Clift was 15 when he played Prince Peter in ''Jubilee.'' That show featured two of Cole Porter's biggest hits: ''Begin the Beguine'' and ''Just One of Those Things.'' Looking at the songlist, it doesn't look like Clift had any solos, but I imagine he joined in on the tunes for the whole company.
A search of YouTube for any footage of Clift singing turned up two examples. In the first one, Clift sings a snippet of the French song ''Plaisir d'Amour'' to Olivia deHavilland in ''The Heiress'' (1948). The second clip comes from ''The Big Lift'' (1950), a Cold War drama. It's a rare and delightful sight to see him playing comedy as he tries to pass himself off as a member of a German vocal group singing ''Chattanooga Choo Choo.'' |
