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 right!” A nasally-voiced (-5[1])woman (-5[2])in another film (-5[1])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 (10[1])when he sings (-5[1])this song in the bathtub in A Clockwork Orange. This song titles a film set during the rise of the talkie (10[1])whose other (10[1])songs (10[1])include “Moses Supposes” (10[2])and “Make ’Em Laugh.” For 10 points, name this title song of a 1952 musical that Gene Kelly (10[1])performs while (10[1])holding an umbrella.
