My wife was watching "Valley of the Dolls" (1967) last night on Netflix streaming and started yelling "LOOK! A MOBILE!!!!".
This is probably the best scene in the entire movie - watching Susan Hayward standing in the middle of a huge rotating plexiglass hanging mobile singing "I'll Plant My Own Tree" strangely captivated me like a car spinning out of control for two and a half minutes.

By the way, Judy Garland was originally slated to play this part but was fired when she came to work drunk.
HA! WOW it is giant! That is so great!! Probably a Rolly Crump mobile, he worked in the studios there making props. Thanks for posting.... !!
ReplyDeleteThere was a drag show scene in a movie that I saw where a drag queen performed this song as well as "It's Impossible." I can't seem to find that movie. Has anyone else seen it?
