Movie musical trivia question (that I don't know answer to)
Posted by: Chatty200711:48 pm EST 12/19/22
Watching "Cabaret" on TCM this weekend, I started wondering if there is another song in film history besides "Money Money" that is a duet featuring two people who would win Oscars for those roles. I can't think of another one ("America" in West Side Story has other people in it), but seems there must be one...
You may well be right. I certainly can not think of another musical number in a film that is just a duet for two people giving Oscar winning performances. Frankly, other than Cabaret and West Side Story there aren't a lot of film musicals in which two actors won Oscars for their performances.
However, in the '44 film Going My Way when Bing Crosby sings "Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral (That's an Irish Lullaby)" only he and Barry Fitzgerald are in the scene. Crosby sings the song and Fitzgerald has dialogue commenting on it. Both actors won Oscars for the film.
