Mary Martin became popular on Broadway and received attention in the national media singing "My Heart Belongs to Daddy". "Mary stopped the show with "My Heart Belongs to Daddy". With that one song in the second act, she became a star 'overnight'."[4] Martin reprised the song in Night and Day, (the Hollywood "biographical" movie about Porter) during the film in an audition as herself for Porter (Cary Grant).
So understated for her. Lovely.

Many have sung the song but Mary Martin was the very first in "Leave It To Me" -- Broadway 1938. It was her first show and she had a small part. This clip is somewhat of a re-creation of the original. BTW Gene Kelly was in the chorus in the 1938 Broadway version.

Old films to me are always nice. Plus I love this song although I'm used to Peggy Lee and other singing it.
