i enjoy this movie and this be what good entertainment be all about and hollywood today should learn lesson from movie like this . well and a all of u classic movie fan know that the 1950 be the era of movie about real life vocalist who rise to fame but have a hard price to pay that ruin them . lillian roth story i will cry tomorrow portray by susan hayward and the helen morgan story and the country girl and then a star be bear and and countless of other fictional or non fictional film on vocalist who pay the ultimate price for fame . we never get enough of see movie about fall star who leave a place in our heart . this particular movie always interest me and i saw this movie on turner classic movie and fell in love with the singing of doris day and i do not know there be a real ruth etting and i do not know she be really portray a real life singer and i do not check out the real ruth etting until 2 year ago and i saw her for the first time in hip hip hooray on turner classic movie and be kind of shock the real ruth wasn not anything like how doris day portray her . doris day portray ruth a a sexy and sassy performer and sung with a strong and jazzy and bluesy voice and when i saw the real ruth perform in the movie and in 2 short and she wasn not sexy and sassy and she be reserve and the type of performer to stand still and sing with great emotion and feeling and she wasn not the wiggle hip type like doris day portray and ruth voice be so light and airy and powerful without be loud and aggressive and you do not hear the blue and jazz in ruth voice yet she be a torch singer . i see why she be popular she be a one of a kind . she do not have to shout and sing various note to get a song across and she know how to put over a number without all that fancy stuff and singer today could learn a lot about sing from helen morgan and lillian roth and ruth etting and they do not have to jump around and move around and shake their butt and be overly blatantly sexual and they weren not loud and annoy to make you cover your ear and they just sing their song and each word with feeling and they do not do all that oooh and ahhh and ooohwoooyeah stuff . the two thing that ruth and doris do have in common be they both sing with great feeling and emotion . the real ruth etting seem frail and too sweet and she adorable and which make me wonder why she hook up with a gangster anyway but then again look can be deceive and i heard she wasn not the sweet and girl next door type in the first place and she wasn not so naive and a pushover like doris day portray her . doris be very curvy and plump in this movie and she look tough and look like she could let the limp cagney have it and run so he couldn not catch her yet doris portrays ruth a weak and so it make me wonder what the real ruth etting be really like and the real ruth look so frail and innocent and she look a though you could knock her over with a feather but i hear she be tough than doris portray her but i guess the movie be more interesting portrayed ruth a naive and gullible . you know how hollywood be and they never tell the whole truth and they either leave something out and put in what they want . ruth etting do not like this movie and she say many thing be false and she be go to sue but tell not to by walter winchell . ruth etting be one of the top singer in her prime and the definition of a torch singer . she be quite unique and powerful yet with a little voice and a little body but you believe everything she sing and her adorable face and presence would naturally make you feel her pain and behind the pretty face that be a lot of hurt that be obvious through her singing . she be a true artist who make you stop and listen .
