I've Got to Sing a Torch Song Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies animated short film, directed by Tom Palmer .[2] [3] [4] I Loved a Woman
The cartoon is a medley of gags set to the song "I've Got to Sing a Torch Song" and radio broadcasts. Characters, including caricatures of 1930s celebrities like Benito Mussolini and Greta Garbo , are seen in various locations like China, Africa, and New York City. Scenes feature humorous depictions of cultural stereotypes and celebrity impersonations, including Bing Crosby and James Cagney . The Statue of Liberty sings the title track, ending with a nod to Jimmy Durante . Ed Wynn 's running gag with a cannon culminates in a misfire, sending him flying into his home where his family wears firemen's hats[5] [6] [7]
