Have loved this song sens i was 12 years old. Today i am 75 and its still my favorit. I looked at the movie Rose Marie on tv every time they showed it.
Just love this
Yes, I too felt goosebumps when hearing this song. Ann Blyth's voice is so pure and angelic and so powerful. Fernando Lamas, I've never seen any of his movies but he too has a magnificent voice. Lovely song.
Too bad she did not sing more. A beautiful voice.
I know this may cause some controversy but it is only my opinion. I am 84 years “young” and have
listened many times to this song by Ann and Fernando, also by Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy.
This rendering gives much more feeling and brings reality to the story being told. Two brilliant actors,
two wonderful voices with one beautiful song. How can you improve on perfection? Brings tears to my eyes.Long may this kind of
song and melody live.
Thank You! I'm the poster, and I'm grateful to hear from you! I respect my elders, and I'm approaching 75 years! I, too, have heard and seen both versions of this most beautiful of films. Hardly a musical critic, I was never really thrilled by the Jeanette and Nelson version. As lovely as it was, I thought it was a little over the top, operactically. Lovely Ms.Blyth and Mr. Lamas lent more of an air of authenticity to their rendition. They were 2 people admitting their new love for one another! I found it beautiful, and wanted to share it. Honored to have heard from you! kckjoiuyt876

Wow wow wow. Perhaps its because of the later recording, but I feel as if I'm hearing this duet for the first time; I'm actually hearing the words and actors is command of beautiful, powerful singing voices.
This one was one of my Dad's favorite songs. He is gone now but every time I hear it I recall him and it really is a meaningful and beautiful love song.
+Jorge Mario Rodas What a great memory you have of your Dad! My father was a "secret singer," and this was one of his favorite songs also! Thanks so much for your message! Beautiful Ann is still with us, and must be in her mid 80s by now. No dubbing here; these 2 really had beautiful voices. We're the lucky ones!
Thanks so much for your comment.
Best wishes,
varadero
Greetings varadero 1839 and thanks for uploading this great song. And my best wishes for you too. Regards.
HOW GRATEFUL WE SHOULD BE TO THESE WONDERFUL SINGERS OF THE 50'S WHO GAVE US HOURS OF ENTERTAINMENT IN FABULOUS MUSICALS MOVIES
I was a kid when I saw this movie... I grew up with many memorable musicals This is one of my best......
+Edward McCurdy Grateful to hear from you, and that this piece brought you back in time to a happy place! These 2 are amazing here; their appearances, and voices so memorable! Thanks once more!
varadero
Maravilhoso !!!!!!!! Bendito e suavemente lindíssimo! Eu cantava com minha mãe, quando viva. Depois, nunca mais achei quem cantasse comigo. Enfim.........
wonderful voices like this we do not hear in our modern day, thank you for keeping the greats in archives. seen most of the movies in yhe 50 and 60
Your knowledge is truly vast! I'm so honored to hear from you, and hope you'll keep in touch. Some years ago I actually met Ann, here in San Francisco where I live. It's hard to believe that I actually spoke with her! I still don't believe it, but there was a photographer who took photos and I was able to purchase one of the two of us together.
I'm so glad to hear from you; thank you Edward Durrant, and please keep in touch!
we hear plenty of great voices in our modern time, don't fall for the nostalgia fallacy
Always, always loved Ann as for Lorenzo I fell in love at first sight . Am very Thankful I bumped into this clip.
What a lovely version of the Indian Love Call. Ann Blyth is enchanting.
I saw this movie when I was a little kid I remembered it when I saw the video. Memories...
+Len Cox
Hello Mr. Cox,
About 8 years ago I met Ms. Blyth at a film tribute to her which included a live, lengthy interview on stage. There are a couple of versions here on YT; please look for them. She's still beautiful, tiny, and looks perfectly lovely. In this clip with Fernando Lamas she actually looks "made-down," instead of "made-up!" Guess it wasn't easy toning down beauty like hers! Thanks so much for writing!
varadero
Beautiful. I think I saw this film as a child.
Bellissimo sentire questa musica intramontabile!
Love this! Thank you.
My Dad who died in 1989 aged 59 said this was the most beautiful song ether written.
Hooooo my goooood !!!! It’s soooooo beautiful !!!!!!
Thanks Ms Chant! I agree! Many years after this was filmed I was lucky enought to meet beautiful Ann at a film, and interview shown at "The Castro" theater, here in San Francisco; think is was about 2007. They were both wonderful in the film. I hope you'll watch it all! Just hearing her sing the few bars from "Kismet," is worth the wait!
th-cam.com/video/Wd7m0TztdAA/w-d-xo.html
I've never heard of Ann Blyth until I saw her on those Hostess youtube commercials just now.
It's not easy. I don't have the whole film. I did find it on Amazon for around $50.00! I'll keep looking for you, and thanks for your question!
I am amazed, I never knew that Fernando Lamas was a singer. Did he ever sing in other movies?
He did, and here are 3 from one other movie:

Mr. Lamas was a fine singer! Enjoy!
varadero
he sang a couple times with Danielle Darrieux in RICH, YOUNG and PRETTY - you can find those scenes on youtube
Days gone by
Thanks so much for your comments. I posted this years ago, and had the opportunity to meet Ms. Blyth when she was a guest speaker here in San Francisco some years ago.
back then when actors could actually sing, and music was still music and not noise.
we have that today, too. don't fall for the nostalgia fallacy.
Yea when entertainers could sing, & act without depending on vulgarity. & nudity.
The film also had great roles for Marjorie Main and cowardly lion actor Bert Lahr
If Fernando Lamas had such a beautiful baritone voice, they should have cast him in more musicals and not just in movies where he had those Latin Lover roles.
I didn´t know the Duval-s voice was of Fernando Lamas. If was, very good.
Fernando Lamas was a very good barítone. He also sang in The merry widow and in Happy Hunting with Ethel Merman on.Broadway. Hollywood used very bad his talented singers and prefered to cast actors dubbed instead. There were excellent singers who didnt make musicals like George Sanders Maureen O Hara Dana Andrews Walter Pidgeon Gloria Swanson etc or danced more than.sang Tommy Rall ..
Yes, she did.
It's Rose Marie thanks for posting it's lovely
Oh!
todo esto es marabilloso... verdad
Gracias,
Despues de tantos golpes, me allegro de leer su mensaje! Los golpes son de otras personas, relacionados de otros de mis videos! Me quedo bien felíz a leer sus palabras!
Un montón de gracias,
varadero
Antonio Zepeda maravilloso..!
Varadero1839 : Thanks!
bella musica. molto cara a mia moglie
fernando silenzi
Sono così felice di sentire da voi ! Mr. Lamas ci ha lasciato , ma bella signora Blyth è ancora vivo e talvolta ancora esegue ! Molte grazie per la scrittura !
varadero
Where is Nelson when you need him 🙂
How are you my friend?
Where can I find the whole movie?
Mars Attack
Waar is deze mooie tijd ?
Misschien voorbij? Maar nog steeds in't hart.
They don,t make them like this anymore.
Life without a corset was a good, comfortable life for a woman who didn't feel good and comfortable in uncomfortable underwear.
Fernando is a HUNK!
Beefcake!
This film was not a hit.....and actually stunk...Ann Blyth and Fernanda Lamas laughable.
That's my grandmother! she hasn't changed one bit and still has her beauty. Thanks for all the comments folks. :)
Your grandmother is so beautiful 💕 how lucky are you ❤️💙 kind regards Shirley h Darlington England 🌹🌹
Complimenti!Bellissima e Bravissima tua nonna!Saluti da Trieste, Italy.
You're so lucky to still have your grandmother. ❤
Yes she is very beautiful x
No WAY! That is awesome
Ann Blyth had a beautiful voice, as well as Fernando Lamas. Beautiful version of a timeless classic. Thanks.
I could listen to the song all day it's so it's so lovely just played the great caruso Ann blyth and Mario Lanza a must to watch
I can personally attest to Fernando Lamas' singing talents, as I was in a production of "The King and I" with him and his wife at the time, Arlene Dahl, at the Carousel Theatre in Framingham, Mass., in 1958. I played the favorite princess who pulled on the King's pants for attention at the end of the 'March of the Siamese Children'...alas, my one brush with fame. ; )
"The King & I" produced and directed by Mitch Lee...A wonderful man who I had the pleasure of meeting through a wonderful boss who knew him very well....
I met Ann in 1966, after she had performed on stage in "Kismet". I'm 6'2" and was surprised that Ann was so tiny. But when she looked up at me, I saw the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen. She took my hand and so sweetly thanked me for coming to see the performance. To this day, she is still the most beautiful woman I ever met. Beauty, talent, and warmth of person. Wow!!!
They both sing beautifully. Its hard to believe that she is now 92.
She is 96 now
Love these two, but my favorite two singing this song are the original Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy
My mom and I watched their movies and had the record. Can’t find their movies.
Never get tired of listening to this.❤❤❤
He is too
How can you dislike this vid... must be their age... love the indian love call ... takes me back when i was 8 years old
Lucky you! Imagine being able to say that your grandmother is one of the world's most beautiful women, with a voice to match! If you read some of the earlier posts you'll note how I saw, and briefly met her some years ago, here in San Francisco. My best friend worked with Ms. B in several summer-stock programs some years ago. I'm honored to hear from you, and thank you so much for your kind remarks! Best wishes to your Grandmother!
I'm south Koean. 72years old, I Saw this movie in my middle school age. One afternoon, I leave out my private lesson after regular classes and go to theatre. There Ann Blyth was so beautiful splended, And her voice was so pure and ringing, can't forget after this. She made my inner space more rich and sympathy. Thanks to Ann and heroine Fernando. Art is everlasting. Thank you all!
First time I've seen this version,what can I say?Have goose bumps all over!Had forgotten all about Ann Blyth! Thank you for posting,this has to be the most beautiful version of a most beautiful song!
Betty Petty y
And never new knew Fernando could sing such a wonderful song.💙💙👏👏
Hi Varadero
As always, you have great taste in entertainment !
Back in the 80s, I did a production of THE NEW MOON with Ann Blyth and I have fond memories of working with her. At that time she was in her late 50s but looked and sounded 30 years younger . She still had that beautiful soprano voice. Even in rehearsal she was perfectly dressed with full hair and make up and to this day I have never seen a woman so stunning.
I remember her being a huge draw and audiences LOVED her !
Hi Paul,
First, thanks so much for your kind mention on my channel! You're so lucky to have worked with Ms. Blyth, one of the tiniest, most beautiful actresses I've ever seen. My best friend worked with her in a "summer-stock" production of "The Sound of Music." She loved her too, and says she was so beautiful, still sounded amazing and was very kind. I met her when there was a tribute to her in San Francisco at the Castro Theater, about 10 years ago. Think she was 77 then and looked much younger. Sending you the link, but the quality is not so great:
th-cam.com/video/wBh53DaDHQ4/w-d-xo.html
There's at least 1 other clip that I'd like you to see. At the end she sings, and it's really amazing!
th-cam.com/video/Wd7m0TztdAA/w-d-xo.html
Best to you,
varadero/john
Thank you so much John.
I would have loved to have seen her in one of the summer musicals that she did in the 60s when stars did this sort of thing. You know she did do the National tour of WAIT UNTIL DARK which is all but forgotten today.
My best to you as well.
Mahvelous duet .
Still gives me chills
Wonderful; I didn't know Lamas was a singer; very great.
They don’t make songs like this anymore every night I listen to this song and sleep just love it ❤
You mean you never saw her slap, and punch-out Joan Crawford? That was in "Mildred Pierce!" I think she was only 15 then. The scene must be here on YT at least 26 times. I love her best for her exquisite voice, and for being the "tiniest" girl with the biggest voice I've ever heard. OK, maybe Jane Powell was her equal. Also, she was, and still is incredibly beautiful. If you have time please look here for Ann Blyth Castro. Now she's well into her 80's. She was late 70's then! Enjoy!
You're very wise! This is indeed the same song sung over 20 years earlier by Jeanette and Nelson! I love both renditions, but I've actually met Ann Blyth, and she's my favorite! I've always been amazed that especially after meeting her, a tiny butterfly beauty like Ann, could tear the roof of a theater with that magnificent voice! Also I want to wish belated kudos to Mr. Fernando Lamas. This is his truly amazing voice; not dubbed, no subterfuge. He could sing pretty much anything!
You've got an inch on me, and I met her many years later here in San Francisco. This was a "tongue-in-cheek" tribute to Joan Crawford, and Ann was the guest of honor. I was honored to meet her, and have the photo to prove it. She was then about 78, and looked closer to 50! What a beauty! It's really hard to accept that all that loveliness, and talent, could fit into such a tiny package! Please check here on YT and enter Blyth/Crawford or similar and you'll see her again. Keep in touch!
Cada vez que mi mujer oye esa canción, se ella llorar, pues le encanta y le da como una gran melancolía al recordar que vio la película, un musical llamado Rose Marie cuando tenía solo 15 años y le encantó.
LYRICS to INDIAN LOVE CALL
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
So echoes of sweet love notes
Gently fall through the forest stillness
As the waiting Indian lovers call
When the lone lagoon stirs in the spring
Welcoming home some
Swannee white wing
When the maiden moon riding the sky
Gathers her star eyed dream
children nigh
That is the time of the moon and the year
When love dreams to Indian maidens appear
And this is the song that they hear
When I'm calling you ...I will answer you
That means I offer my love to you
To be your own
If you refuse me I will be blue
and waiting all alone
But if when you hear my love call ringing clear
And I hear your answering echo so dear
Then I will know our love will come true
You'll belong to me, I'll belong to you
Rita Taddeucci Raffanti Hello Rita Taddeucci Faffanti!
WOW! You've really nailed it! Your lyrics are wonderful! I've begun to think that liking, and having posted this particular rendition, has made me not so very likable! I, too loved the original film! Thing is I've always been a huge fan of Ann Blyth! I'll still never comprehend how such a beautiful girl, barely 5', could produce that voice, but she did! Also, I've never been a big Billy Chrystal fan. He may have gained some of his fame by immitating Fernando, but physically he's a nebbish, and Fernando could sing and act circles around him! Look, as you wanted to post the lyrics, I needed to say what I thought about these 2 lovely performers, and at least one of their detractors. I'm happy to know you and hear from you!
Best regards,
varadero
THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your comments, veradero1839 ! I was introduced to the Nelson Eddy/Jeannette MacDonald version of Indian Love Call from a record album my dad had, and I LOVED THE SONG from the first time I heard it ! Then I saw the remake with Fernando and Ann, and I thought Fernando was SOOOO MUCH MORE sexier and handsome in the role than Nelson Eddy...and I LOVED it even MORE when I found out it was REALLY HIM singing ! Thank you very much for posting it...I had to post the lyrics so I could sing along with it. BTW, Billy Crystal knew Fernando and had his permission to do that imitation of him...I always thought it was VERY funny...I also like your description of your channel, and that you are VERY diverse in your postings...KUDOS !
Rita Taddeucci Raffanti I'd no idea that Billy and Fernando knew one another! I take back my sort of snide remark. Think it's kind of against the law to send direct links to friends, but I've 2 suggestions for you. The 1st is that, once in YT, you just go to the big search box at the top and paste this in: Night! - Fernando Lamas, Lana Turner. The other one is: Fernando Lamas! Vilja! Check 'em out! Best to you!

As.a matter of fact, Fernando LIKED Billy and that spot on impression!
As to the "nebbish" comment, MOST guys are unimpressive compared to the physical/vocal adonis Fernando was.
It's scary that anyone looking so good could sound even better! Did you see the comment from Ann's grandson? I'm pretty much on another planet after that! BTW, Fernando had a lovely voice and was not dubbed here. Guess I'm stating the obvious, and I suspect you already knew that!
What a surprise to see this clip.
Isn't this the same song that Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddie made famous in the 1936 movie "Rose Marie"?
VimalaNowlis Yep!
remeber the first time i watched this. At first i though nothing could beat the 1930s one but when he started singing i was shocked at how beautfull his voice was and i think he was very handsome man. Ann Blyth has a voice of an angel.
+Bits And Bobs Hi!
Mr. Lamas had a superb voice, and these 2 really looked and sounded lovely in this film. As for Ann, I was lucky to meet her once and she's still beautiful at 87! Such a tiny lady, with such a very big, angelic voice! I think she left Hollywood to raise her family: 5 children! If you have time when you're in TH-cam, just go to search and type in Ann Blyth Castro Theater. This is from about 9 years ago, but that's where I met her. So happy to hear from you, and many thanks!
varadero
+varadero1839 Thank you, i will have a look.
Both wonderful singers,
@Milordvega Fernando had a fine voice, and was not dubbed here or to my knowledge in any other film. He was trained in his native Argentina. From another source: Fernando Lamas! - "When a person has an accent, it means he can speak one more language than you" - when Johnny Carson teased him about his accent during an appearance on The Tonight Show! Happy to hear from you, and thanks!
Thanks God she is still with us. And may she still be another 20 years. I"m 73 I I hope I"ll be there: God bless her.
Oscar Bernardo Hi Mr. Bernardo,
I feel blessed that I met her some 8, 9 years ago when she was still in her 70s! I'm always amazed knowing that her amazing, huge voice was produced by this tiny angel! Her beauty is unlike any other! Will forward more. My best friend is someone who did summer stock with her in several shows around the US. Thanks once more for your kind remarks, and best wishes!

@Rick36000 Hi Rick36000. I've never been sure why the year 1954 provided us with so many wonderful movies. I agree with you that this ranks among the top! Thank you so much for your comment, and best wishes!
ok
I like this song and the video is good also. The film was made ten years before my own time but it is something worth seeing. Beautiful love story and a theme to match. Nice to hear and enjoy.
Love This Indian love call also mac &eddy And also a great one by ray stevens
@joannecarroll1 Hi! So happy you liked this! I was lucky enough to meet Ms. Blyth a few years ago. The program was here in San Francisco, at The Castro Theater. They showed "Mildred Pierce," and after the movie they introduced Ms. Blyth! The theater went wild, and the following interview was incredible. I don't understand all rules of YT, but if you just go to search, and type in Ann Blyth and Castro, you'll see some of that wonderful interview. She was then 78, now around 81! Just charming!
Ann, I watched 'Rose Marie' the other evening and thoroughly enjoyed it. I really loved you in 'I'll Never Forget You' where you are so stunningly beautiful. I couldn't find an email for you so I'll just send you the congrats here! You are so beautiful!
Fernando Lamas has a good voice yet, to the best of my recollection, he was not known as a singer. Can anybody explain why not ?
Hi Leo Rute,
Just my opinion here, but I suspect he always sang beautifully but arrived in Hollywood at that peculiar time when less musicals were being produced. Sad for us I think. Please have a look at this one from another film; think you'll like it!
th-cam.com/video/NhMCW-_mO9k/w-d-xo.html
Got others! Keep in touch, and best wishes.

@@varadero1839 What about Mario Lanza?
I love the song and the duet. Ann is still with us at 85. She has a beautiful voice and sings this song exceptionally well -- except she's not Jeanette MacDonald. Likewise, Fernando Lamas is not Nelson Eddy. This arrangement sounds like the 1936 version; the harmony seems the same. But the story is obviously different in the 1954 film. As good as Ann and Fernando are here, no one comes out ahead covering Jeanette and Nelson.
I really enjoy all 4 singers! The song is beautiful!
jJeanette and Nelson are more popular but I prefer this performance because its complete.The 1936 is sung cut.But all were excellent; Ann was born in 1928 so she is 90 this year;
If the Dival´s voice was of Fernando Lamas, Its very good, Ann Blyth ever lovely.
He was always good! Such a doubting Tomás! It's late, I'm tired, so just look on my site for the other songs where Mr. Lamas sings. Ann B was always brilliant! I'm happy to have heard from you.
varadero
There's a showbiz legend about a young soprano who used this as an audition song, except that she literally sang the words: "When I'm calling you, double O, double O!"
Hi Mr. Carver!
I posted this, and I'm still laughing! Thank you! Funny story from a friend, writer, music maven, and so on. Hoping to see a popular show at the time, he could only get Standing Room. He spotted a friend of his watching the show, went behind her and slapped her on the ass! She turned to him, grabbed him and they started laughing and kissing! Turns out she was dressed as a nun! She explained that her show, "The Sound of Music," had a different time for the matinee, and she wanted to see this show! Many jaws dropped!
Best to you,
varadero/john
I know this song from my father❤️
🙂🙂🙂
He sounds marvelous.
He was! Few people believed that he was more than just a handsome guy! He was a fine actor, with an elegant singing voice! Glad you liked this! Here's another!

Rose Marie" was the first Ann Blyth movie I ever saw - I was 10 years old and have been a fan of Ann's ever since. I have seen all of her movies and hope they all are on DVD soon. This video brought back beautiful memories of a classy, elegant & beautiful lady with a beautiful voice.
THANK YOU for posting this beautiful share.
+maureen1938
Hi maureen1938,
I'm so glad that you enjoyed this! Given the original film, with Jeanette and Nelson, I was surprised that anyone would even notice this rendition! Ann always had the loveliest voice, as did Mr. Lamas! Some have questioned his vocal talents, but he really was a superb singer! So glad to hear from you!
Best regards,
varadero
+varadero1839 The Jeanette and Nelson version isnt the original version of the musical.They changed the story like they did in this version too.
There was something in the air that night? The Farts were ripe Fernando! If I had to do the same again, I would my friend Fernando?! Abba!!
Thank you for introducing one of my favorite melodies. I have two disks of Country & Western,
one of which covers this song sung bySlim Whitman. Western music in the stage of the
musical seem somewhat different from those on the screen.
The musicals and the western movies are both very useful and enjoyable for the learner of English. Thanks again.
I too saw this when I must have been about ten (1954 minus 1944) and it left a lasting impression on an impressionable young mind. I was entranced by the Rose Marie character and the theme song has been magic for me ever since. Have never been able to access any footage from the 1954 version before (tried you tube a few years ago but there was nothing) so discovering this this evening has been delightful!
@hecate55 Mil gracias! I'm only suggesting that would have been the response from Fernando Lamas, as he was from The Argentine! Lovely Ann Blyth was a tiny beauty, with an enormous voice from my home town, New York City! Though born in Mt. Kisco, New York, she grew up around the corner from St. Patrick's Cathedral on 5th Avenue. I'm thinking you enjoyed this clip, but noting the "Zombie Jesus and Black Easter Bunny" leave me befuddled. Not to worry; that's my usual state. Nice to hear from you!
You have something to be proud of she is a good singer.
Magnificently done..!
Great version , but still prefer Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy version !!
She looks like my Ma Rhee
