How annoying!

Gogi Grant's voice in this movie. It just seems to be so shrill at times. And you can tell Ann Blyth's voice is dubbed just by the way she moves her mouth compared to the way Grant sings it. I'm not talking about the lip-syncing. I'm talking about how Grant opened up her mouth more to produce a harsher tone than the way Ann Blyth held her mouth. Hard to explain, but hopefully you understand.

Sure wish they'd have kept Blyth's voice in the movie!

I don't know anything about Ann Blyth being a singer but it sounded like it could be her voice

Hey Luv,

In the opening credits it clearly states that Gogi Grant did the singing for Blyth. Grant may be best known for her Wayward Wind single in 1956. I remember seeing her singing it quite frequently on various variety shows in the mid 1950s when I was a young lad, but I was not too young to think she was a real doll.

Best wishes,
Dave Wile
