Many years ago, I had the privilege of seeing Ethel Merman perform in Annie Get Your Gun at the original Veteran's Memorial in Columbus Ohio, with the Kenley Players summer stock. A favorite memory, and inspired me to go into music myself, which I still do at 65 yrs old today!
So when “MurMANN” was making $375 a week on Broadway. It wasn’t considered much money given that for some folks that was 1 year pay. But making $125 a week at Warner Bros was considered good money. WTH?!
It wasn't just her singing that made her special. Watch her radiate joy and self-confidence. She had a gift for comedy too
She was a RIOT in” Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World”!

She absolutely stole the show in "It's a Mad Mad World" even against a cast of dozens of top comedians!
This is so bad. Shall we say “horrible?”
The Department of Redundancy Department wrote the voiceover narrative, obviously. Obviously.
Ridiculous! The repeats - and all out of sequence. And calling her Mer MEN
Alexander’s Ragtime Band ( 1938 ) was her most enjoyable film by far.

YES, NOTICED THAT FAUX PAS
WHY IS THE NARRATOR EMPHASISING
"MAN" IN HER NAME? MOST PEOPLE
PRONOUCE IT AS "MUN"; MERmun.
SO ANNOYING.
God knows how he got the job
Interesting, but not sure why they kept showing shots of Agnes Morehead being interviewed by Dick Cavett
It’s all about how long you can keep the viewer listening to the drivel , it pays the producers more money.
So the big reveal here is Ethel was not a mermaid, but rather a mer-Man!
Why do you insist on stressing the second syllable of her name??? Even Zimmerman is pronounced with stress on the first!
At least pronounce her name correctly
It's not Mermaaan, but Mermin! Check out how her name was really pronounced. Not like Bird Man!!!
One more MurMann and I'm out.
Her name wasn't pronoucned Mer Man - very poor for a person commentating a doco.
Full of inaccuracies. Merman totally had singing lessons. Yawn.
