Irene Dunne performs Smoke Gets in Your Eyes. From the 1935 film adaptation of the original Broadway play for which the song was written.

At around the 3 minute mark, her song is interrupted, and she has a nasty breakup scene with the man she loves. She then finishes the song in tears. I edited out the argument so that the song plays out continuously.

Later in the movie, the song is reprised instrumentally. I included that scene as well.

  • @itsmylife1776 ---Irene Dunne is like a fine wine, as time passes, everything about her becomes better and better. With a basic trust in human nature, I believe she will be appreciated more tomorrow than she is today.

  • @APolaris There will always be grace and class left in this world when people refuse to let it die.

  • Very nicely done! Thanks for sharing this.

  • Can't wait until fifty years from now, when people are complaining about "the music of today".. they'll probably even say "where are our Lady Gaga's!?"

  • great song 

  • What has modern, popular musical "art" given us to replace the beauty of the past? - Lady Gaga. Ugh! This song has been one of my favorites since I heard it 50+ years ago.

  • My Grandma said her mom use to sing this song to her when she was little.

  • There is a wonderful video tribute to Irene Dunne here on youtube. Just type in 20 years without Irene Dunne in the search bar.

    This person obviously put a lot of work into making the tribute of video clips. Watch some of her films and you will become addicted as I have...

  • Someone below asked if this was available on cd---yes it is--there is an Irene Dunne CD called Irene Dunne Sings Kern and Other Rarities and it's available on Amazon. Just type in her name and click CD and it's the first one on offer. She has 2 versions of it on the CD. Beautiful. This sublime woman will be remembered as one of our most talented, diverse actresses as time passes. Her star is beginning to shine brightly again.

  • I was in Madison, Indiana last week and saw her name in several places - she really loved that little town and they loved her too.

  • She's so beautiful. But really, I think I'll have to pick the Platter's version. :)
