The Stork Club (1945) BETTY HUTTON 

The designers and hairstylists of the 1940s and 1950s created great fashions and looks that made women look classy and more beautiful.

Cedar Rapids Iowa Born Don DeFore, also my hometown. He had a Great career in Hollywood. Betty is such a joy to watch, full of excitement and energy.

Seen a lot of 40s movie musicals ....and NOBODY put her heart n soul into...well, she EXPLODED.

"Pop" is such a adorable old man! i'm really loving his character. He reminds me of my grandfather in a way.

I've just started watching Betty Hutton movies and I have enjoyed every one so far. I was never much for musicals but I wait for the music in her pictures. Very funny presentations by her and clever lyrics by the writers. This movie is a gem. I almost like it as much as "And the Angels Sing." That one is tough to follow.

I wish I could have known Betty Hutton. One of a kind.

Barry Fitzgerald was highly underrated.

Very enjoyable movie. Terrific actors. Thank you. One of my favorites from the 1940's.

In other movies , and also ones with Betty Hutton , u can hear her sing every song

what a cute movie - with so many familiar faces! George and Gracie's first tv announcer - before Harry von Zell and Ozzie and Harriet's tv neighbor - Thorny !

Have to laugh! They say Barbara Stanwyck used to be Ruby Stevens and that actually is her birth name before she became a movie star.

Oh wow! The musical numbers are muted?? How dreadful.

O God, what a great slice of time! Thank you for posting!!

Jimmy Jones drum solo, great.

Please download more Betty Hutton movies. She is a wonder to watch. And from what I heard she was the same woman in real life. It's too bad she's passed.

Betty Hutton comedy is so great that I can certainly live without the sound on the songs. Thank you for the wonderful upload.

I know it's just a movie but it gave me anxiety when she started blowing money on extravagant things.

what a wonderful film...Betty puts all modern day actresses to shame ....she is so bubbly adorable and funny .. talented with amazing chemistry with her co-stars

This is a rescue of a man not just his life from drowning but from his past of bad decisions. A mans wealth doesn't always buy him or others he shares it with happiness. You will enjoy this and not all the songs are muted,

"I know I'm supposed to double over at this point, but there really isn't room!"

Glad to hear ALL the music has been restored. Most of "In The Shade Of The Old Apple Tree" is also the tune of a 50's Mills Brother's record: "Queen Of The Senior Prom".

best songs ever !

I love Barry Fitzgerald!

Wow, I didn’t know she was in foxholes and flew many a bombing mission in WWII. That’s impressive!! I loved 💕 this movie!!💞

Fell asleep three times watching this like I did as a child. Dreery music. Liked all the characters but just weak parts. Gave a thumbs up for old times sake.

You know things are bad when a song from the mid 1940s has to be muted in a movie.

Watched 3 14 2020 and heard the songs, thank you!

Thank you.

I just don't understand why they didn't bring back gloves and hats. Especially since COVID. Gloves are so delicate and resist all germs and Hats???? Well they are the classiest accessory ever!!!.

I can't watch this without the sound! So revolting that the Music messes things up! I am a Pianist and was a child Prodigy but I detest the Music Industry because they pay the musicians virtually nothing. I worked for the largest Indie Label (at the time) and I wrote the Contracts and upped the Royalty Payments above what the going low rate was, How dare they pay the Musicians nothing and go after folks who want to use a few minutes of the music? Great film and it is a good restoration!

Love The Stork Club. Music was amazing!

Great, watched this so I could watch & listen to Betty sing and they cut the sound for her songs... don't bother with this one.

Betty warmed a lot of foxholes and flew many a bombing mission during WWII.

Turns out Barry Fitzgerald is really Irish. Born in Dublin.

Can you believe that Betty is only 24 years old in this picture?

Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant,..Who is the gorgeous male singer he is wonderful..? 🇬🇧

Any other 20-30 years olds here?!

More classics movies please especially of the 1960 onwards.

Anyone deliberately garbling a work of art like Betty Hutton's gold record: Doctor, Lawyer Nor Indian Chief, would probably take delight in painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa.

Betty Hutton has very good hair! Not one celebrity these days has natural hair. They all look terrible with that ruined hair.

Loved it!!!!

Betty HUTTON THIS NAME MADE ME REMEMBERED HAIR GROWTH LOTION, BY THE WAY THE MOVIE IS FINE

Okay what gives? Every time she gets to a singing part it goes quite!

She's fresh as is her singing

Nuts. The music is cut.

Been told I remind people of her. I don’t see it. ☺️

No other female vocalist compared when it came to dynamic texture, from serious to clown in micro seconds... Always lovable.

Look up the stork club on Wikipedia, it's a good read.

Pardon me to add to this part around 1:26:15 must be the nicest, where even older people act lovely. Mrs. Bates looks cute as an ideal who cannot easily be imitated as well.

Oh "Sugar Plum Fairies" they must not have the rights to some of the music it was blocked.

I think she got her start singing on radio ..as teenager ...very polished here ...

Strange thing is that I just listened to If I had a dozen Hearts on youtube, very odd.

I love movies where Edith Head designed the costumes

As to the two muted songs , hard to believe that those copyrights would still be active. Other shows muted music just at the beginning perhaps to get around the problem? Would be nice if PizzaFlix would explain why these were silenced. The remaining 3 - 4 music pieces were not muted.

The musical numbers are muted.

figured it out! when she singsthey mute the movie...i keep trying to get sound and it wouldn't come...maybe thiswill be helpful for others! had this happen on other movies, never put it together...God bless America...wwg1wga

Wow!

Oh yeah the joke about Barbara in the beginning? I looked up the answer on Google and she was right. She is Ruby. Why'd she ever change her name to Barbara Ruby is so much nicer.

They must have fixed the sound it’s very good

Apparently,the songs have been blanked out...

the songs are subject to licensing, and performance royalties. - So, they're not free content.

the answer to my question is around here, 1:20:00 “love should be tolerant till truth breaks through the clouds of doubt” thanks.

They couldn't get into the Cub Room??

Good movie

Why are all the musical numbers muted?

I'm disappointed the sound kept cutting out.

I love Betty Hutton, but I can't hear her when she sings,. Is it me or is it the film? Tx, it"s just that she is à treasure of many happy memories.

M. & A. Alexander Productions reissued this film for television in the early 1950's.

I saw this movie recently WITH songs. It's just not the same censored for whatever reason. Sorry, but it had to be said. Sound of songs and Betty Hutton, please....Thanks for posting anyway!!

Rats, all the songs are muted.

missed the sound on the two first Betty songs.

I was told she had a mansion in Tucson...I visited. It a few years back....but then someone said she never lived here....it was a nice house...and pool...

The audio went south around 16 minutes ...

the whole point of this movie is waiting for BETTY HUTTON to break out in song....Sadly, the musical scenes are muted :---(

Why can't we hear the musical numbers?

I wish the songs weren't muffled

Very disappointed that her musical numbers were intentionally muted. The audio resumed right after she finished singing 🤷🏻‍♀️ what was the point? Copyright issues? I stopped watching the movie.

Thanks dress maker

I love Betty s older sister Marion

Did this video get a copyright strike? The audio goes silent each time Betty sings. Fortunately I've seen the film a zillion times, just sayin'....

She had a troubled life, especially in her later years.

Lo be these older movies and voices and beauty..etc. it's just so overtly shovanistic.

Would be nice to hear what they are saying

what happened to the songs, they've been removed

Betty's songs are muted.

It's a musical with no music. That sucks!

The sound cuts out when she sings. No copyright?

She reminds me of Joan Cusack - her expressions.

Cute film. But every time she sings i lose sound. Enjoyed this quite a lot otherwise...😁 And yes, honorable mention . Miss Ruby Stevens. 😉

RU-vid won't play the songs! Some kind of copy right or something. I don't understand that if they play all that singing on the shows on t.v now. They let everyone hear that. And they let the band in the movie be heard! I don't get it!

I don't understand why Huttons' songs were cut. Can't be copyright can it?

I love Betty Hutton, but it is a very big same that the first two songs she sings with the band are incorrectly transferred. They cannot be heard. It sounds like the mono sound track was transferred to the two channel modern system in mono with the phase invented from one line and the sound cancels out completely.

Why is this part mute? 15:56 Don't tell me it's copyrighted. It's been far beyond 50 years. That should have long expired!

Darling movie

why are all her singing spots muted out ?

Betty Hutton gives a thoroughly winning performance while Barry Fitzgerald is his usual bemused self.

What happened to the sound in her songs???

I want to be Betty Hutton

15.00 +/- lost sound !! Her singing. Came back on @ 18:36did it again; she singing. 🙍‍♀️🙇‍♀️🤷‍♀️
