Some more and some Loesser!

 Where's Charley?, done on stage in 1948

(the movie came 4 years later)

with Ray Bolger starring as said Charley AND his aunt!

Every night of the show, he'd lead the audience thru 

15 choruses of "Once In Love With Amy!"

Audiences adored him.

 The film of Red Hot And Blue (1949)

had absolutely nothing to do with the

Broadway musical of the same name.

Hollywood just stole the name, not a problem!

Betty Hutton and Victor Mature 

("fresh" from his sword and sandaled role in Samson and Delilah)

were paired.

(Looks like they got on well!)

Frank Loesser wrote 4 songs for this pic,

and even got a role;

he played Hair-Do Lempke, a gangster.

From this pic, we'll hear that story of "Hamlet".

 Danny Kaye (center) and with flower (below)

played Hans Christian Andersen in

the movie of the same name, 

with songs by Frank, and 

written by Moss Hart and Ben Hecht (1952).

Above, Farley Granger and Zizi Jeanmaire as ballet divas,

and with Joseph Walsh singing "Inchworm".

Frank's "Thumbelina" from this movie

 was nominated for a Best Song Academy Award.

 Listen in tomorrow to 2 On The Aisle

for the Frank Loesser/Isabel Bigley story!
I won't ruin it here...

but suffice it to say, fisticuffs!!!

 Isabel won the Tony for her role as Sarah Brown

in Guys and Dolls.

Above with her Sky Masterson, Robert Alda,

and below, with Adelaide, played by Vivian Blaine.

Isabel was born in the Bronx, studied at Julliard,

was nixed by Hollywood, but Broadway loved her.

Post "Guys", she starred in Me & Juliet

with Joan McCracken. 

 From Thank Your Lucky Stars, a WWII fundraiser from 1943,

Ann Sheridan, pegnoired and snooded, 

for Love Isn't Born (It's Made)

with a grinning Teresa Wright at right!

This movie also included "They're Either Too Young Or Too Old"

(another Loesser/Schwartz tune)

sung by that canary, Bette Davis.

Note the star-studded poster for this flick below.

And last but HARDLY Loesser/Least:

Christmas Holiday starring  a killer named Kelly,

and torch singer (?) Deanna Durbin...

Deanna got to sing "Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year"

 ...or in Gene's case, it's not comin' at all!
