In this movie, Williams' character attempts to play Matchmaker for a lovelorn friend ( Paula Raymond ) by pursuing the man her friend loves all the way to Idaho and try and promote a match between the two. Along the way, Williams falls in love herself with a band leader played by Van Johnson . ''Duchess of Idaho'' is best remembered for its musical interludes, including performances by Mel Tormé , Lena Horne , Red Skelton , and dancer Eleanor Powell . This was Powell's first film appearance in six years, and her last as the 38-year-old performer retired from the screen after this cameo. Horne's contract with MGM also ended with this film, though she would make a couple more MGM musical appearances later in the decade. Several musical numbers filmed for the movie were cut from the theatrical release, including numbers by Horne and Tormé that would later surface on a special DVD packaged in a 2004 box set of the '' That's Entertainment! '' films. EXTERNAL LINKS |
