I was able to watch two DVDs this afternoon.
First up was LULLABY OF BROADWAY. I hadn't seen this is quite some time, my only memory of it being that Doris did some fancy dancing in the movie, more than in any other musical she ever made.
Watching it again today, what an understatement that was! Looks like being paired with dancer Gene Nelson gave the Warner Brothers the idea that she was their own Vera-Ellen or Ginger Rogers. She dances throughout this film and makes one wish she had gotten to be either Astaire or Kelly's partner at some point in her career. (Well, she got to be directed by Kelly, but that's not quite the same thing.)
I remember bk remarking when he talked about the film that Gene Nelson was dubbed for some unknown reason. I, too, do not understand this. He had a perfectly pleasant singing voice, oh, maybe not a Dick Haymes smooth croon, but certainly he could have handled the singing he had to do in this film. I suspect he put up a fight when he found out his own voice wouldn't be used. Sounded like Bill Lee doing the dubbing, but a couple of quick checks in some references couldn't confirm this.
