  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

Do you like Ethel Merman?

^ Wasn't she married to Sid Caesar in that movie? I seem to recall her wearing a big floppy hat in a convertible.

Yes. Here she is, scattered in different scenes.

This film is also known as one of the first films to use 'product placement'.

Coca Cola is in every other scene, it seems.
 
No, I don't like her much.

But I had a friend who could sing "Happy Birthday" in many voices, and the Ethel Merman one always cracked up the crowd the most....
 
Is this going to be on the test???--Cause, I've never seen one of her movies.!oops!
 
She was the mother in law to Milton Berle. That was the funniest movies I saw as a kid...many of those movies stars are no longer with us. It was great to see them again and remember their names.
 
Merman was never in a film or Broadway musical that was a failure. However in 1979, nine years after her retirement from the Broadway stage, she recorded "The Ethel Merman Disco Album." Unfortunately, the album was a spectacular failure and seriously diminished her stature with the gay community and with her fans in general.

A fact not previously mentioned in this thread is what made Merman a Broadway star. It was her powerful mezzo soprano voice which needed no amplification to be heard by people sitting in the back row of a theater in the days before the electronic amplification of performers.

In her disco album, Merman begins each of her hit songs with a standard version and about half way through each track switches to a disco beat.

Never seen her in anything else but MAD... WORLD and thought she was friggin hilarious.
Yeah...

It's as if she made a career of being annoying as hell.

In "Mad, Mad World" she somehow managed to act pissed off and abrasive in every single scene. If she was aware of the fact that she was doing this is anyone's guess.
