Neil Sedaka performs one of his best hits, Calendar Girl, in this scopitone. While I like this song, the scopitone can best be described as... awkward. awkward dancing, awkward costumes, awkward questions that must have been asked: "I had to dress like a bunny for April, so how come Shirley don't have to dress like a turkey for November?!" THOSE kinds of questions. A retro design; so far as I know there was never a table tent for scopitone S-1062.

Kay Starr sings Around The World In 80 Days. From an original "table tent" design. Scopitone S-1010.

Donna Theodore sings Experience Unnecessary, discussing how she'll settle for a guy who doesn't necessarily know what he's doing. The dancing by the couples in this film also proves the adage that newlywed couples only need one pair set of pajamas between the two of them. "She wants a man, not a mouse." Although not a terribly well-known name these days, Donna Theodore was an experienced entertainer in the 1960s, playing the Copacabana, the Fountainebleau Hotel, the Fairmont Hotel, and the El San Juan in Puerto Rico. Later she had a career in Broadway to some success. From an original "table tent" design. Scopitone S-1066.

Gary Lewis and the Playboys Perform Little Miss Go-Go. From an original "table tent" design. Scopitone S-1063.

Frankie Randall sings about a yellow-haired woman who came in on the last train from Memphis. The train design was as confusing as the trio of dancers jumping around town wearing nothing but yellow boots, tight blue pants, arm garters and a dickie... which as you can imagine was really inconvenient for the female member of the troupe. Alas, the local sheriff's brief romance with the yellow-haired woman ends with the sheriff, assisted, by the woman who is still not wearing a proper shirt, pulling the woman off to the pokey by a rope... guilty of being blonde under false pretenses. From an original "table tent" design. Scopitone S-1032.

She was almost made famous in Las Vegas Hillbillies! From an original "table tent" design. Scopitone S-1021.
