Marie Bryant and Scatman Crothers - When a Cat Begins to Scat 

A wonderful scene from a rare 50s short - The Return of Gilbert and Sullivan. This is the wonderful Marie Bryant, with Scatman Crothers, scatting a very loose version of "When the Foeman Bares his Steel" (Pirates of the Penzance)
The Return of Gilbert and Sullivan was made in 1952, and had a very limited run in the cinemas, before being lost for around fifty years. I believe it was shot in colour, but the only currently available print is in fairly low quality black and white.
