A movie all about Lily Pons tweeting like a bird. And turn down the volume. Her voice has range to break any glass in your house! No wonder this got nominated for Oscar in the category 'Best Sound, Recording'. They really captured Pons' voice. I just wonder how much sensitive equipment got destroyed in the process. I've got nothing against Lily Pons. She's pretty, a strong performer and a incredible voice, but my ears might never fully recover. She gave me tinnitus!
