Let's Be Buddies with Ann Sothern and Virginia O'Brien | Panama Hattie | Warner Archive

Panama Hattie (1942) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #PanamaHattie
Hattie Maloney (Ann Sothern) is a gaudy, good-hearted nightclub singer who tends to love above her station. This time, it’s pedigreed officer Dick Bulliet (Dan Dailey, Jr.), and it’s for real. But there’s one little problem: he’s got a small daughter so ladylike she makes Emily Post look like Tugboat Annie - and she’s not impressed with Hattie’s bangles and bows. And Hattie’s got a trio of protectors, three goofball gobs who think that maybe Hattie’s too good for Dick. This World War II musical sparkles with Cole Porter's music and lyrics.
Directed By Norman Z. McLeod, Roy Del Ruth, Vincente Minnelli
Starring Red Skelton, Ann Sothern, Rags Ragland

I loved, "Say, what's your draft number?". Bet it got a lot of laughs when the movie came out.

[@tomgraves3581]

Is that really Sothern singing?

[@stuartlee6622]

Yes.

[@randysills4418]

Yes! She got her first vocal lessons from her Mother who was a concert singer. Ann won first place for music composition for three consecutive years when she was a teenager.
