I was born in Paris in 1951 of American parents. Maurice Chevalier was always and still is my idea of a true French gentleman!!! How I miss men like this.
This is so charming! Such an intriguing concept for a bit. Working in Chavalier's songs so well. They act so naturally, they couldn't have had much time to work it up - lots of orchestration with all those modulations. Love it! Smart entertainment! .
And who have we got now .. Ant and Dec :/ not quite the same really is it lol so glad I grew up watching the old films and listening to the old music via my parents,I hadn't quite appreciated it at the time but boy I do now :D
I have the LIFE magazine from the same month and year this was filmed. The cover photo has Chevalier and Crosby sitting next to each other with Chevalier's head resting on Bing's right shoulder. The cover reads "Chevalier and Crosby: Two Old Pros in TV Songfest. MARCH 10, 1961. 20 CENTS." I wish I could share a picture of it!
Now I know where August Darnell had the idea for the little book when he performed "I'm a wonderful thing, baby" with Coati Mundi on stage... and the canotier hat of course!
Never be another maurice! Lucky to see him on film. Wonderful guy.

I love the way RUclips has brought these greats back to life, and now they will truly live on forever.
Thank you, Merci Beaucoup.....two icons!
*sigh* The drop dead gorgeous Bing Crosby and the incredibly true French romantic Maurice Chevalier together. Thank heaven for them both.
Bing was gorgeous!
Personality, charm, wit, talent, confidence, mastery and ease in every syllable, every gesture, every note!
Chevalier ... was my Great Uncle, my Father's Mother's brother.
?
Your father's Mother's Brother ?
Wow, I have no idea who you are but Charles(his only sibling who had children) is my Great Grandfather. And I know all of my relatives.
Will Hughes, Are you related to Harry Chevalier by any chance??
Wow, all these relatives of Maurice Chevalier!
How cool!!!!
Bing acts, and sings like no other performer.The greatest talent America has produced.
Impossible not to fall in love with them. Where are these types of entertainers NOW? We need 'em!
Smooth as silk and twice as classy.
Two old masters of entertainment and romance❗
Brilliant!
An incredibly complicated medley...How did they ever learn it? And they make it seem so natural, so easy! Amazing!!!

Black book is an outstanding real pleasure!Merci beaucoup for this historical Hollywood incredible rendering! Emmanuel from Paris France
C'est vrai, m'sieur. Bien dit!
What a pleasure to watch them both,these two greats of different country but loved by all.
@rejeanguay6336 Cheavalier came to Hollywood in 1930s/40s where he achieved his greatest success. No doubt Bing knew him back then

@@shyannedianne1962 you welcome
@@shyannedianne1962 is he your favorite France musician?
Allegedly Chevalier could speak fluent unaccented english, but the accent was part of his schtik.
I heard about that. He always spoke English with his accent because everyone loved his accent.

superbe c'est quand maurice était aux état unis
merci a vous
le jeune premier..on ètait toutes amoureuses de Louis Jourdan.......
Sounds exactly like Lumiere from the beauty and the beast. Lol
The singer who did its voice (both in english and french) was in fact told to imitate Maurice Chevalier voice !
Regards.
It’s unfair bings lap is brighter lighted&clear maurice too dark for seeing where to kiss him
What book were they talking about in the beginning? Maurice's book
One of his autobiographies called "With Love".
Thank God, they don´t sing with Julio Iglesias.
That pal´s got, not a little black book, but an encyclopedia.
Maurice chevalier et mort en 1972
Sadly!
Imagine this song is new in 2020.lol
