A lovely video tribute to the really amazing actress and marvelous singer
Irene Dunne. If you click on more information, there is a menu to watch directly a particular movie scene that you like.
Irene transferred to
Hollywood following a successful
Broadway career and she was equally at home in screwball comedies, musicals and romantic dramas, always gracious and chatty, zany at times but innately sensible. She was nominated 5 times for the
Best Actress Oscar, but inexplicably she never won one.
As with my tribute video to June AlIyson, I played a lot with the association between the lyrics and music of the songs, the movie stories and with the acting and facial expressions of Irene and the other
Stars.
Enjoy the vision and comment, if you like.
Goodbye and
Merry Christmas 2012!
Erenia ^_^
