"The Night They Invented Champagne" from Gigi 1958. Leslie Caron was a trained ballet dancer, but here it's her own voice, unlike in the movie. Hermoine Gingold I'm sure I've heard singing or seen dancing, and the same goes for Louis Jourdan, but seldom in one scene both singing and dancing.. Notice that once they start singing there are no editorial cuts, only camera movements. I also remember her so well singing in Lili (1952)

BATouttaheck , mattgarth Jimmy Stewart also warbles a couple’a tunes in the 1957 western “Night Passage.” If you will pardon my plug for the weekly thread (which doesn’t get the participation it should) “What classics did you see last week?” hosted by teleadm , you can read my full review of this film in the new thread starting tomorrow (Saturday).

One of my favourite actors, singing two of my favourite Elvis songs, in some of my favourite scenes in one of my favourite films!

Carrie's mom and that sad and serious girl in The Hustler sings and dances in Ain't Misbehaving ...NO .. Not Debbie Reynolds ... Piper Laurie !
and sings in this TV special from 1955
"This is a song she sang that same year in Ain't Misbehavin'.Initially, a dub was made by a ghost-singer for all her songs in that film. But she worked hard and was allowed to use her own singing voice. The same thing happened for her very short singing bit in Has Anybody Seen My Gal? (1952) - the dub was not used.

Fred is well-known as an actor, but here he is early in his career singing with a dance band. The song comes from the movie, "Paramount on Parade" in which it was sung by Maurice Chevalier. B-side of "Dancing to Save Your Sole", another song from the movie. Recorded March 30, 1930. Written by Leo Robin and Richard Whiting.
He also sings in Remember the Night

That song ,ALL I WANT IS JUST ONE, was also sung by Gene Wilder in his last film The lady in Question. He had the same type of Light, rhythmically solid tenor as Fred.

He also sings in Remember the Night MacMurray also warbled in a couple scenes for Above Suspicion. In The Princess Comes Across, he got a whole number all to himself (clip below). As you can hear, his voice had become considerably richer in just the few years since he recorded with Arnheim. Although Paramount wasn't big on musicals in the '30s, except for Crosby and Mae West, it's a shame that ability of Mac Murray's went largely unexploited.

Another from HIGH SOCIETY. Celest Holm acting and singing a little. Daunting to think about being a non-singer and singing opposite Sinatra. Same as Kelly must have felt singing "True Love" in the same film with Crosby (though she did it beautifully).

Where she introduced I Caint Say No . Holme played the same type of role as Betty Garrett against Sinatra, a soubrette, comic, tomboyish, not the girly girl. They both had strong voices but left the romantic ballads to Frank. It was not til Frank began producing his own film that he appeared front and center as a romantic leading man, not a comic , boyish goof. Notice how different is his energy in this film from Ocean’s 11 where he clearly could have all the girls in the film if he wished.

Oh, man, I can't believe I forgot about her in OKLAHOMA! Of course, she did that. Thanks for the reminder. I guess she probably didn't find singing with Sinatra so daunting after all.  Sure would have liked to see her sing "I Cain't Say No."
