"Yeah, Chemistry!" She's so cute! :)

[@AndromedaCripps]

This acting and performance is INSANELY good!!! Every action, even the gimmicky ones, looks realistically drunken and hilarious. And the voice matches wonderfully!!

[@michaeledwards9804]

Am I the only one who loves the way she says "Well sir"? XD

[@corriecrazy]

You're not, Michael Edwards. I love that "Well sir" is in the lyrics. It's just so typical of the way otherwise-normal people talk when they're drunk. She does it well. :)

[@jeffg1524]

Jean Simmons was a wonder in this role. I'm glad they didn't dub her voice.

[@malvavisco10]

+Jeff Gutierrez Why would they?

[@jeffg1524]

Malvavisco Because there was talk early on of dubbing both Simmons and Brando's voices if they weren't strong enough to be believable.

[@bricktam]

@@malvavisco10 People dub voices of actors when they feel they're not strong enough or fit the role, even if they are classically trained and have singing experience. Notable ones were Audrey Hepburn in "My Fair Lady" and Natalie Wood in "West Side Story", whose singing were both dubbed by Marni Nixon.

[@lindamanas6735]

Intonation spot on. This is very very hard to pitch. I wonder if Jean had perfect pitch.

[@christienelson1437]

They weren’t professional singers like most of the cast but I enjoyed their performances regardless.🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕

Always heard Miles Davis play this tune and decided to look at the lyrics. Thank you to jazz musicians who always record and keep america's songbook alive!

Jean Simmons was so beautiful, talented and graceful. We don't see movie stars like this any more.

[@romanclay1913]

Jean Simmons top of the top. And Brando knew this was her scene and didn't try to upstage her. Thanks, Bud. Simmons & Brando starred in DESIREE.

A neighbor up the street asked me to help her daughter with her chemistry homework. I said sure. So after I talked with the girl for ten or fifteen minutes, she was more bored than when I first found her. So I played this. The girl came alive, almost. She remained a little uneasy because she was, after all, at home, and her mother was in the other room. And here, she, the daughter, was sitting near an old guy, me. Her mother, however, wanted to know what on earth I was doing. I said, listen. She did. After that, all went well. The daughter went on to pass the course. She even did well at calculating the solubilities of ordinary ionic salts in water . (Wasn't that last sentence a mouthful? Yeah, chemistry!)

[@unequalledflame]

@@joshuathegr8Clearly not! But what she's responding to is him -- all the alcohol does is bring her guard down so she can let it out.

[@joshuathegr8]

upworld1 Yes ok it brings her guard and she’s responding to him the way he wants her to. But it’s only because of the alcohol that she’s doing any of this. Dutch courage is one thing but being off your face by a few cocktails is another.

[@ayokay123]

What a great scene and great interaction between the two. I find it hard to believe that the sound wasn't dubbed in later....she's not even out of breath and her voice doesn't fade in and out over the mic..

[@andrewwebster4348]

They probably had her re-record the song. What they mean by not dubbing over her is they didn't use someone else's voice in post.

[@1earflapping]

I'm amazed this isn't dubbed. Now I get to think of Jean Simmons as not only a beautiful actress but a *singing* actress.

[@mitchellsteinschneider5121]

I always had a crush on Jean Simmons even at 65 I can honestly say ding dong ding dong ding

The musical premiered on Broadway at the 46th Street Theatre on November 24, 1950. It was directed by George S. Kaufman, with dances and musical numbers by Michael Kidd, scenic and lighting design by Jo Mielziner, costumes by Alvin Colt, and orchestrations by George Bassman and Ted Royal, with vocal arrangements by Herbert Greene. It starred Robert Alda (Sky), Sam Levene (Nathan), Isabel Bigley (Sarah), and Vivian Blaine (Adelaide). The West End premiere opened at the London Coliseum on May 28, 1953 and ran for 555 performances. The cast starred Vivian Blaine, Sam Levene, Lizbeth Webb and Jerry Wayne. Lizbeth Webb was the only major principal who was British and was chosen to play the part of Sarah Brown by Frank Loesser. One of Broadways greatest 20th century musicals. Thanks for uploading this video.

[@jackiepyzocha7380]

She's looped and in love with Sky! Pure passion!

[@_Sakidora_]

Brando’s reactions are so good. Classic tolerance of a man when a woman is gong a bit off the rails.

Jean Simmons was the best in the movie, giving more to her part then was there.

[@kennethansloan2349]

[@romanclay1913]

Brando is the greatest actor because of his unmatched acting range. From 1950-60 he played a paraplegic in THE MEN, Stanley Kowalski in STREETCAR, Mexican revolutionary in VIVA ZAPATA, Mark Anthony in JULIUS CEASAR, a Hell's Angel. Terry Malloy in ON THE WATERFRONT, Napoleon in DESIREE, sang and danced in GUYS AND DOLLS, Japanese man, Sakini, in TEAHOUSE OF THE AUGUST MOON, a contrite nazi in YOUNG LIONS then directed ONE EYED JACKS.
