Round 1: Tossup 1

Roger Thornhill whistles this song to make Eve think that he’s in the shower in a scene from North by Northwest. In another film, this song plays over the end credits after shots of two people having sex and a photo op in a hospital room prompt the protagonist to exclaim, “I was cured, all (-5[1])right!” A nasally-voiced woman in another film humiliates herself by lip-syncing this song as the curtain rises behind her, revealing the true singer. F. Alexander recognizes Alex from his earlier break-in when he sings this song in the bathtub in A Clockwork Orange. This song titles a film set during the rise of the talkie whose other songs include “Moses Supposes” and “Make ’Em Laugh.” For 10 points, name this title song of a 1952 musical that Gene (10[1])Kelly performs while holding an umbrella.
