Love It! but...

Absolutely loved this movie, but I was disappointed that they decided to dub Russ Tamblyn's singing voice. I have a HUGE fan of Russ and he was the reason I wanted to see this movie so I was shocked when his character started to sing and it wasn't him! :O I understand if they felt his voice wasn't at the same level as Vic and Tony because Russ isn't the crooner type - but they could of hired someone with a voice that wasn't so deep! It just didn't sound right...
Other than the dubbed singing voice I really did enjoy this movie and watched it 2 days in a row ;P Russ and Debbie made such a cute couple and I thought Ann Miller was wonderful as Ginger :)

Thanks, I was going to post that the song "Why, Oh Why" was my fave, for all three. I thought I heard some of his voice, but I was wrong. Great dubbing, the song is perfect to me.
