  • 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."

  • Love honor and OBEY. Go go gadget political incorrectness.

  • Lovely song..

    

  • @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.
