"Beautiful Girl" is a song with music by Nacio Herb Brown and lyrics by Arthur Freed, first published in 1933. It was originally written for the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film Stage Mother (1933) and appeared the same year in another MGM production – Going Hollywood (1933), where it was sung by Bing Crosby, whose rendition charted in the US at number 11 for 3 weeks.[1][2]

Background

"Beautiful Girl" was introduced by a vaudeville singer and actor Sam Ash in a pre-Code Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer motion picture Stage Mother (1933). It appeared in a show sequence, where it was danced to by Maureen O'Sullivan.[3] The original arrangement and orchestration of the song was made by Jack Virgil and was conducted by Lou Silvers.[4] The master recording of Ash's version was on August 7, 1933.Шаблон:Refn

The first commercial recording of "Beautiful Girl" however, was made by Freddy Martin and his Orchestra on September 20, 1933.[5] A version recorded a week later by Bing Crosby with Lennie Hayton's Orchestra became a hit, charting at number 11 on Billboard for 3 weeks.[1] Released in December the same year Going Hollywood (1933) contained another interpretation of the song by Crosby, in a different key.[2]

According to the labels on shellac records, the target dance for "Beautiful Girl" is the foxtrot.[2]

Re-arranged by Roger Edens and Conrad Salinger, the song appeared in a musical film Singin' in the Rain (1952).[6] Under the direction of returning Lennie Hayton, it was sung by Jimmie Thompson during the "Beautiful Girl Montage" segment.[4]
