Of course, this isn't Myrna singing, and it does sound like Ethel! It's a hoot when she keeps singing while pucking up to blow a kiss! I knew Loy was a dancer --she's good.

This is rather ... ( 1 year ago by TheProfaneAngel)

This is rather funny because that singing voice sounds absolutely nothing like her speaking voice. Look what a cute little dancer she is though!

Doesn't sound like Myrna Loy nor Willaim Powell. Now they were a pairing

If that's Ethel Merman's voice, then I am really Ned Sparks.

Myrna's voice was dubbed, but without a doubt...the most beautiful eyes on earth.

I think it is ... ( 1 year ago by carrotville)

I think it is Myrna's voice. Studios sometimes dubbed the actual actor's recorded voice for musical numbers in the early talkies. Myrna's singing is awful. If the studio had used someone else's voice they would have chosen a good singer.

Torch Song- I think it was a female singer that sang with the band......if that would help..Myrna was FDR's favorite it is rumored..........

absolutely special, not our Myrna's voice though.

Don't know if it's ... ( 1 year ago by smurfswacker)

Don't know if it's Ethel Merman...the first number certainly sounds like a young Ethel...but I'd swear the second number was dubbed by a different singer from the first.

NOT myrna's real voice, but thats ok, she STILL works magic!

I love Myrna! and I love imagining that voice is coming out of her. Gorgeous, she was.

The reviews of this movie from 1930 even mention the dubbing rumor.

Is that her really singing? I know she danced well.

Actually the ... ( 8 months ago by disco79)

Actually the studios rarely dubbed voices because of all the criticism that ensued.. as in this case. Another notorious example was Richard Barthelmess's first part-talkie "Weary River". Myrna Loy usually sang in her own voice in the early talkies e.g. "Under A Texas Moon" (1930) "The Desert Song" (1929), "The Squall" (1929) etc. etc.

This is great and it does sound like Ethel Merman singing. Is the very young Loretta Young who's sitting at the table with the two older gentlemen given film credit?
