There is just not enough of Bobby Van. So greatly talented, but also unappreciated, underestimated, and was probably born a little too late too make a greater mark as one of the best dancers in the film industry. He didn't even need taps, as his soft shoe and athletic dancing were just too marvelous for words.
Also, such a pleasing, gentle voice, and oozing with charm. And, he was taken away so early. His equally talented wife absolutely adored him. They made for one of the best couples to enjoy seeing together. And they left such wonderful memories.
How cute - what an innocent time - today, show business is a horror and we make stars out of freaks ~ back then, a celebrity had to sing, dance, act, have comic timing and charm. This movie was waay before my time but I wish we could go back to those days. Why isn't this movie available on DVD?
This is a beautiful reprise of the version in Singin' in the Rain. It's great Debbie Reynold's sang the song again with a slower, mellow rendition, it's almost like these two versions belong in the same movie.
I remember so well, seeing this movie.. That song stuck in my mind. So glad to be able to listen to it again. Debbie was part of a chorus that sang it in Singing In The Rain.
wow, i didn't know that dobie gillis was a film prior to the television show! as usually, debbie is amazing, and bobby van and his ukelele of course make the scene all the more wonderful! how ironic that she reprises a song from one of the most successful musicals in movie history. what a lucky gal!
All I do is dream of you
The whole night through
With the dawn I still go on
Dreamin' of you
You're every thought, you're everything
You're every song I ever sing
Summer, winter, autumn and spring
And were there more than twenty-four hours a day
They'd be spent in sweet content just dreamin' away
When sky's are gray, when sky's are blue
Morning, noon and nighttime, too
All I do the whole day through is dream of you
When sky's are grey,
Even when they're blue
And were there more than twenty-four hours in a day
Oh they'd be spent in sweet content just dreamin' away
When sky's are gray, when sky's are blue
Morning, noon and nighttime, too
All I do the whole day through is dream
(I'm dreamin', dreamin' a dream)
Of (Just dreamin', I dream a little dream)
You
Anyone else just watch this on TCM (July14/13)? What a gem!
