Just to respond to an earlier comment- this is Tracy Nelson, Ozzie's granddaughter. The actress in the clip is not my grandma Harriet, though it is Harriet's voice on the recording. She was not available when they shot this. Just fyi- Ozzie and Harriet's signature spoken boy/girl "riffs" in the middle of the songs when the orchestra played (a la "c'mon get up") was the genesis of their radio show, which was the genesis of the tv show.

Ozzie's band had it's moments in the 30's but by the time they were on the Skelton show they had really found a groove. They had a bright and brassy no nonsense sound. I wish someone would put out a compilation from that era alone. They did some great covers of standards such as "S'wonderful, S'marvelous", "Take The A Train", "Johnson Rag" ... a few of these tunes are available from scattered sources but there should be a good collection of from just that period. Then they should do a collection of O & H's novelty duets which are great fun too!

This neat film comes in the second half of 48 shorts, mostly with bands, that Jean Negulesco directed in the early 1940s. These polished his skills and smoothed his transition from a visual artist to a movie director, He would jump to features in 1944 with the Mask of Dimitrios. He would go on to great success with films such as Johnny Belinda, How to Marry a Millionaire, Three Coins in a Fountain, Boy on a Dolphin and others.

I'm a life long fan of Ozzie and his family. As a kid I heard rumors that he was once in the music field but didn't know he was a band leader, nor that he was the very, very singer he was.

Ozzie's accent during "Dancing with the Mamas with the Moolah" is hilarious.

This was during the period when Ozzie was Red Skelton's orchestra leader on his NBC radio show. When Red went into the service in the summer of 1944, Ozzie- and Harriet, once his "star vocalist"- began their own series: a situation comedy featuring "fictional" versions of themeselves that were completely "real" to radio and TV audiences for the next 22 years!

Incidentally, Harriet does NOT appear in this short. Ozzie's female vocalist at the time was Rose Ann Stevens, who duets with him in the "Come On, Get Up" number at 2:04.

If this shows one thing is how well and skillfully Ozzie has developed his career. He fashioned a really good, direct and very enjoyable sound. He also got Warner Brothers to produce a no corners cut full team production of his performance. Which clearly featured Ozzie as the unmistakable star. Contrast this with the many. Other music shorts of the era which were Far less well lit and overall produced. But the key ingredient here is his real skill as a writer/bandleader and of course, the basic likeable nature of the man.
