Alan Ladd Sings!

Alan Ladd isn't known for his singing, but have a look at this clip which has him duet with Dorothy Lamour and this one with Rita Rio - he carries it off fine. OK maybe "fine" is putting it a bit strong but he's no disgrace. Ladd always had an excellent speaking voice and that's demonstrated in both these clips. He looks like he's having fun, too: a bit more of this variety in his career and maybe he wouldn't have offed himself.
