The Perils Of Pauline,Paramount Studios,1947. And ,of course, you're correct in your statement about Betty as being one of the best ever. Did you know that she recorded a song entitled Blow A Fuse during the 1940's that later in the 90's was re-recorded by Bjork and was called It's Oh So Quiet?

Great song, I have never heard it before, now I will have to sing it every time I'm sewing! And change the words to knitting machine when I use that.

She's a brilliant talent. Never get tired of seeing her. She steals every scene. And it's impossible to feel negative when she's on. She raises the vibration of the whole set!

Betty was adept with the usage of STACCATO!
