Description |
Charles Keith is the Master of Ceremonies of a night club act. He first impersonates Bette Davis, and this longish Bette Davis 'rap' gradually convinces us that we are not only hearing, but also seeing, the real Bette. Joesfred Portree sings "I love My Daddy But I've Got To Have My Fun" and "Little Audrey" Armstrong dances to "On The Solid Side". |
