Although I have entirely forgotten every one of them.

Yes, I have access to a set of subtitles for the Duvivier (which is silent, only intertitles to translate).

Lee.

Yes, CHU CHIN CHOW is now virtually forgotten but was certainly remembered in the 1950s. “The Cobbler’s Song” was featured in a BBC TV Variety Show and Angela Lansbury’s show business background could have led to her ad libbing this reference here. Also both Rosalind R, and Coral were veteran performers and knew their musical history.
