Was Dorothy Dandridge in this?


I don't have this film, but if anyone who has watched it can tell me I would appreciate it. I presume it would've been a bit part, and thus she's probably hard to spot. I know that she was in France around this time entertaining, and at least later in 1957 filming or preparing to film 'Tamango'.

I haven't seen "the happy road" but I suspect she may have done a nightclub / cabaret sort of guess spot in this, as I have seen her singing live but have been unable to identify the origin of the filming. That or she may have provided an unidentified (to the audience) singing voice. Not entirely unbelievable as her career had her in France around this time and she had similar / same circle of friends as Gene Kelly. And she was in Our Gang very briefly, one episode or film i think. It's mentioned in her biography. She was not a regular by any means.
