Movie Song of the Week: “Good Morning Glory”

From 1933's Sitting Pretty -- which is not to be confused with the Clifton Webb movie of the same name -- it's yet another kitschy movie song with water imagery.

This time out we also have the vocal talents of Jack Oakie, Jack Haley (aka the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz), Ginger Rogers and the Pickens Sisters -- as well as yet another reminder of the stuff people got away with before the advent of the Hays Code.

For those of you who are confused by the little boy at Ginger's side toward the end of the song, no, she is not rehearsing for her future role in Bachelor Mother. The boy is supposed to be her little brother. At least, that's the screenwriters' story and so far they're sticking to it.

I hope you all enjoy it.
