"She Does More Without A Voice Than Anybody I Ever Heard."

I just stumbled onto a terrific blog by Allan Ellenberger that's chocked full of goodies.  Do investigate.  In the mean time I'm borrowing this clip he had up in celebration of Ida Lupino's 96th birthday back on the 4th.  It has always been one of my very favorite musical moments in film.  It's from the stylish little noir Road House (1948).

Ladies and Gentiles, Ida fucking Lupino:

She also sings one of my favorite songs (in her inimitable style) in this film, "Again."

All I can say about her singing is 'what a dress!'
