What Elvis film features the Donald O'Connor song MAKE 'EM LAUGH?

[Trelane P]

Do you know? I’ve watched this Elvis film many times but only just noticed this song when I watched it last night.

Who will get it first I wonder.

I'll bet I know the movie, but I won't say yet ...

And I'm betting the song is Be A Clown by Cole Porter (on which Make 'Em Laugh was based; the melodies are very similar).

Does your movie scene have anything to do with clowns, circuses or the like?

[Trelane P]

All I will say Getlo is that the scene does not involve clowns or circuses.

Haven't heard Be A Clown so cannot comment on that one but bow to your knowledge there.
