Does Red Skelton claim sexual harassment from Betty Garrett during the reprise of this song which originated in the film "Neptune's Daughter" when she sings in a comically man-hungry manner the lines originally sung before by Ricardo Montalban to Esther Williams?
The stuff people get upset about! I can understand Gene Kelly being upset when his "Singin' in the Rain" signature song was used by Stanley Kubrick in "A Clockwork Orange" to the visuals of Malcolm McDowell's character and others raping a woman, but the original intent of "Baby! It's Cold Outside" is flirting to catchy music. |
