She's so good IMO. I watch a lot of TCM movies, and there's all these run of the mill female characters. Not necessarily the fault of the actresses, because IMO they simply didn't give women good roles in many cases in the 30s and 40s ( and probably going into the 50s, maybe by the 60s they started to improve.) Anyway, Barabara Stanwyck always stands out to me. She doesn't get talked about nearly as often as less capable actresses in some cases, or so it seems.
Not only is this version of “Drum Boogie” absolutely dynamic, but visually this scene is a treat as well. The nightclub set makes you want to go in and sit down, and Barbara looks enticing and happy to boot.
I know I've watched Barbara Stanwyck movies with my grandma when I was younger, but I just rediscovered her again after recently watching Christmas in Connecticut. She's fantastic in every roll she played. I especially loved her in Stella Dallas.
I agree 100 percent!! He is faster than many new modern drummers. He could also spin the sticks easily. He smoked way to much and had an early death at age 48 I believe. sad. but he lives on forever! Check him out on the Ed Sullivan show. WOW he was rocking the place!
Thank you for sharing this footage of one of greatest actress's of all time Barbara Stanwyck. Barbara, she could do it all from comedy, drama ,vocal ,dance and was a great femme fatale :-) Howard Hawks wanted Ginger Rogers to play "Sugarpuss O'Shea" in1941 Ball of Fire. Rogers winning her Oscar 1940 "Kitty Foyle" the year before turned down the role. That was good as Barbara Stanwyck hit this role out of the theatrical ball park. Gene Krupa and Barbara due a duet oncore of "Drum Boogie" where Barbara sings and Krupa uses a match box as a percussion instrument sitting at a table with the guest standing around them . Barbara Stanwyck is the best actress to never win an Oscar for best actress in a leading role.
She should have won several. The reason she did not was because she was an independent, not tied with a long-term contract to any one studio as most of the great actresses of that era were. Because she was not associated with any one studio's brand, the studios had no incentive to throw their powerful block voting and marketing machines her way during Oscar Season.
I discovered many old black and white movies on RUclips that I never seen on TCM. And I cut my cord. Why should I pay over a hundred dollars a month for crap I don't watch and then have to pay extra if I want TCM...screw the cable companies.
@@fmahavishnu9807 Really IDIOT ? Sorry IDIOT but I watch many whole movies on some channels with no commercials. And funny I watch old movies that I never seen on TCM.
@lana lake Yes, that's true, but it was belated, very much so. I cannot believe her performance as Phyllis Dietrichson- one of the most chilling portrayals of evil ever seen on screen - didn't net her an Oscar. Just wondering if she'd annoyed certain powerful people who blocked her?
A wonderful funny and perfect movie. Barbara Stanwyck and Gary Cooper directed by Billy Wilder. Gene Krupa's drum truly a show stopper. Many of Wilder's movies are the best.
Actually, Howard Hawks directed this film, though Billy Wilder did co-write the screenplay based on his own story. After this film, Wilder would start directing his own screenplays to have more creative control.
This is real music folks. Just the best for me when I was learning to play drums. And along with Buddy Rich of course! God Bless those guys. Invented by real Americans. Only Americans could invent this level of music after the old European masters. What can blessing for all American culture.
Solid! Awwllll, reet! Swing it, Jackson! Beat me daddy eight to the bar! Bounce me brother with a solid four! Gene Krupa and band clobber it! This movie was fun and the cat's pajamas! Thanks, Howard Hawks, cast and crew. Thanks, Sam Goldwyn and RKO. I love that look on Gary Cooper's face when the music started -- like a cross between curiosity and confusion. LOL!

Can you see Bette Davis doing that? I thought not. The same here, Bette did The Little Foxes, and the only other one who could have done it was Tallulah. But Bette also did "The Man who Came to Dinner". Barbara also did "Meet John Doe" and "The Lady Eve". The Oscar winner Joan Fontaine who should have won at the year before for "Rebecca". Barbara deserved to win this year and 1944, and possibly in 1937 for "Stella Dallas", although my choice would have been Garbo for "Camille".
In the trumpet section one of the most important musicians in Jazz, Roy Eldridge. He had a tough time as a black musician being a regular member of a white band.
I always loved Gene Krupa. Some say Buddy Rich was faster.. but compared to this when he was younger, I don't think so. I have never seen ANY drummer play as fast as Krupa here. WOW, Smoke is coming off the drums!
Loved it but you can tell the singer’s voice was not Stanwyck. You’d think they would have let her do her own singing like she did in “Lady of Burlesque”. What were they thinking?
It always varied. Ava Gardner could sing well but they didn't use her voice in "Showboat," at least in the film, but her voice appears on the soundtrack album of the film. What sense does that make, unless it was some kind of contractual requirement? I don't think Miss Gardner ever understood, either.
Note the great Black trumpeter Roy Eldridge as one of the ensemble and taking a brief solo. Krupa was a teen idol who attracted the same sort of attention Sinatra, Elvis and the Beatles drew later. I remember discovering him in the late 1960's and being impressed at how tight he was, especially compared to the rock drummers of the time.
Although she looks great and was an amazing actress, that is not her singing. She was dubbed and is lip-synching to Martha Tilton's voice. I was just reading that it was and is way more common than we're aware.
Two Misses and one hit, Liltin' Miss Tilton dubbing Missy, whose real voice can be heard at 1:33, "C'mon, Krupe, knock yourself out!" - I knocked myself out _twice,_ by hitting the replay button.
I think that when Gene Krupa was playing the drums he was the singular most happy human being on earth, because it's what he was born to do, and to me that's part of what makes him the greatest drummer of all time. Don't get me wrong, Buddy Rich was a phenomenally great drummer, but to me his playing is almost machine like in it's precision, whereas Gene Krupa played using a loose jointed fly -by-the-seat-of you pants style that allowed him to master something that seemed to elude Buddy Rich, that being the off-beat. The 3 best contemporary drummers I've heard to date, , the late Keith Moon from The Who, Bill Bruford from Yes and King Crimson and Tre Cool from Greenday are all masters of the off beat, And they all play(ed) with the same loose jointed style that Gene Krupa used.
Currently obsessed with listening to Roy Eldridge, such a brilliant musician. According to Roy Eldridge’s Wikipedia page Gene Krupa spent the day/night in jail once after getting into a fistfight with a restaurant manger who wouldn’t let Roy eat with the rest of the band.
This song is an ear-worm. Note at 3:14 the puff of cigarette smoke. In real life, smoking near a singer could be tough on his/her ability to sing. No comments? Nothing new there. Oh well.
Man, what character could Stanwyck not play perfectly?
She's so good IMO. I watch a lot of TCM movies, and there's all these run of the mill female characters. Not necessarily the fault of the actresses, because IMO they simply didn't give women good roles in many cases in the 30s and 40s ( and probably going into the 50s, maybe by the 60s they started to improve.) Anyway, Barabara Stanwyck always stands out to me. She doesn't get talked about nearly as often as less capable actresses in some cases, or so it seems.
@friendlier What a shame that a woman can play any role perfectly but in real life she can't be a loving and caring mother.
Not only is this version of “Drum Boogie” absolutely dynamic, but visually this scene is a treat as well. The nightclub set makes you want to go in and sit down, and Barbara looks enticing and happy to boot.

I’m obsessed with this movie now
I fell asleep once with TCM on and this song came on and was so catchy that it woke me up and I was tapping my foot.
Yes very catchy, I love it.
This song is such a jam 2021 and this still can just get you up and dance. :)
yep totally agree with you great songs never die & great to boogie woogie to lol
Yeah, this number clicks and throws sparks -- even in 2023!
I love Barbara Stanwyck. She's dubbed by Martha Tilton here.
Gene Krupa was absolutely the best drummer of that era! 🥁🥁🥁👍👍👍🥁🥁
I agree 100 percent!! He is faster than many new modern drummers. He could also spin the sticks easily. He smoked way to much and had an early death at age 48 I believe. sad. but he lives on forever! Check him out on the Ed Sullivan show. WOW he was rocking the place!
He died at age 64, not 48.
Gene Krupa! What a guy! Barbara and Gary were definitely fans.

That's a terrific point, Chris. The studios pulled their weight behind the favored love child of the moment.
Meaning the love child under their contract.
Barbara Stanwick was so hot in ball of fire
Match boogie!
Gene Krupa.....best "show" drummer of all times.
Keith Moon's idol 🥁
Absolutely. What amazing skills!!!
TCM - is a great channel. The only one that shows movies worth watching.
I discovered many old black and white movies on RUclips that I never seen on TCM. And I cut my cord. Why should I pay over a hundred dollars a month for crap I don't watch and then have to pay extra if I want TCM...screw the cable companies.

You may be right. RUclips is even greater, but for the commercials.

She was GREAT!
Sj B not her singing
Barbara Stanwick looked so beautiful in that film
Really enjoyed this movie ...one of my favorite Barbara S. movies
WHY was Stanwyck denied an Oscar or fifty???? She stands head and shoulders above most, yet never won an Academy Award. So unfair!
There are tons of great actors who never got an oscar, like Cary Grant.
@@Rodritoledo94 OMG, I didn't know that! Disgraceful.

Wow this is like early songs of the start of the rock and roll era
Drummers are different ...aren't they 😊
Let's also credit the dubber, Martha Tilton!
Gene Krupa...legendary!
Barbara is too legendary.
And possibly Archer's dad
It's a little miracle, that makes films 🎥 like this ...all that could "Go South," and out comes a gem 💎 like this 😉🥰
Before the Big Bang Theory, back in the day was beautiful Sugarpuss and Prof Bertram Potts and his team of multi talented nerds !
This is real music folks. Just the best for me when I was learning to play drums. And along with Buddy Rich of course! God Bless those guys. Invented by real Americans. Only Americans could invent this level of music after the old European masters. What can blessing for all American culture.
Love this movie and jazz piece. Want the movie Blu ray!
See 👀 the woman dancing beside Gary Cooper early in scene ...this slight dancing 💃 shift ...really turns men on 😅🤩
Thanks for the upload! this is history and should be public domain!!!!

Wondering how many drum sets that Geen K went through his career? Only because GK was a monster in playing those drums.

But Bette also did "The Man who Came to Dinner". Barbara also did "Meet John Doe" and "The Lady Eve". The Oscar winner Joan Fontaine who should have won at the year before for "Rebecca".

And of course, Stanwyck didn't quite do it, either - this is the voice of Martha Tilton.
Go, Gene, go!
In the trumpet section one of the most important musicians in Jazz, Roy Eldridge. He had a tough time as a black musician being a regular member of a white band.
One of my favorite movies!
I have seen it so many times. It's so simple and charming. I love light charming movies like this, and I think Stanwyck is SO good.
this is never not stuck in my head
Barbara Stanwyck is great!
I always loved Gene Krupa. Some say Buddy Rich was faster.. but compared to this when he was younger, I don't think so. I have never seen ANY drummer play as fast as Krupa here. WOW, Smoke is coming off the drums!
A late friend of mine saw Gene Krupa several times.
I love just about everything America 🇺🇸 has to offer ...especially their creativity 😊
Drum boogie is really cool music
one of the best movie i've ever seen in my life !
Barbara Stanwick looked so damn hot in this film
She's firing on all 8 cylinders.
Babs looks so much like Anita O'Day... my favorite actress of all time
Gentle hand of the DOP 📷 🎥 ...can you feel it here?😅
Please search RUclips for 4min version, this version cuts off the end of the song/the best part!

Stanwyck’s dubbed here by Martha Tipton, who also sang with Benny Goodman.

Did anyone spot Elisha Cook Jr. as a waiter?
He has a brief exchange of dialogue with Gary Cooper in this scene which isn’t shown here.
Yes!

What a career Barb had
Not a Cowboy, Sherrif, Marshall, or Commanche.in sight.

Who's singing, is it really Barbara Stanwyck? It doesn't sound like Anita O'Day.
Stanwyck is dubbed by Martha Tilton.
awesome!
Now who is the drummer in this scene? That cat is ripping it 🎭🎰
Gene Krupa, one of THEE best drummers of the 20th century.

What sexy legs Barabra Stanwyck had In this classic In this 1941 film classic! I await your reply. ❤😅
❤Love missy
Where is her microphone??? How do you sing over a full band in a loud hall? Was all that lip synched??
Recorded in a studio and lip synced on film while the audience pretends they can hear her.
Almost all musical numbers in films are performed to playback. Barbara here is lip-synching to Martha Tilton's voice.
Somebody knows the name of the black trumpetist ???
I think he's Roy Eldridge, but I could be wrong.
@@Rodritoledo94 It's him alright.
