    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Lucille Ball Film Collection

    Reminds me of what happened with Ann Blyth playing Helen Morgan- a brilliant soprano dubbed by the alto Gogi Grant! The opposite happened with Carmen Jones- Dorothy Dandridge had a successful nightclub career, but since this was an operatic musical, Marilyn Horne's mezzo-soprano was used.

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Lucille Ball Film Collection

    I do know that Audrey Totter wasn't too thrilled with having her singing dubbed in The Saxon Charm, and it's interesting to note that Lizabeth Scott released an album in the 50s. BTW, Ken, Dorothy Arnzer was NOT the only female director of the Golden Age- does the name Ida Lupino ring a bell???
