Description: 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?!"

Description: Damita Jo sings Silver Dollar. It used to only be a silver dime but... inflation.

I'm not sure about a few of them but overall I think she makes her point! From an original "table tent" design. Scopitone S-1037. Scopitones are music films made for a video jukebox in the 1960s. There were over 70 American ones produced and hundreds of European ones, featuring well-known artists of the time.
Description: Apparently having cocktails at five, admiring boxer Roy Patterson, being familiar with the work of Dorothy Kilgallen, honest prizefights, paying for ice, avoiding people you hate, being prompt for the theater, nixing crap games with the lower aristocracy and eating dinner at eight makes you a tramp.
