I CANT SAY NO - GLORIA GRAHAME

[@PaulDavis-jb1bx]

In a movie packed with great songs this is one that puts a big smile on your face 😊

[@12classics39]

Even though she doesn’t do a big dance number here - she barely even moves at all - Gloria Grahame commands the screen with this performance.

[@sseacre]

Agree💯

[@lahaina4791]

Gloria Grahame, what a peach. ❤

[@GingerHey]

Gloria Grahame was awesome in everything she did on screen!

[@TexExpatriate1]

Lordy, what a lovely babe was Gloria Grahame. Never forget her.

[@changeling-child]

Between this and Its a Wonderful Life I just adore Gloria Grahame Timeless beauty and talent

[@notnek202]

She should of at least been nominated let alone win the Oscar for best supporting actress.

[@hemming57]

She had one

[@scottcarbaugh4296]

The Bad and the Beautiful. She won a well deserved Oscar

[@sean_d]

Everyone complimenting Gloria Grahame, and rightly so, but let's not forget the great lyrics. Getting the seduction references across in that day and age was walking a fine line, and was so cleverly done.

[@markschildberg1667]

That's Oscar Hammerstein for you. He practically invented the character lyric.

[@annaquinn4810]

Admired her acting in everything she did. We=hen i saw her in Oklahoma and heard her sing, it blew my mind! She’s fantastic!!!!!

[@yelloworangered]

As far as I am concerned, this song is the highlight of the movie. Thank you, Gloria Grahame.

[@patriciahisoire5753]

I agree.

[@alanhodges8839]

Gloria is another brilliant performer at the top of world.

[@alanhodges8839]

Film quality is brilliant compared to films of today.

[@ant7936]

Shot on negatives with thoughtful/careful lighting.

[@buickmclean8163]

What a shame she has gone and we can't let her know how much we appreciated her performance. Yet life is such that people will leave us and we do not get the chance to tell them we appreciate them, because we assume there will always be time .

[@james_t_kirk]

*Shirley Jones delivered a fine performance in "Elmer Gantry" and Gloria Grahame traveled off the beaten path a bit in one of the best episodes of the original "Outer Limits" TV series - in "The Guests".*

[@tjtak7486]

She's hilarious here. Love this scene

[@libertygiveme1987]

I just LOVE this song!!! Gloria Grahame was AWESOME!!!!

[@annaquinn4810]

I thought she was great! Loved her in all the parts she played. Enjoyed her in the movie Oklahoma,especially her duet with Gene Nelson!!!

[@markseleood6623]

Quite charming 💐

[@sakaridis]

Shirley Jones and Gloria Grahame... Level of hotness on screen is through the roof!!! 😍😍😍

[@pebble4713]

Oh yes! Shirley is absolutely GORGEOUS in a sweet and wholesome way...Gloria is HOT in her provocative, sexy way! Good girl or bad girl, how to choose?

[@sakaridis]

@@pebble4713 Impossible to choose!

[@312siren]

I've loved her in everything I've seen her in. A terrific actress with her own quirky beauty.

[@MrTonyBrooklyn]

Gloria Grahame Brilliant as ever! R.I.P.

[@christineconstable8508]

Always loved this

[@luisastetecanal3599]

Estas escenas musicales son UNA MARAVILLA !!!😊

[@basilmanolakos4926]

How different she looks in this film. She used an Oklahoman regionalism and she did her own singing as the speaking & sing match. This was certainly a departure from her other film work.

[@broadwaymike92]

Gloria Grahame (1955 film) and Vicki Simon (98-99 London Revival / Proshot) are my 2 favorite Ado Annies!!!

[@eleanorpowellfan]

This is the CinemaScope version, not Todd AO. Regardless, Gloria Grahame is fabulous in any aspect ratio.

[@edcampion3998]

Shirley Jones gorgeous 😍

[@sajanaryal6932]

What does she say at 1:06? I don't understand what's she is saying.

[@sajanaryal6932]

Did she say "Don't you feel kinda sure for a fellow when he looks like he wants to kiss you?" Please tell me.

[@TeddyBear-ii4yc]

Yes, if you see Shirley ask her to give me my heart back! 😘

[@kylepowers812]

She says sorry not sure.

[@michaelroth237]

She's stunning. I couldn't stop looking at her.

[@flintwestwood3596]

I like her. She was cute in this number. 😊

[@eggzuki]

3:18 that was adorable

[@rebeccacorrea7487]

I have long admired her work. Loved her with Bogey Roz as portrayed by Stockard Channing ( Grease)is another irresistible naughty girl

[@PaulDavis-jb1bx]

Oklahoma! is the best musical, EVER!

[@billkent17]

I did not know that Gloria Grahame could sing R & H.

[@basilmanolakos4926]

Hidden Talents.

[@Mxyzptlksac]

She couldn’t. She was actually tone deaf. She could not sing a single note on key. In fact, her vocals here were her real voice- but the music editors had to piece it all together using individual words extracted from many takes.

[@grouchosays]

She can’t! Lol

[@tomcollopy2726]

I don't believe any other lady could pull this song off like " Gloria Grahame" like " "Glynis Johns" and" Send in the Clown" the song was part of their personality they did not need to be professional singers. Gloria Grahame was perfect for "Ado Annie". She was usually a dramatic actress in " Film Noir" Films. Here she played comedy which is very hard because its unreal. Thomas Collopy.

[@TeddyBear-ii4yc]

This woulda been funnier if she sung sorta off-tune or clumsily. I believe she was like me and couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. 👍 P. S. I still found that clip 'charming' 🙂

[@gregorykeithmorris3970]

She had a great understanding of character. Good contrast to Shirley Jones, too.

[@darrylwhite2061]

There's stories about how the cast treated her badly and her time miserable, in the Oklahoma scene you see her break down and cry. It's sad when actors of your favorite musicals were miserable in what you assume was fun and a masterpiece to make. She was a scene stealer but I think that was rhe role vs the actress.

[@aneamarlivana172]

She reportedly was pretty unpleasant to work with.

[@dangoss7180]

She is wonderful, but all the noir she’d been stuck in typecast her. Audiences and casting directors weren’t especially charmed, which is really unfair.

[@TeddyBear-ii4yc]

Well she did look like a... ?... a 'floosy'? But then she also looked like your average "young woman" such as in "The man who never was".

[@mauricioduron3193]

​@@TeddyBear-ii4yc A "floosie"? Smile when you say that, partner....

[@TeddyBear-ii4yc]

@@mauricioduron3193 I did... I was... 🙂 I didn't know she'd lived in Liverpool like an "everyday" person... another reason to like her. 👍

[@mauricioduron3193]

@@TeddyBear-ii4yc 😊😉 About her days in Liverpool, of course, there is the book: 'Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool' and the movie starring Annette Bening.

At 2:24, this is me: 😢😢😢

[@hebneh]

In real life, Gloria was just a girl who couldn't say no to repeated facial cosmetic surgeries - not to mention she couldn't say no to her stepson, with whom she had an affair.

Something funny about her mouth and lips. It's like she doesn't move them much.

[@grouchosays]

Good catch!! Read my post. She put cotton inside because she didn’t like the way it looked.

Wow this is seriously horrible. Just read how she stole the role from Mamie Van Doren. Karma hits real good.
