We are so lucky to be able to watch these surviving snippets from 90+ years ago, as acetate films deteriorated with 20 years, especially so with Technicolor examples like this. 👍🤗
SEE THE "KING OF JAZZ" STARTLING COLOR RESTORATIONS DONE A FEW YEARS AGO. ONLY SOME ORIGINAL SEGMENTS OF THE COLOR PORTIONS ARE SO FAR KNOWN TO HAVE SURVIVED. THE THEN - AS - YET - TECHNICOLOR PROCESS WAS 'BLIND' TO BLUE HUES. THEREFORE, THE COLOR SEEMS TO BE ' UNBALANCED'. LOOK AT "KINEMACOLOR" SHOT SILENT ABOUT 20 YEARS BEFORE.
If an old film's negative still exists (film that photographed the actual scene) scanning and digitizing to process back to positive film stock or to Blu-Ray will make the movie as clear and rich, with all tonal qualities, as the day it was first screened. It's not all as simple as all that but you get the idea.
This movie was in two-color Techinicolor, which means the original camera negatives were actually color separations recorded on black-and-white film stock. I doubt those negatives still exist.
scotpens I am asking you because you know the process pretty well: how did they get the blue sky? Even “King of Jazz” couldn’t get a true blue like that.
Technicolor, however, was not QUITE perfected yet. This was "two-strip" Technicolor, which could only emulate red and green images. "Three-strip" Technicolor, which could visualize the entire color spectrum, was perfected by 1932, and initially used in Walt Disney's animated "Silly Symphonies" [other studios would have to wait until his exclusive contract to use the "three-strip" process ended in 1935]. Live-action use of "three-strip" Technicolor began in earnest, in 1934.
1. The song only makes complete sense in the context of the show - where you know he's a hypochondriac and she's his devoted nurse, and there's The Reprise and that punchline! 2. I have to say it again, of course - when the sherriff confronts him, he's just pulled his head out of the oven, hence the "coloration"!
Mr Cantor was a cousin to my mom's mother. A great pioneer in the entertainment industry from Burlesque all the way to the birth of TV. And if that isn't enough, a true humanitarian of the highest order. I only wish I could have gotten to know him.
Eddie Cantor is SO adorable! What an entertainer! Terrific song that he put over wonderfully Thanks so much for this treasure!!! I want to see the whole film now!
Two color Technicolor process number three. "Toll of The Sea" 1922 (in process number two) is the oldest surviving Technicolor feature. Read the new book The Dawn of Technicolor 1915-1935. Kinema Colour was the first viable color process 1906 to 1915 but had fringing. The history of the first forty years of cinema history is not all black and white. Read about it and watch some films on TH-cam. Also, that is Eddie Cantor in black face! It's not right but I'm sure malice was not his intent. We all know he didn't work in a vacuum as there were producers, directors, playwrights, scriptwriters, managers and all those that put these films together. Yes he was a minsteral and stage performer. Nevertheless, these young talents were urged to perform before the cameras to become film stars in order to make money as it is today. These old films are time capsules and the only time machine you'll ever find. Although times have changed these movies are a priceless heritage and once lost...
From what I've come to understand the green in the two color Technicolor process was actually a blue-green. So one would expect to see some elements of blue in the final print but not a real true blue with all its varied shadings. I've also heard that the reason that a three color Technicolor process wasn't used from the beginning was because in the 1920's it was very difficult to find a stable blue dye to be used to be used in one of the three separate film strips. Toward the end of its use in the two color Technicolor process the blue part of the spectrum was enhanced with some sort of masking technique that really made the blues look more natural and realistic. That was about as good as it got for the two strip Technicolor system.
I'm so happy since the day That I fell in love in a great big way And the big surprise is someone loves me too Guess it's hard for you to see Just what anyone could see in me But it only goes to prove what love can do My baby don't care for shows My baby don't care for clothes My baby just cares for me My baby don't care for furs and laces My baby don't care for high-toned places My baby don't care for rings Or other expensive things She's sensible as can be My baby don't care who knows it My baby just cares for me My baby's no Gilbert fan Ronald Colman is not her man My baby just cares for me My baby don't care for Lawrence Tibbett's She'd rather have me around to kibitz Bud Rogers is not her style And even Chevalier's smile Is something that she can't see I wonder what's wrong with baby My baby just cares for me, me, only me My baby don't care for shows My baby don't care for clothes My baby just cares for me My baby just loves those consultations And how she enjoys my operations After our honeymoon In April, May, or June I'll get my nursing free Then I can feel good for nothing My baby just cares for me
I'll be darned if I can tell if this is TWO strip, bonded, dye-transfer Technicolour (Magenta and Cyan, in this example), or VERY early THREE strip, dye-transfer, bonded Technicolour (RGB or Magenta, Cyan, Yellow). I suspect that the credits were done in 2 strip Magenta. Green, and the rest was done in two strip Magenta, Cyan, but I am just guessing. The shirt colour is the indication that it is probably Magenta and Cyan. Two Strip Magenta and Green was most common, but I suppose it depended upon the set designers. I think Magenta and Cyan works much better than Magenta and Green. Why not the THREE strip dye-transfer, bonding process? If you knew how difficult the TWO strip process was, you would instantly understand! In 1931-32 Kodachrome was invented, but NOT used in commercial photography! It was (and still is) a 25 step development process without a negative. Temperature sensitive in the extreme. A 1/4th degree off, and the process goes south. Still, Kodachrome. was sold for home movies (c. 1935). In 1982, whilst working as a custom darkroom engineer, a customer came in one day with thousands of feet of 8mm Kodachrome home movies made from 1936 to 1939! (a rich family!) The celluloid was fragile in the extreme, but the images were colour and resolution perfect! Not a hint of fade or colour shift. No blur or loss of image in anyway! Fortunately, the family did not play the movies much. I had to bake the celluloid (low temp) and slowly alter the environment of the film for a few days, before I could begin the slow process of making restoration dupes to 16 mm. In the end, the film projected as if it was truly modern 16 MM and not a dupe. The resolution of Kodachrome is that good. . I did not have to do anything but clean each frame -no colour-corrections or other image restoration. The final film looked as if it had been shot yesterday, except for the people and clothing in the films were obviously from another time! -All out door shots as it was very slow film. There was no way to shoot Kodachrome with artificial light. Kodachrome has three emulsion layers and was even more expensive in 1932 than 3 strip Technicolour! Another major reason Kodachrome was not used in Hollywood was that making nightly rushes available was impossible. It took too long to develop the raw film stock. Even by the 1950s, processing took too long for use in Hollywood. Too bad, as Kodachrome remains the best choice of analogue colour film today. It's ASA is higher (64) since about 1960. However, if you want to shoot colour analogue film today and do not want to see ANY grain, regardless of enlargement, Kodachrome is your best bet. The E6 process has gotten awfully good, but Kodachrome remains superior. Eddie was a great Vaudevillian and all-round stage performer of professional merit. He could sing, dance and act. Even Groucho liked Eddie. God bless Eddie Cantor. Eddie Cantor was an unusually decent show business cat. -Really, -a prince of a gentleman. Eddie Cantor practically, single handedly, promoted The March of Dimes, and put it on the map. Cantor's efforts probably raised more money than any other single person.

Maybe I was allowed to walk because of Jonas Salk and Eddie Cantor? I am a First Generation Salk Vaccine Baby. I was amongst the first newborns to receive the Salk vaccine as a baby (I still have traces of the scar). It was a round-ish multi-needle injection with several boosters in the following weeks /months. Today, I think it is simply a liquid -one gulp and your're good to go?! I dunno, but it is a lot simpler for kids these days. The only polio that remains on the Earth is frozen somewhere in a petri dish. Such contagions are not destroyed as they still can help us with other diseases. I am not sure exactly how old I was, but I was vaccinated before my memories began (at 2-1/2 years). Anyway, I have that old round scar on my left arm to prove it. Few Americans knew that President Roosevelt was crippled from polio, and that The President spent a lot of his own bread in the previous years on a rehabilitation center in Warm Springs, AK. -Hey, all of you Americans out there; would you elect a cripple as President today? I fear not. Sociopaths traitors are okay, but not the disabled! Go figure. Americans today, need to read more and watch TV less. God bless Eddie Cantor.

@@fonso1030I love this song and sing it all the time. I am friends with Mr. Cantor's grandson, Brian Gari. We both get together every year for an Al Jolson day on Long Island. I am a big fan of both Al Jolson and Eddie Cantor! They do not come any better than those two performers! They did a duet together: Eddie: Now Al, let's sing our duet, but Al, don't sing too loud, because I'm younger than you are and my voice is changing. Al: Huh, for the better I hope!!!
@@georgemuegel7576 😂😂 yes Brian is a great guy, I met him a few times in Joe Franklin’s office. I miss Joe alot and our talks about Jolson and show business I general. He was the last open door on Broadway. Eddie Cantor’s live number “Happy Go Lucky” on his radio show is one of my favorites!
It would be interesting to know how they got blue to appear in two strip Technicolor. Maybe in the modern version they took the red and green channels to create a black and white luminence channel and then did some subtraction of both green and red to get a blue channel. The same technique used for analog compatible color television. The ending western scene is missing blue. The first full spectrum technicolor was a Disney cartoon in 1933. It was actually one strip, for they shot the RGB in sequence on the same reel.
My understanding is that technical made adjustments in the prints. The best example I know of was the Rhapsody in Blue number from King of Jazz. The prints dyes had to be recast to turn green into blue. But yes this example of recasting is amazing!
Please correct the printed lyrics: Cantor doesn't say "Bud Rogers." There wasn't any Bud Rogers at that time. He's saying "But Rogers is not her style," a reference to the great Will Rogers who was at the height of his popularity, with movie roles and a syndicated newspaper column. Will Rogers also happened to be a buddy of Cantor's from their Ziegfeld Follies days.
++Jojoflap Haley Reinhart has a version with Jeff Glodblum that is whimsical and as well as being done superbly, also manages to inject humour into it. It's amazing what fine musicians can do with songs.
In the second clip, you can really see the facial expressions copying Groucho Marx. Makes you think, those eyebrows and thay moustache must have been to help with rhe expression clarity on rhe old picture's
Very interesting to hear the original form of the song. Nina Simone transformed it. Haley Reinhart and Jeff Goldblum have done another take on it, also brilliant.
@@scotpens That'a a real torch version too. Very much Julie London. I hugely like Haley Reinhart's version with Jeff Goldblum. She's made it into a very whimsical song, playing up to Goldblum in a live recording, and great in its own different way. There's some good jazz with Goldblum's band as well.
I just finished the show Simply Simone and that was the first I had heard of the song. Nina Simone's version is something entirely different in a way. I do want to check out the other versions you mentioned here. I am intrigued by Jeff Goldblum being associated with this song at all.
@@rachelle_banks I hope you enjoyed the other versions, or at least found them interesting. Haley Reinhart is a particularly talented and also hugely versatile singer. Look her up singing with Postmodern Jukebox who specialise in giving completely different treatments to comparatively recent pop songs. Creep and Seven Nation Army are two of her best. She has also written a lot of her own songs and recorded wit her own groups.
Trump: my country doesn't care for mexico, my country doesn't care for russia, my country just cares for walls, my country just cares for nukes, and also so many troops, and so many, bing bongs, my country just cares for me, because i am trump!
The melody is different, and it's also much slower than this one. Jazz in the 1920's and early 30's was fast and used various instruments, but modern Jazz is slow and uses mostly pianos and saxaphones. Cantor's version is something you'd hear in parties during the 1920's, Nina's version is something you'd hear in an expensive restraunt.
er.. Wow! How did THAT happen!? I mean, leaving aside the astonishing of-its-time racism etc, how did a fairly dull song get transformed int the brilliant jazz classic as sung by say, Nina Simone?

The Broadway cast was put on a train to California, so this film may be the best preservation of 1920 stage musicals in existence.

My baby don't care who knows it
My baby just cares for me
My baby's no Gilbert fan
Ronald Colman is not her man
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for Lawrence Tibbett's
She'd rather have me around to kibitz
Bud Rogers is not her style
And even Chevalier's smile
Is something that she can't see
I wonder what's wrong with baby
My baby just cares for me, me, only me
My baby don't care for shows
My baby don't care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby just loves those consultations
And how she enjoys my operations
After our honeymoon
In April, May, or June
I'll get my nursing free
Then I can feel good for nothing
My baby just cares for me

He really could hit those high notes!
This was Ethel Shutta's finest hour in films. And her husband George Olsen played the music. Perhaps the best of all the surviving early musicals.
It would be interesting to know how they got blue to appear in two strip Technicolor. Maybe in the modern version they took the red and green channels to create a black and white luminence channel and then did some subtraction of both green and red to get a blue channel. The same technique used for analog compatible color television. The ending western scene is missing blue. The first full spectrum technicolor was a Disney cartoon in 1933. It was actually one strip, for they shot the RGB in sequence on the same reel.
My understanding is that technical made adjustments in the prints. The best example I know of was the Rhapsody in Blue number from King of Jazz. The prints dyes had to be recast to turn green into blue. But yes this example of recasting is amazing!
Great!
You have to admit he had rhythm and a voice, and could hit every note.
My nearly 10 month old granddaughter is named Marjorie (after my mom) and we all call her Margie.
this is the colorized version
The Royal Society Jazz Orchestra of San Francisco does a very great reproduction of this. And everything else that they do.
Please correct the printed lyrics: Cantor doesn't say "Bud Rogers." There wasn't any Bud Rogers at that time. He's saying "But Rogers is not her style," a reference to the great Will Rogers who was at the height of his popularity, with movie roles and a syndicated newspaper column. Will Rogers also happened to be a buddy of Cantor's from their Ziegfeld Follies days.
It's "Buck Rogers", the science fiction hero who appeared in a syndicated comic strip from January 1929. Besides, "but" makes no sense in the context.
You are both wrong… he is referring to Buddy Rogers …or Charles Buddy Rogers … who was known at that time as America’s Boyfriend.
The tall Cowboy might be an Actor that played in a few Hopalong Cassidy 🎥 in the Mid-Thirties. Check out North of the Rio Grande.
This is history
The greatest actor of all time. Way better than Gable, Spencer Tracy, Gary Cooper or any other actor. Eddie Cantor was an actor without equal.,
Love these old movies, hate the blackface, though.
Real singing. Live!
Original "Exit music" starts at 4:01. Most broadcast versions of the film have it cut.
I never see broadcasts of this movie.
great stuff no matter what they say
It is indeed Eddie!
+Craig Rhoads Now I can feel good for nothing !
+Bruce Glover LOVE that line !
Oh, 1930.
Under rated comedian. Great all around entertainer.
Wow, this is tough to watch in 2020.
Then don't. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
wery interesting.
I've seen this without blackface and now, I'm looking for it.
Lmaooo so nobody gonna speak on the black face?
Who cares?
Molto bello
Nina Simone's choice to cover this has a hidden irony that most will miss. No wonder she got sick of singing it.
The original version is still the best one though.
All these years of hearing the modern version and unaware of the original, which I like better!
Nina's version all day long!
I like Simone's rendition of this song, but I personally prefer the original because of how upbeat it feels.

Haley Reinhart has a version with Jeff Glodblum that is whimsical and as well as being done superbly, also manages to inject humour into it. It's amazing what fine musicians can do with songs.
There's something very surreal about this. The black face and that dance, reminds me of Spike Milligan.
Did u know that EDDIE CANTOR was not related to bob at all??? 🤔🤔🤔
0:36
The song begins

The song's second part
1:31
The song's third part
In the second clip, you can really see the facial expressions copying Groucho Marx. Makes you think, those eyebrows and thay moustache must have been to help with rhe expression clarity on rhe old picture's
At 1:49, I think Eddie should have sung Buddy Rogers, not Bud Rogers.
Very interesting to hear the original form of the song. Nina Simone transformed it. Haley Reinhart and Jeff Goldblum have done another take on it, also brilliant.
Julie London did a sultry, bluesy version of the song in her TV concert recorded in Japan in 1964.

That'a a real torch version too. Very much Julie London. I hugely like Haley Reinhart's version with Jeff Goldblum. She's made it into a very whimsical song, playing up to Goldblum in a live recording, and great in its own different way. There's some good jazz with Goldblum's band as well.
Mel Torme and Tony Bennett had versions of it too
I just finished the show Simply Simone and that was the first I had heard of the song.
Nina Simone's version is something entirely different in a way.
I do want to check out the other versions you mentioned here.
I am intrigued by Jeff Goldblum being associated with this song at all.

I hope you enjoyed the other versions, or at least found them interesting. Haley Reinhart is a particularly talented and also hugely versatile singer. Look her up singing with Postmodern Jukebox who specialise in giving completely different treatments to comparatively recent pop songs. Creep and Seven Nation Army are two of her best. She has also written a lot of her own songs and recorded wit her own groups.
"My baby don't care for clothes . . ."
So she's a nudist, then?
Hahahaha :DD
One can always hope!
scotpens No. She's Hillary Clinton caring only for POWER.
P well if she doesn't care about clothes then she wouldn't be allowed in any shows.
Trump: my country doesn't care for mexico, my country doesn't care for russia, my country just cares for walls, my country just cares for nukes, and also so many troops, and so many, bing bongs, my country just cares for me, because i am trump!
He was cute
Anyone washing this on 2021
They don't make movies like they used to
After seeing the obviously offensive version of this tune, it's funny to think that years later this was a hit for none other than Nina Simone.
How is it that he sang better "when he was black"..go figure.
Because black singers are the best. Everybody knows that!
Help, where do you watch this movie
A cute 15 year old Betty Grable led this dance number.
Color in 1930?? Was this a show?
+Gareth But this song was written for the film, it wasn't in the stage play.
Color films have been around since the 1890s, though the first full natural 2 strip technicolor film was "The Toll of the Sea" in 1922.
Das Kinophile ENTP no the first one was The Gulf Between in 1917 though only a few frames survive
No it was a movie
And I thought that Nina Simone wrote this one!!
+Gillian Kroger Walter Donaldson and Gus Kahn wrote it.
+Gillian Kroger I did a double take. This version turns up in closing credits music to the Phryne Fischer Mysteries. Almost missed the lyric going by.
I knew it was not her song originally, but I never knew her version was so completely different. This is not a cover, its a total makeover.
The melody is different, and it's also much slower than this one. Jazz in the 1920's and early 30's was fast and used various instruments, but modern Jazz is slow and uses mostly pianos and saxaphones. Cantor's version is something you'd hear in parties during the 1920's, Nina's version is something you'd hear in an expensive restraunt.
Who was the girl
marco poggioli salutare voltare la lega
he came from nuthin......
I'd love Gaga to do a cover
colored 1930 movie?
wu terrance technicolor
Nice little joke there. Seriously, combinations of green and red only.
Too bad the scene is marred by the black face.
er.. Wow! How did THAT happen!? I mean, leaving aside the astonishing of-its-time racism etc, how did a fairly dull song get transformed int the brilliant jazz classic as sung by say, Nina Simone?
It's a matter of taste. Others would say that Nina Simone just ruined the lively and upbeat original song.
@@atqui Hah yes I guess so. I mean I like this version too.. kind of. Hard to ignore the "black" guy and the cowboy though.. lol
It wasn't meant to be racist at the time, just comedy and sung in vaudeville style.
@@aeichler , nope it WAS racist and they knew it. They didn’t care. Don’t go rewriting history, dear.
Because black people put soul into it. Dude is in blackface and is obviously nowhere close to black artistry. A disgrace, really.
