Day apparently did all her singing in the film live, when possible. “I’m Not at All in Love” was another.

The Criterion Theatre marquee shown ...I love Doris! The Criterion Theatre marquee shown in the background of the wonderful photo that you posted reminded me how great the film version of South Pacific might have been with Doris as Nellie. She has always been hugely undervalued. Her performance with John Raitt in the "There Once Was A Man" number in The Pajama Game is totally smashing! Regarding the Honorary Oscar, it has been awarded quite a few times without the honoree in attendance, so I could never figure out why she has been overlooked considering how long she ranked as a number one box office attraction. If you visit her website you can send her a birthday greeting and also donate to her animal charity.Kevin Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16951372389921640120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-54871828172604225842017-04-07T09:01:12.068-04:002017-04-07T09:01:12.068-04:00Doris Day aside, Joe, thanks for your expertise.
