both and she sings softly and beautifully on them !
Victor 24145: SATAN'S LITTLE LAMB
Victor 24145:I'VE GOT A RIGHT TO SING THE BLUES
Victor 24146 HOW DEEP IS THE OCEAN
Victor 24146 I'LL FOLLOW YOU
Now I will admit that I like Lillian Roth's voice better though.
