It’s “Anyone Can Cook (Reprise).” It’s a great song, he’s a tremendous composer.

First of all, Ashley Park had never done a French accent before, and she sounds incredible. But it was all quite hard. It took some real breath control. It’s a patter song, really rapid fire.

Celebrating Hollywood’s Top Movie Musicals Of The 1950s.
By David Cohea, ReMIND Magazine
It was the decade of the American dream. World war and the Depression were fading in the rearview mirror. The future looked bright.

Hollywood movie musicals promised a vintage world of imagination, magic and toe-tapping pizzazz.
Sometimes there was polish to these movie musicals: tuxedoes and ball gowns, shiny shoes dancing on glittery floors. Other times they took us to distant places like Paris or the South Pacific, or into the golden past, be it a frontier farm out West, an old South riverboat floating down the Mississippi or a cab up Broadway in the Roaring ’20s.
