CONQUEST OF SPACE - Rosemary Clooney - "In The Desert Sand" (1955)

1955, Extra Cool Big Screen TV in space, and finally a correct vision of the future, with a super Pre-MTV video featuring none other than the utterly fascinating Rosemary Clooney in some absolutely mind-blowing stock footage from the classic film "Conquest Of Space." 
 
Rosie was an amazing person, and sure, we all know about nephew George, but also her son Miguel Ferrer besides being an extremely talented actor collaborated with Billy Mumy (We're talking "Lost In Space" & "Fish Heads" here!!!!) on Marvel Comics title "Comet Man." In the late 80's we shared a card table with Miguel & Billy at the San Diego ComCon, super cool & down to earth people! For a real treat, by all means, please check out Billy Mumy's Site. Dude's a genius!! Meanwhile, back lost in the conquest of space again...

It took me years to figure out what movie "Ali Baba Be My Baby" was from the Bob Hope movie "Here Come the Girls." You can watch the number at the 54 minute mark on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFX9WreJDbY I remember watching Conquest late at night many years ago and wondering why Rosemary Clooney was in it. I still kind of wonder why; she's not given credit for the movie on IMDB. Maybe even she wasn't aware of it. Now as you watch Rosemary, you'll notice she can't dance -- I mean, not at all. And those were the good takes.
