I’ve never had the pleasure of watching her at her age here. I haven’t even seen I Remember Mama. But I’m a big fan of many of her early movies. Her comic timing is still impeccable. Her vocal charms, though somewhat and inevitably faded, are still unique and lovely 🥰
When Romano Romani, who shaped Rosa Ponselle's legendary career, followed her to Hollywood and became a voice teacher for M-G-M, Irene Dunne was one of the stars he worked with.
I really love watching Irene Dunne on screen. It's not just the comic timing, which was phenomenal, it's the knowing that you're in the hands of someone who knows just exactly what they are doing. She was both amazingly talented and extremely professional and she's always a pleasure to watch. Thanks for this.
Perry Como and Irene Dunne, two great treasures! I always felt Miss Dunne retired from films way too soon, but I'm grateful she didn't neglect television (both series and variety programs, as seen here). And it's wonderful to hear her sing "Why do I love you?," which for reasons I don't understand was relegated to background music in the 1936 filming of "Show boat." Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
They are both so terrific. And were dignified and composed both on stage and off. Both also very savvy real estate investors. Irene Dunne was part of a " Hollywood Catholic Mafia " group who bought the Beverly Hills Hotel from Receivership and sold it for an absolute fortune a few decades later. I saw bits of the Emmys last week and the trashiness and vulgarity were staggering.
interesting - not many homes had color sets in '56 ... in fact, it wasn't until the early '70s that color sets started outselling black and white ... so NBC may have broadcast it in color, but most people saw it in black and white at home

Irene Dunne is elegant, beautiful, and in great voice. Thank you, PERRY COMO SHOW for inviting her to sing with Perry.

I never knew this existed! I've always loved Ms. Dunne. That's the pleasure of TH-cam - you never know what gems you'll come across.
She has a beautiful voice!
Wow. 1956 so she's 58 years old!! Absolutely amazing. Her voice is still splendid.

Brilliant, what a treasure Irene Dunne is.

Always enjoyed his shows
Irene is so beautiful ❤❤
What a fantastic treasure! How I love Perry's devilish grin when he puts his arms around Irene.

oops made a mistake his show was broad cast in color in 56. This is a varied color kinecope faded print.

You can hardly hear this
