Good Mornin' - 1939

"Good Mornin'" from the film "Babes in Arms", 1939
.

Arthur Freed's debut effort as producer was this adaptation of Rodgers and Hart's 1937 Broadway hit. Many of the stage score's songs weren't used. This previously written Freed/Brown song was interpolated as a Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland duet.

The song was re-recorded and performed in the musical film "Singin' in the Rain" in 1952 by Betty Noyes (dubbing for Debbie Reynolds), Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor.

In 2004, the version in Singin' in the Rain was listed at #72 on AFI's '100 Years...100 Songs' survey of the top tunes in American cinema.
