Heard this haunting melody as a very young child -- the movie, "One Touch of Venus" with Ava Gardner. Even at a young age -- around seven years of age, the melodic song touched something inside me that remained forever - thank you for posting Mary Martin at her best!
I agree this song was composed for Mary Martin s voice so the singer who dubbed Ava Gardner in the film sound like Mary who should have made the film with Baker who had made many films .
My beloved Mary Martin. Losing her was like losing a dear and treasured friend. I saw her live twice. Nothing like it. She (and many others) represent what once was but is no more, having given way to the coarse, the crappy, and the clever over the truly talented.
Mary Martin, who was in her heyday when I was still a child, was known for being bright, upbeat, sparkling, funny and enlivening, but I realized she was much more than that. Though definitely a comic genius she also projectec also a wistful tenderness and rare sensitivity that could break your heart. Who could miss this in the way she sang "Once Upon A Time and Long Ago" as Peter Pan, or the opening of The Sound of Music?
And she did Born Yesterday on TV. Her Billie Dawn was deeply affecting.
THANKS, I REMEMBER BEING ON LEAVE IN LONDON, DURING AN AIR RAID AND SEEING THIS FILM, LOVED HER, WITH A PASSION!! THANK YOU AGAIN FOR SWEET MEMORY. :):):)

A gem from a legendary era of Broadway musicals.

..i agree with "amalfi348"saying: A hauting melody....unforgetable, although the orchestra could be more present..
