Ginger was incredibly versatile. She's almost 50 here, but she could give any girl in Hollywood a run for the money. And, aside from being a good dramatic actress, singer, dancer, she can deliver a funny line, even when those lines are stale and worn out. We won't see the likes of Ginger Rogers again.
That's a pretty good bit. It's strange hearing Henny Youngman's jokes delivered like that. Henny used to rattle them off rapid-fire. Here, you already know the punchlines and the anticipation makes it all the funnier. This reminds me of a bit on Ernie Kovacs' show, in which his wife, Edie Adams, portrays Marilyn Monroe singing "The Ballad of Davy Crockett".
love that image! - hotter than Diana Dors and Mansfield ! - wish I could find the Steve Allen shows in good shape rather than weak 3rd or worse generation dubs from TV broadcasts in the 80's-90 ;^(
