June screaming at beginning


At the beginning when the men try to kidnap Constance (June Allyson) does anyone else think that her screams were dubbed? It could have been June but she has such a husky voice that I somehow don't think that she would have such a shrill scream.

It's too bad they couldn't dub her acting or her looks.

I agree. She has always been one of my favorites and she had a lovely sweet face.

While it didn't sound shrill to me ...

... I would not be surprised at the dubbing at all. There are plenty of times when the sounds didn't match up well with what I saw.

Two scenes where I thought there were obvious added sounds:

o The fight in the garden, in which D'Artagnon was making goofy sounds while taking poses to make his attacker more angry.

o The spot in which D'Artagnon protests to the other Three that he was only making love to De Winter's main Kitty so he could find out where Constance was imprisoned -- it was Aramis or Portis that passed his handkerchief over his mouth while we heard "delicious, delicious".

Also, many of the stories I heard of Gene Kelly were of him spending lots of time, late in the day and at night, dubbing sounds for tap dancing sequences and such.
