One of the great losses to our society is that we've lost the ability to be entertained at such a level, it hearkens to a very specific time in our cultural history and probably never truly existed al all, if it did we've certainly moved past any such beautiful scenes, exchanging them for crass aggression and hostility

[@morganmagill668]

cant put it into words but I know exactly what you mean......I also believe the age of the internet put the nail on the coffin so to speak.

[@granthurlburt4062]

I think TV was a great factor too, in that it eliminated the need to think or to go out. It lowered the lowest common denominator. It took time- @@morganmagill668

[@heikoplotner2636]

Sie genießen meine Zustimmung, das geistige Nivau der Unterhaltung heute ist grauenhaft. Ich liebe diesen Film.

[@sjvlecwokrtqamp]

you're wrong my friend. We still get entertained like this in Southern Europe.

[@williammaynard1005]

That is not Princess Dala's song, though the Princess is in attendance like most of the film's stars. The singer is Fran Jeffries. She's part of Angela Dunning's crowd in the film and appears in several scenes. She only speaks once, in Greek, while she sings in Italian.

[@michaelnurse9089]

I came here to write this. And to add insult to injury this is the official MGM channel.

[@jossilyns]

I think it was sung for the princess

[@smacijs]

And they even leave Claudia Cardinale out of the cast members above. Scandalous.

[@williammaynard1005]

@@trickyplays240 Claudia Cardinale is the Princess. Fran Jeffries is a pop singer who is part of the same jet set circle in Cortina.

[@kilikdudley]

One of my favorite on screen performances ever. Simply enchanting

[@DevilDogDen1775]

The song is: Maglio Stasera ( It had better be tonight ). Fran Jeffries was born in Palo Alto in 1937. Her father was Steven Makris who was a Greek immigrant barbershop owner, and her mother was Esther. She was a model and of course a singer. She was featured in a pictorial for Playboy in February 1971, titled Fran-tastic !!... She passed away on December 15th. 2016 in Los Angeles at the age of 79. The cause of death was multiple myeloma.

[@gilbert-noelsfeir4842]

Nope! The song is "Meglio stasera". Ha ha!

[@becketamieltkatchsergio1408]

This is my favorite scenes in the movie, i love it👏😍💖

[@Eyes-of-Horus]

Fran Jeffries was amazing in looks and talent.

[@Edzward]

Fran Jeffries was astonishing beautiful and incredibly talented! This plus this Henry Mancici's amazing "Italian Samba" will make this scene be remembered forever! Thanks to both of them!

[@nobodyguy4524]

It's crazy that I fell in love with her from this scene but also that I fell in love wirh the whole vibe this movie brought me. The days where romance was alive and we could all still engage like humans. I miss this more than ever. Such a fantastic performance.

[@granthurlburt4062]

Wonderful. For years my ambition was to live the life shown in the movie, including the wonderful easy skiing in gorgeous surroundings.

[@JimRockfords-TransAm]

Simply put Fran Jeffries performance was flawless.

[@andyharman3022]

This is such a perfect scene that captures essence of an era. Every time I see it, I feel like I'm pulled into the scene. This movie was made when I was one year old, so I really missed out. As far as The Pink Panther movies go, I think this one is mildly and ironically humorous. A Shot In The Dark was the first that really got into slapstick comedy and made Clouseau a bumbling fool.

[@fagian5081]

Music by Henry Mancini, lyrics by Franco Migliacci (Deceased today 15/09/2023). Migiacci was the lyricist of numerous internationally successful songs, in particular he wrote the lyrics of the famous "Volare" ("in the blue painted blue") by Domenico Modugno

[@collectmybrains]

gorgeous and well shot

[@user-ef3fz2dp3t]

This video is in my favourite song collection!

[@waynemcckn]

Ouch, that title. People working at these studios don't even watch their movies anymore.

[@roraev9296]

Take note here: This scene was filmed in no more that two "takes". There is only one break, and that may have simply been because the Director liked the last part of the scene better from the view of camera #2. Fran actually was that good, although I've heard some complaints from a few Italians that her accent while singing wasn't very good. Que sera, sera! (oops!)

[@Elfo_Scuro]

Adoro! Cantata rigorosamente in italiano eufonico! Claudia Cardinale poi!

[@geraldcolsher9642]

This song has a certain beat.

[@user-kf1sh4mn6o]

можно смотреть вечно

🇮🇹...ITALY CORTINA DAMPEZZO IN THE DOLOMITAS...🇮🇹 2022. 👍

[@ellasgoldaward1068]

this is a really good song

[@davidweyant9356]

Thank you. 👍🤣👍

[@eric81872]

Thank you for the video!😜👍💓

[@LeCanadienErrant1]

An undulatingly (and esthetically) attractive Yank, Fran Jeffries, singing an Italian samba. Simple, yet very eye- (and ear-)catching and memorable scene. Too bad Miss Jeffries did not have a more fruitful acting career.

[@nibsvkh]

I have no idea what are the lyrics…love this song!❤

[@edwarddeas5962]

As I watched I was thinking the exact same thing . What happened to our society?

[@davidandrews8963]

ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG I HUM IT TO MY DOG AND SHE STARTS TO HOWL PROBABLY MY AWFUL VOICE ONE OF THE BEST COMEDY FILMS EVER SHAME PETER SELLARS WAS SUCH A NOB IN REAL LIFE HE ABSOLUTELY TERRORISED BLAKE EDWARDS THE BIOGRAPHY OF SELLARS IS A MASTER PIECE GEOFFREY RUSH IS SUBLIME CHEERS EVERYBODY 🌈♥️😅🤘🎸🙏

[@vincenzoeliseo4597]

In questa splendida performance vi è una sola persona tuttora vivente... La bellissima Claudia Cardinale❤

[@vincentparisi2644]

Dio mio, tu dovresti sapere bene che c'e tuttora vivente Robert Wagner.

[@JohnSmith-mf3dh]

Royal Blue is the princess' theme. This isn't!

[@DerekHoscorner]

Welcome

[@johna.4334]

Cameo appearance by Davis Niven and Robert Wagner. Am I missing anyone?

[@vincentparisi2644]

Well along with Sellers, Capucine, Cardinale and Brenda de Banzie who are all in this scene they all starred in the film.

[@stephenhowell5611]

No mention of Claudia.

[@zhuzhuzhuzhuzhuzhu]

Это не принцесса Дала! Принцессу Далу играла Клаудия Кардинале💖 Поёт Фран Джеффрис ( в фильме она " кузина"продюсера))) 1:40)
