rex harrison's voice

another great voice
this clip is preceded, immediately, by harrison...laughing...an identical laugh..., at the ball, when he hears that count zoltan karpathy, 'that harry hound from budapest -- never have i ever known a ruder pest,' has uncovered eliza as a...frrrawwwd -- that she...was...booorrrn...hun'gay'rian -- and of royal blood, to boot

the thing about harrison -- as they say about ginger rogers -- that she did everything fred astaire did, but, backwards, and in high heels -- is that he...'sang'...in speak-voice -- didn't sing, but...spoke...the song


audrey hepburn, on the other hand, didn't sing...at all -- well,...i'm sure she did, in the shower, but...not...in the movies -- except, i think, 'moon river,' in 'breakfast at tiffany's'

here, now, is another example...of harrison's 'singing'



after the movie, ben mankiewicz, t.c.m.'s host, said that hepburn had a fine singing voice, but didn't possess the range...required
