Leslie Parrish and Peter Palmer, as pretty a pair as ever stepped onscreen--sigh--and nothing ever happened for either.

Who'd have thought that right in the middle of the dopey show there'd be a beautiful song like ''Namely You.'' Music is by journeyman Gene DePaul, lyrics by the great Johnny Mercer. Btw, I wonder if any Broadway show ever had three women in key parts as beautiful as Edie Adams, Julie Newmar and Tina Louise, all in their mid-20s then.

I haven't seen this movie in 15 years! This play was the first musical theatre production I performed in at the ripe old age of 11. Such great memories watching this.

Thanks so much for sharing this! There was a high school production that I LOVED and this was one of my favorite songs. Great memories! :)

Wow. Watch a Rich Hall documentary called "The Dirty South". All about southern stereotypes. But julie Newmar is rather fine. xxx

Al Capp was asked why he drew so many stacked, curvaceous, beautiful women in skimpy clothing. His reply: " I like those kind of women."

@Arieliondotcom The usual procedure is to dub singing in movie musicals, whether by the actor or by another singer. This procedure is called ADR/automatic dialogue replacement, so there won't be a great many re-takes to get the song sung in lip synch.
And yes, Leslie Parrish is stunningly lovely. She had a fairly significant, but secondary role, in "The Manchurian Candidate" but got very little publicity for it. Angela Lansbury got the female top banana credit. Don't know why.
