I just keep saying WOW. 🎉

[@ElectrocutionorShark]

Yep.....so do I 🙂

[@robertchamberlain7202]

I remember seeing the picture. Betty was one of a kind .so much talent .

[@thedealer777]

My old-man once told me, his older brother, my uncle Al, had a thing for Betty Hutton, during WW II. Unfortunately, Al was killed somewhere outside Paris in Aug of '44. He was 23. Looking at this video, I can see why she was Al's "Pin-up Girl." Her energy was as immense as her talent. Bob Hope once called her "a vitamin pill with legs!"

[@mikkiwarr]

Thank goodness that her wonderful talent will reach generations to come.

[@dianeanderson6104]

I love the way she did this song. Really great. Best rendition of it.

[@user-mn4kg3jb4j]

This classic and fun song truly belongs only to Betty Hutton! The 1945 classic movie The Stork Club is one of my favorite movies! I was born in 1978. I own this on CD! Thank you for posting and sharing this movie magic! I love it!

[@ZorroVulpes]

I'm watching a performance done 36 years before I was born, uploaded 15 years ago. The internet makes me really depressed sometimes, but I'm glad it lets me experience this.

[@ScrapNfight]

So many performers tried to copy her, but there was only one Betty Hutton.

[@johnwhitehead3360]

Thank You - I interviewd the lady in 1948 as part of an army initiative test - she was ver understanding and charming

[@bobbywimsy6741]

ERNESTO RUBIO Agree Ernesto, BUT smart ladies out there. "if you're listen-ing" to quote a certain successor of FDR, reproduce these qualities of Betty, with your own inimitable touches, and you'll have guys like us, faster than a speeding locomotive, after you in a heart beat. Lets not pine too much for the past but with faith look to a future of restored femininity and masculinity. Down with feminism. And masculinism.Two poor hurt substitutes for the real deal. Humility based and not pride based. Vive la difference, and more importantly re the sexes, vive la deference- mutual respect, and real true old fashioned never out of date, love.

[@jamesryan6008]

My absolute favorite performance of hers. What is sad is that her career lasted about 15 years then she basically disappeared. Later in her life she was discovered working as a housekeeper.

[@mrob75]

Betty had a really tough life off screen...She really wasn't working as a housekeeper. What really happened is that she became very close to a priest and worked as a cook in the church rectory while receiving counseling and spiritual healing.

[@wsddrama8735]

she wanted a life and found it in her faith and serving her community...nothing wrong with that...and career is just a part of the pie- and often a very hollow part.

[@user-rj5ld7jh7n]

Betty unfortunately had a problem with alcohol met priest I don't remember his name he cared about her and she became catholic and was healed and that's when she worked as a cook in the rectory God bless rip Betty

wow a sapphic song back in 1945? this is great

[@iamfelixthecat7233]

Yes, so "sapphic." Tell me, what do they call baby roosters? That's right... chicks. And the song was written by two men (Paul Francis Webster and Hoagy Carmichael) and they probably just didn't want to screw up the rhyme. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3bLmH-DiN1jpa8

During the war, her hyper style was really perfect, but after the war, people wanted to chill out at a Tiki torch party and get blasted on mai-tais. Funny how everything during the war was at 1.25 or 1.5 normal speed, then the 50's went almost catatonic, then by 1969 we were back to maniacal energy. Always a pendulum swinging.

Despite the casual racism, this is one of my favourite songs by Betty Hutton.

In the musicals of the 1940s and 1950s, too many vocal numbers were filmed as purely stage performances. The cinema viewer sits in front of it like a theatergoer. Too little editing, too little camera movement. The direction should have detached itself from the atmosphere of the variety show, which could show dances and songs more in a real environment that fits the plot of the story.

[@Lokie-cd2hw]

Those lyrics are now considered racist! Betty Hutton must be cancelled from KZbin!
