A real gun

It would be fun to shoot the other two

And be only one

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Fred, you remember

those wonderful parties with Judy...

where she'd get up and sing this song?

She first sang it to Margaret O'Brien

in Meet Me in St. Louis.

Next year all our troubles

will be miles away

Once again, as in olden days

Happy golden days

of yore

Faithful friends

who were dear to us

Will be near to us

once more

Someday soon

we all will be together

If the fates allow

Until then

we'll have to muddle through

somehow

So have yourself

a merry little

Christmas

now

Stepping out with my baby

Can't go wrong 'cause I'm in right

It's for sure, not for maybe

That I'm all dressed up tonight

Here you are again, Fred, in Easter Parade.

Can't be bad to feel so good

Never felt quite so sunny

And I keep on knocking wood

There'll be smooth sailing

'Cause I'm trimming my sails

With a bright shine on my shoes

And on my nails

Stepping out with my baby

Can't go wrong 'cause I'm in right

Ask me when will the day be

The big day may be tonight

What a fabulous bit of trick photography.

Please, Kelly. I don't tell your secrets.

Ten cents a dance

That's what they pay me

Gosh, how they weigh me down

Doris Day, belting out

another great Rodgers and Hart tune...

from Love Me or Leave Me.

Ten cents a dance

Dandies and rough guys

Tough guys who tear my gown

7.;00 to midnight

I hear drums

Loudly the saxophone blows

Trumpets are tearing my eardrums

Customers crush my toes

Sometimes I think

I've found my hero

But it's a queer romance

All that you need is a ticket

Come on, big boy

Ten cents a dance

- I got

- Rhythm

- I got

- Music

- I got

- My gal

Who could ask for anything more?

I've always said,

"Just put Gene with a bunch of kids...

"and you're bound to come up

with a winner. " Watch.

- I got

- My gal

Who could ask for anything more?

Old man Trouble,

I don't mind him

You won't find him 'round my door

- Vous comprenez ca?

- Non!

- I got

- Rhythm

- I got

- Music

- I got

- My gal

Who could ask for anything more?

Who could ask for anything more?

Charlot!

Charlie Chaplin!

Aeroplane!

Who could ask for anything more?

More!

C'est tout!

Au revoir!

You see a pair of laughing eyes

And suddenly you're sighing sighs

You're thinking nothing's wrong

You string along, boy

Then snap!

Those eyes, those sighs

They're part of the tender trap

After having sung with the Harry James

and Tommy Dorsey orchestras...

Frank Sinatra made his solo debut...

at the Paramount Theater in New York

in December 1942.

They had to call out the police

to control the crowds.

Especially his most avid fans,

the bobbysoxers.

When he walked out on the stage...

it was not merely the birth of a star...

but the creation of a legend.

I'll walk alone

They'll ask me why

And I'll tell them I'd rather

There are dreams I must gather

I'll walk alone

It was inevitable that the Sinatra hysteria

would lead him to Hollywood...

and equally inevitable...

that producer Arthur Freed

would choose him...

to sing Kern and Hammerstein's classic. ;

OI' Man River.

OI'man river

That ol'man river

He must know somethin'

But he don't say nothin'

He just keeps rollin'

He keeps on rollin'along

He don't plant taters

And he don't plant cotton

And them what plants 'em

Is soon forgotten

But ol'man river

Just keeps rollin'along

I fall in love too easily

There's something about a Sinatra ballad

that makes it automatically unforgettable.

Here is young Blue Eyes singing

one of my favorites from Anchors Aweigh.

I fall in love too terribly hard

For love to ever last

My heart should be well-schooled

'Cause I've been fooled

in the past

And still I

fall in love

too easily

I fall in love

too fast

I believe

Frank sings to

Jimmy Durante and Billy Roy in. ;

It Happened in Brooklyn.

If you'll wish for the dream

By the wishing well

Don't tell the wish

or you'll break the spell

It may sound naive

But that's what I believe

I don't care

High Society.

And it can't get much higher...

than Frank serenading

the future princess of Monaco.

'Cause you're sensational

Making love

is quite an art

What you require is the proper squire

to fire your heart

And if you'll say

that one fine day

You'll let me come to call

We'll have a ball

'Cause you're sensational

Sensational

That's all

She argued

Fought like a wildcat

She threatened

Practically drew a gun on the boy

She said

"You can't send me home

- "Not like this"

- What happened?

She finally got her kiss

It seems only yesterday

that I did this number with Frank.

That's when he taught me how to dance.

What a time we had tonight

What a dish, what a dream, what a dame

And she lives alone

I gets weary

And so sick of tryin'

I'm tired of livin'

But I'm feared of dyin'

And ol'man river

He just keeps rollin'

Along

Movie buffs and the rest

Have a line or scene they like best

The courtroom where a lawyer pleads

for his client's life

A sleuth that's hot but cannot spot

the gun or the knife

But you'll knock 'em flat with

"That's no lady, that was my wife"

They all last, unsurpassed

Here's the cast

Please let me stay.

But I want to be alone.

I just want to be alone.

We want to be alone.

But we want to be left alone.

Do you want to be alone, comrade?

No.

I don't know how you'll look tomorrow...

but right now, you're the

most beautiful dame in the world.

- You want to work with me?

- Yes, Mr. Gallagher.

Shake.

- Yes, sir.

- Now beat it.

Thank you.

Goodbye, Mr. Chips.

Annual income 20.

Annual expenditure 19.

Result? Happiness.

Annual income 20.

Annual expenditure 21.

Result? Misery.

That advice is so far worth taking...

I have never taken it myself...

and I am

the miserable creature you behold.

Grand Hotel. Always the same.

People come, people go.

Nothing ever happens.

I was reading a book the other day.

Reading a book?

Yes, it's all about civilization

or something.

A nutty kind of a book.

Do you know the guy says...

that machinery is going

to take the place of every profession?

Oh, my dear.

That's something

you need never worry about.

I'd like to run barefoot through your hair.

The picturesque impressions

indelibly fixed in our memory.

It is time to conclude our visit...

and reluctantly say

farewell to Hong Kong...

the hub of the Orient.

And as the midnight sun lingers

on the skyline of the city...

we most reluctantly say

farewell to Stockholm...

Venice of the north.

And it is in this paradise

of the Canadian Rockies...

that we reluctantly say

farewell to beautiful Banff.

With this thought,

we most reluctantly say...

farewell to the Taj Mahal.

We reluctantly say,

farewell, colorful Guatemala.

We reluctantly conclude our visit to Japan.

Farewell to Ireland, the Emerald Isle.

Farewell to Switzerland.

Farewell Udaipur.

Farewell to all...

Farewell...

I am Tandaleo.

Jane. Tarzan.
