FILM

Actors singing. In the 50's the studio system was entrenched and they tried to make their acting stars into singers as well. Sal Mineo, Tab Hunter and the one we have here today:

Anthony Perkins - The prettiest girl in school. His big one was Moonlight Swim - later revived by Elvis.

We also have Doris Day and Frankie Laine with Sugarbush. Laine came to Auckland but got on the booze and appeared late and drunk where he was booed.

Burl Ives again singing Pearly Shells.

Judy Garland and Fred Astaire - Easter Parade from the film of the same name.
