@@teruin2 wow I hadn't known that. I figured that the name swap fit in with the ironic song lyrics. Such as Cat Ballou being cold and heartless or Kid Sheleen being so scary
Wayne. Magnificent. You have a lot to be proud of in your dear old uncle. I'm 74. And I have loved these two lads Stubby and Nat and this great happy song from the moment I first saw them in Cat Ballou in the Regent Theatre in CBD Melbourne mid 1960s. They also represent for me a beautiful happy friendship between black and white Americans. No politics. Just happy great singing and enjoying life. Stay well Wayne. Your uncle did a good thing for us all in that beaut old film
@@johnbell5021 Thankyou for the messege John I appreciate it! He was a great man as well as an actor! Guys and dolls, Good news, John Wayne and the cowboys, little Abner, Roger Rabbit and many more! ❤️
Angela Bracewell was a dancer at the London Palladium and hostess of a version of Beat the Clock game. So she was also a performer, per Wiki. You have some noted relations.
@@saran3214 Thankyou Sara! When I was younger I had the opportunity to watch Stubby perform in the show " Good News" held at the O' Keefe Centre in Toronto Canada! I met actor and actress John Payne and Alice Faye! In the limousine after the game show "Missing Link" in Toronto also I met Linda Crystal from the show Bananza! 😊
I was nine when I saw this in the theater, and the only thing I remember was the music of Nat King Cole and Stubby Kaye. Having watched the movie years later, I still feel the music carried the movie. The Oscar winning performance by Marvin came in second, but that's my opinion. Thank you Paul for making this available and for editing out the ballad.
Lee Marvin was 2nd due to playing a duel role and winning best actors LOL... What did you think of" Something about Mary?" The story was different, but they totally ripped of Cat Ballou, and I loved every second of it, difference is I watched that once, I watch this over and over, Technology is great! am i right? or am I right?
i cant stop watching this. what a brilliant, brilliant pairing and really talking to the audience. I read NKC knew he was dying and took this film to secure his family's future.
This was a great movie theme, one of my favorites. I believe this was one of the last appearances by Nat King Cole. They don't make them much like this anymore.
That and Barbarella were her iconic roles of the sixties, but I will still always love her in the China Syndrome. That movie deserved better from Oscar than it got.
This movie is a deeply embedded much loved memory of mine… probably 60% due to the wonderful ballad sung by Nat king Cole & Stubby Kaye. 39% is the outstanding performance by Lee Marvin and his drunken horse.
I am 66 years old, sitting at my desk at work. All of the sudden the themesong to Cat Ballou starts going through my head so of course I had to hear it. I bring up RUclips, do a search and thanks to Paul fromMN I got my Cat Ballou fix. Thanks, Paul.
One of the most brilliant B-grade comedies ever produced out of Hollywood. The pairing of Jane Fonda and Dwyane Hickman was different but the chemistry was brilliant as was it across all the leads. Plus the Oscar for Lee Marvin in one of his finest roles. Train robbery a spoof on Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Scenery and costumes. Script. Everything. And Nat King Coles and Stubby Hayes. This movie nailed it in every way. Best Line by Dwayne Hickman. "Yes! He missed the barn!" Second choices. City Slickers 1&2, Blazing Saddles
He isn't the only one. I will always treasure hearing Three Wooden Crosses and the Box live before HE lost his voice due to his stroke. That was a balladeer if ever there was one. Forever And Ever, Amen is my wife's and my song. It is joined closely by Grandpa and the two I mentioned earlier. Randy Rules.
Don't they also do Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat in that Steve Martin-Debra Winger-Liam Neeson film where Martin plays a Traveling conman/evangelist and Winger his partner in crime, while Neeson is the sheriff of the town they break down in? Why can't I remember that movie's title?
@@bobtoomey Thank you. I suppose I may have had a senior moment there. It also has Meatloaf, Phillip Seymour Hoffman in one of his early roles and Lolita Davidovich, plus Lukas Haase. I hope that was correct. He was the one that played the kid in Witness, the Harrison Ford-Kelly McGillis film. I remembered the film well, could even quote dialogue from it, but could not for the life of me recall the name of the film. You have my thanks. And I agree with you 187.8% about the film. It, along with a couple of other turns where he played a more dramatic role are at the top of his career. The Father of the Bride films come to mind right off the bat. I have noticed that with great comedians. Ace Ventura may be Carrey at his funniest, but his best performances were in movies like Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, the Truman Show and Man in the Moon. What were Robin Williams best performances? Good Morning Vietnam, the Fisher King, Dead Poet's Society, the World According to Garp, Awakenings and Good Will Hunting. Even Mrs Doubtfire and some of his other comedies have many serious elements and moments. And then we have Tom Hanks. His best performances are Road to Perdition, Forrest Gump, Catch Me If You Can, Big, Sleepless in Seattle, Apollo 13, the Green Mile, Castaway, Saving Private Ryan and Philadelphia. Toy Story was great too, but that was animated and mostly a comedy, so it is outside the parameters as it were. Eddie Murphy had the 48 Hours and Beverly Hills Cop movies. Will Smith was Independence Day, Hitch, Ali, Where the Day Takes You, the Pursuit of Happyness, Enemy of the State and Six Degrees of Separation. There was also Men In Black, but that was his outlier. Bill Murray may be the only major exception here in that the vast majority of his best performances were still comedies. His outlier was, arguably, his best, as he won critical and commercial success with it and received awards for it as well. That would be Lost in Translation. Both he and Scarlet Johansen were clear revelations of dramatic excellence in this film. It does seem that most of the female comedians that are actresses fall more in line with Murray than the other guys. Just some observations and opinions.
I need to see this again, I saw it many, many years ago as a kid and loved it and I wonder if it still stands up. Stubby Kaye and Nat, oh to have been on set when they played...
I will always remember watching this movie while we were staying at "The Broadmoor Hotel" in Colorado Springs during Aug. of 1965. I believe at night they would clear the buffet room and show a movie every now and then, which was a rare treat back in those days ! Anyway,I laughed and laughed, loved listening to the ballad and enjoyed the entire movie.
What a great artist! I followed him while I was growing up and I still listen to his songs, especially his romantic ones: L O V E, A Blossom Fell and Answer Me
Nat King Cole was great ,have never heard anybody even close to his talent ,love his Christmas album. he was perfect for this song him and stubbys voices complemented each other perfectly
Quilty or not quilty Cat Ballou🤔Cause she was a little girl....This is one of my favority "western songs".And I always remember that white "tired" horse and " very tired and drunked" Lee against the wall....and what happens then.It's always funny, - maybe best acting that i've seen,and very funny same time.Because i can't ever forget,it must be very,very good.Thanks to You from Finland,north Europe.
Great! I've loved this movie ever since my father took me to see it when I was a boy. Jane Fonda was incredibly beautiful, and Nat King Cole had the greatest ballad voice ever. Lee Marvin was a real riot. I have the movie on DVD, but thanks for posting this compliation!
Jane Fonda had some interesting roles over the course of her career. From Barbarella to Cat Ballou to The China Syndrome to On Golden Pond, and on and on. She represented a different esthetic in characterization back early in her career. I still remember the character from Barbarella, Duran Duran. Anyone recall that name for a band that came later on? I love little ironies like that.
One of my favorite movies. And @Bracewell Wayne all I can say is wow, he was a unique talent who deserves every single ounce of accolades he gets, and probably more.
I haven't registered here, but I would like to say, I love this movie, it's a real classic. Unfortunately, there aren't too many actors these days who would be willing to star in this sort of movie. Also, the singers are great, Nat King Cole and Stubby Kaye, so much talent. Where are these sort of movies these days.
Nat King Cole was only weeks from death when this was filmed. He didn't even make it to the film's opening. His 5 pack a day cigarette habit had ravaged him with lung cancer. Another great taken from us far too soon.
The only good thing is that at least he wasn't one of the Twenty-Seven Club members. Janice and Jimi and the rest. But still a sadness to lose him as young as he still was.
@davidwesley2525 How could we ever? They forever live in my memory as many of the 27's were from my formative era. I am a product of the sixties and seventies. I was born in 1958. That means that I grew up with all of them, all the legends of the sixties and early seventies. I remember Jim Croce dying. I know he wasn't a 27, but I mentioned him because my uncle could have been his twin. He looked just like Croce on his Photographs and Memories album.
I grew up singing along to a handful of great musicals of the era, prime among the highlights were these two men with the Ballad of Cat Ballou, and the timeless classics of Paint Your Wagon. I also recall from my youth 1776, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (this one on stage), Chicago (also on stage) and so many others. My parents believed in a classical education, and that meant exposure to opera, musicals, stage productions, ballet, and, yes, movies. We also got everything from Chuck Berry to Jimmy Hendrix to Bernstein to Copeland to Rogers and Hammerstein to Elvis to Loretta Lynn to Nina Simone. Coursework would include materials that children my seniors by three or four years were just becoming introduced to. I was doing quadratic formulas by the time I was ten or eleven, and Trig before high school began. Calculus by my sophomore year. My father was a linguist with the US Navy, assigned to Embassy work as a translation specialist. That meant private schools overseas, and required at least a basic familiarity with the language there. I learned at various times, Portuguese, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, German, Italian and French. Add in the English I grew up with and that makes eight. I later, as an adult, picked up a little Swahili and a few words of Dutch. That makes ten languages. Of the ten I can speak one spectacularly, two pretty fluently, three more semi-fluently, and the other four well enough to order from the menu or fail to follow a conversation in the language if it gets too specific. I could, if given engineering drawings in almost any language, puzzle out the meanings, but that is more a tribute to my original training as an engineer. My wife can actually speak all those languages, and a few more as well. That is one reason, along with me being an engineer by training and an educator since retirement, and my wife, two years older than me (she will be 66 in September), who is still a nurse, continue to get picked up by aid organizations whenever we apply. We get to travel quite a bit that way. I believe, at last count, we were approaching 60 countries I have been to and nearing 50 of them for her. Three kids and six grandchildren, and 42 years of marriage later, and we have had a great life. Hopefully we have much time together to see much more together, including stage productions and film musicals. We enjoy such activities, and our kids allow us to expose our grandchildren to such things. My grandson would roam around, at four, singing the songs of the musical Hamilton, while his older sister was able to do a really good Idina Menzel doing Let It Go or a few from Wicked. I thought it was funny that the big name Broadway actress with Tony awards and nominations was the one major character in Enchanted that never actually sang a song. Marsden had done stage work, and so had Bergen and Amy Adams as well, but none was critically acclaimed to anywhere near the degree that Menzel is. And Sarandon, although one of her earliest roles was as Janet in Rocky Horror Picture Show, has not done too much singing since. And I cannot recall Timothy Spall singing in Enchanted at all. The point is, that I grew up with this stuff, and have done it all my life, and am trying to pass it down the line to the next generations. I hope they enjoy it as much as I did. Sorry for the rambling. My wife says I shouldn't do it, but sometimes the educator comes out, and I have a difficult time stifling him. Have a great day.
Wow, what an interesting life you've had! Math was my poorest subject in school. I also liked, "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying", with Bobby Morse, and Michele Lee.
@@kimwood9119 Thank you. I loved the movie version of How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying with Morse and Rudee Vallee reprising. One of the better stage to film translations. That one and Hair were among the best translations, although Chicago deserved all the acclaim it received when they made it into a film, and Rocky Horror was better as a film, or so I have been told. I didn't see the original stage production, but enjoyed the film immensely. I remember seeing Bye Bye Birdie as a kid. I loved the entire musical concept. West Side Story, Jesus Christ Superstar, Godspell, it didn't matter, they were all different, and they were all great entertainment. I enjoyed them all. I hope I was successful in passing along my love for musical theater to my children and grandchildren.
I still well up when they do that "They can't make her cry" part of the ballad. My wife usually just wraps her arms around my arm, leans in and rests her head against my chest (I am 6'1" and she is 5'1"), and says simply, "Me too." That is all, just those two words, and I don't feel so alone anymore. Maybe if Cat Ballou had my wife around to do that for her, she would never have been in jail. Just a thought.
I never liked this film or song when I was younger. My grandpa, Poppa Billy, basically forced me to watch it one day when I was staying with the grand folks. I don't believe I ever finished it, and ended up walking out and finding something else to do. He would randomly break out with the phrase "Cat BalLOU-ou-ou", over the years. It took years before I finally learned why. It was his favorite movie of all time. He's gone now, and I miss him. I still can't say that any of this is my scene, but it means far more to me now than it did back then. I'm sorry, Poppa. I never meant to disrespect you.
There's a song missing from this compilation. When Kid goes to kill Strawn, Nat King Cole and Stubby Kaye sing with one of the women. The song continues as Kid opens all of those doors with the screaming women (and I think one screaming man).
All of that was because the screaming man was a kewpie for the saloon girl, and was also pretty close to nekkid (for the time of the movie). That made it require editing, and it may not have fit the compilation well because of the editing done. Just a possibility.
pELICULA MUY DIVERTIDA,UNO DE LOS PRIMEROS EXITOS EN EL CINE DE UNA JOVEN JANE FONDA,DIRIGIÓ EN 1965 ELLIOT SILVERSTEIN(OTRAS PELICULAS SUYAS EL SUCESO(1967)UN HOMBRE LLAMADO CABALLO(1970)EL ASESINO INVISIBLE(1977)
oh noooooooo--I haven't watched it yet! You mean that song was left out? One of the funniest parts of the movie (but it was funny throughout)! Thanks, at any rate, for this compilation! They and the music were all wonderful! (Even hanoi jane, before she became that).
Still better than Nazi Clint. That doesn't mean that I don't appreciate his films. Million Dollar Baby deserved every acclaim Oscar gave it, and Space Cowboys was a fantastic film. Doesn't mean that I don't find his politics execrable. It just means I am capable of compartmentalizing the two as separate entities. He rarely allows his politics to bleed over into his films. Maybe you should learn to separate the actress from the person. Just a thought.
People died very quick if they got lung cancer back then, (sometimes in a matter of days). Nat King Cole never smoked until his show was sponsored by a cigarette company. They asked him to smoke their product, and he ended up with cancer in a few years. If YOU are foolish enough to SMOKE, GIVE IT UP NOW!
I smoked from age 15 to not quite yet 48, but I averaged a mere 2 packs a day (as compared to the nearly 5 packs a day Nat smoked). That means that I smoked the first 26 years of my marriage, to a nurse of all people, who kept chiding me for it. That was really the only thing she has ever nagged me about. I finally quit on July 5, 2006. I did it by one day saying "not another cigarette or cigar". I didn't say it to my wife, or to anyone else in particular, just to myself. That was the person, the only person, I really needed to convince. It was a hell of a fight for the first year or so, and for the next couple of years was a difficult thing, but I rarely have a problem today after nearly 16 years away. I have even found myself around those that still smoke, and have no urge to join them. I am sure if I were like the guys on Dead Like Me, well, I might do it if the occasion warranted it, but those guys can't die from lung cancer, can they? The thing I have never done with anyone who is smoking near me is to admonish them or dun them about it. They will quit or not when they choose to, and not one moment earlier. They must determine, as with any addiction (like addiction to the Donnie Dimwit kool-aid), when enough is enough. You can never force another person to quit, they have to be ready, and they have to make the choice. All we can do is let them know that we will be there to help them if they ask for help, or just a shoulder, when the need arises.

Whoever thought to pair Nat King Cole and Stubby Kaye was brilliant. I love both of their voices, and they blend beautifully.
Harmonies as close as butter on toast ..✋🏼
I like that they swapped names without telling the director, and it wasn't considered worth reshooting the song for.
@@teruin2 wow I hadn't known that. I figured that the name swap fit in with the ironic song lyrics. Such as Cat Ballou being cold and heartless or Kid Sheleen being so scary

@@grennmanalieshi I liked all 3 actors you met. Are you all British? Is that why your aunt was in London?
I was born 20 years after this movie came out and I have always loved it, the acting, & the soundtrack especially.
When we were kids, we thought Lee Marvin saying "I'm drunk as a skunk" was the funniest thing ever said.
What a wonderful voice Nat King Cole has.. Strong, powerful and uplifting.. Thanks Nat, for being you..
The music industry could take a lesson from him..
Two things that really made this movie great. Nat & Stubby singing and Lee Marvin and his horse. LOL
Loved the duo, Nat King Cole had the smoothest voice I have EVER heard.
His voice was as smooth as silk❤

And Marryin' Sam in Lil Abner
This was an AWESOME film. And Jane defined Heaven in them pants :D!!!
That and Barbarella were her iconic roles of the sixties, but I will still always love her in the China Syndrome. That movie deserved better from Oscar than it got.

Second choices. City Slickers 1&2, Blazing Saddles
Great movie from my youth in Bulgaria. Kit Shelin was my hero
Sadly, Dear Nat was suffering from throat cancer, that took him, and that wonderful voice from us the same year. Unforgettable.
He isn't the only one. I will always treasure hearing Three Wooden Crosses and the Box live before HE lost his voice due to his stroke. That was a balladeer if ever there was one.

it's amazing that his voice held out for him to sing so well. Poor man.
This movie still makes me laugh, all these years later!
I remember seeing this movie in the theater on base
I second that choice. "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat" in "Guys and Dolls" is my favorite musical performance. Stubby Kaye is immortal.
Don't they also do Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat in that Steve Martin-Debra Winger-Liam Neeson film where Martin plays a Traveling conman/evangelist and Winger his partner in crime, while Neeson is the sheriff of the town they break down in? Why can't I remember that movie's title?

That is one reason, along with me being an engineer by training and an educator since retirement, and my wife, two years older than me (she will be 66 in September), who is still a nurse, continue to get picked up by aid organizations whenever we apply. We get to travel quite a bit that way. I believe, at last count, we were approaching 60 countries I have been to and nearing 50 of them for her. Three kids and six grandchildren, and 42 years of marriage later, and we have had a great life. Hopefully we have much time together to see much more together, including stage productions and film musicals. We enjoy such activities, and our kids allow us to expose our grandchildren to such things. My grandson would roam around, at four, singing the songs of the musical Hamilton, while his older sister was able to do a really good Idina Menzel doing Let It Go or a few from Wicked. I thought it was funny that the big name Broadway actress with Tony awards and nominations was the one major character in Enchanted that never actually sang a song. Marsden had done stage work, and so had Bergen and Amy Adams as well, but none was critically acclaimed to anywhere near the degree that Menzel is. And Sarandon, although one of her earliest roles was as Janet in Rocky Horror Picture Show, has not done too much singing since. And I cannot recall Timothy Spall singing in Enchanted at all. The point is, that I grew up with this stuff, and have done it all my life, and am trying to pass it down the line to the next generations. I hope they enjoy it as much as I did. Sorry for the rambling. My wife says I shouldn't do it, but sometimes the educator comes out, and I have a difficult time stifling him. Have a great day.
Wow, what an interesting life you've had!
Math was my poorest subject in school.
I also liked, "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying", with Bobby Morse, and Michele Lee.
@@kimwood9119 Thank you. I loved the movie version of How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying with Morse and Rudee Vallee reprising. One of the better stage to film translations. That one and Hair were among the best translations, although Chicago deserved all the acclaim it received when they made it into a film, and Rocky Horror was better as a film, or so I have been told. I didn't see the original stage production, but enjoyed the film immensely. I remember seeing Bye Bye Birdie as a kid. I loved the entire musical concept. West Side Story, Jesus Christ Superstar, Godspell, it didn't matter, they were all different, and they were all great entertainment. I enjoyed them all. I hope I was successful in passing along my love for musical theater to my children and grandchildren.
nat king cole is the reason i quit smoking, 45 is toooo young
Love it. We watches this in 8th grade Corcoran JHS as a class. That was the new Carter education lol.
Awesome movie, really ! Thanks for remember me.....
Good idea, collecting the songs like this.
Stubby Kaye is Best Known for Playing MARVIN ACME in WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Best movie ever made ,stubby kay an nat king Cole , singing is out of this world , love to watch over and over( , wow) Shirley h Darlington 🌹 😘👍🎵🌹
Some mighty fancy finger work on those banjos.
Wonderful movie and a great compilation to remember it.
Funny as hell but the sad moments were genuinely moving too. Brilliant.
´Great movie with so much fun moments.
Lee Marvin was hilarious as Kid Shelleen.
Sad that Nat King Cole passed away before the movie even came out.
He was also great in Paint Your Wagon.
OMG I watch the movie all over again, show it to friends, and my kids. I loved it since age 8
I still well up when they do that "They can't make her cry" part of the ballad. My wife usually just wraps her arms around my arm, leans in and rests her head against my chest (I am 6'1" and she is 5'1"), and says simply, "Me too." That is all, just those two words, and I don't feel so alone anymore. Maybe if Cat Ballou had my wife around to do that for her, she would never have been in jail. Just a thought.
Обичам този филм от 40 години.Обичам те Джейн фонда!
i watched this the other day and really enjoyed it!
Classic.
i cant stand musicals but i absolutley love this.
Excellent, thanks!
I never liked this film or song when I was younger. My grandpa, Poppa Billy, basically forced me to watch it one day when I was staying with the grand folks. I don't believe I ever finished it, and ended up walking out and finding something else to do.
He would randomly break out with the phrase "Cat BalLOU-ou-ou", over the years. It took years before I finally learned why. It was his favorite movie of all time.
He's gone now, and I miss him. I still can't say that any of this is my scene, but it means far more to me now than it did back then.
I'm sorry, Poppa. I never meant to disrespect you.
I loved these two from the film, thanks for posting! This is great.
Thanks for the upload and edit. A classic this is!
another great funny wester with lee marvin and nat king cole and stubby kaye,funny part is when lee marvin and hi horse were drunk
He was also the MC of a children’s show called Shenanigans which I loved as a kid (I still remember the words to the theme song!)
Me trae recuerdos cuando niño me llevaron al cine
I sang all through this.
♫ He - had - the eyes of a killer ♫ (Cold as the devil!) 🤣🤣🤣 Forty-five years watching this movie and it gets me every time!
brill film
Thank you for putting together such a fantastic video soundtrack for us. ❤
O legenda a vestului, cu muzica buna, si Jane Fonda o actrita minunata.
Great editing job! I love this!!!
watching this film as i type this
thanks i wanted to do this myself, you saved me the trouble
I`m from an England and I`m telling you hey up : That bloke shouldn`t have been cacked out of the back `o wagon. It`s shocking, I tell you. Shocking !
AWESOME SONG SINGER'S PERFORMERS MOVIE
I love thus song
This is a cool tribute clip!
There's a song missing from this compilation. When Kid goes to kill Strawn, Nat King Cole and Stubby Kaye sing with one of the women. The song continues as Kid opens all of those doors with the screaming women (and I think one screaming man).
All of that was because the screaming man was a kewpie for the saloon girl, and was also pretty close to nekkid (for the time of the movie). That made it require editing, and it may not have fit the compilation well because of the editing done. Just a possibility.
Un western bun cu 2 cintareti remarcabili. As vrea sa vad filmul pe Mgm.
I.LOVE.THIS MOVIE. I. LOVE. JANE. FONDA. I. LOVE. MICHAEL. CALLAN!!

@dahsuerk His voice was at it's best between '56 & '62.
To greats singing. To bad stubby wasn't as well known.
Im only 16 but i Loooveeee this movie
That banjo he's strummin' by the jail sure sounds like a guitar
One of my top 10 fave movies, and a lot of that was due to Stubby Kaye and Nat King Cole (Lee Marvin did not hurt)
oh noooooooo--I haven't watched it yet! You mean that song was left out? One of the funniest parts of the movie (but it was funny throughout)! Thanks, at any rate, for this compilation! They and the music were all wonderful! (Even hanoi jane, before she became that).
Still better than Nazi Clint. That doesn't mean that I don't appreciate his films. Million Dollar Baby deserved every acclaim Oscar gave it, and Space Cowboys was a fantastic film. Doesn't mean that I don't find his politics execrable. It just means I am capable of compartmentalizing the two as separate entities. He rarely allows his politics to bleed over into his films. Maybe you should learn to separate the actress from the person. Just a thought.
It is crazy bad ass to sew a wedding dress while being in prisson and waiting for execution
People died very quick if they got lung cancer back then,
(sometimes in a matter of days).
Nat King Cole never smoked until his show was sponsored
by a cigarette company. They asked him to smoke their
product, and he ended up with cancer in a few years.
If YOU are foolish enough to SMOKE, GIVE IT UP NOW!
I smoked from age 15 to not quite yet 48, but I averaged a mere 2 packs a day (as compared to the nearly 5 packs a day Nat smoked). That means that I smoked the first 26 years of my marriage, to a nurse of all people, who kept chiding me for it. That was really the only thing she has ever nagged me about. I finally quit on July 5, 2006. I did it by one day saying "not another cigarette or cigar". I didn't say it to my wife, or to anyone else in particular, just to myself. That was the person, the only person, I really needed to convince. It was a hell of a fight for the first year or so, and for the next couple of years was a difficult thing, but I rarely have a problem today after nearly 16 years away. I have even found myself around those that still smoke, and have no urge to join them. I am sure if I were like the guys on Dead Like Me, well, I might do it if the occasion warranted it, but those guys can't die from lung cancer, can they? The thing I have never done with anyone who is smoking near me is to admonish them or dun them about it. They will quit or not when they choose to, and not one moment earlier. They must determine, as with any addiction (like addiction to the Donnie Dimwit kool-aid), when enough is enough. You can never force another person to quit, they have to be ready, and they have to make the choice. All we can do is let them know that we will be there to help them if they ask for help, or just a shoulder, when the need arises.
Yup yup yup yup yup yup yup
The music in this is great. Nat King Cole has the richest male voice I have ever heard and Karen Carpenter the richest female voice I;ve ever heard.
It's pretty much the only place you can look badass sewing a wedding dress short of dangling over a shark tank.
Did anyone notice they were faking the banjos?
Nat King Cole discovered he had terminal lung cancer while the movie was being filmed.
where can i find the banjo tableture for this music? or the chords for banjo...
I loved this movie as a kid. Nat King Cole was great, Jane was beautiful.....you know, before she turned into Jane Fonda, and Lee Marvin was so funny.
@cocoanutt27 YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! One of the voice's is a MAN LOL Not many ppl catch that
Amen, pilgrim. Amen.
His best songs are his early mono versions. He rerecorded a lot of songs in stereo with his voice already going down hill.
