Question
  Someone asked me a trivia question about what song Vincent Price sang at the end of Dr. Phibes rises again.
  He said it was Somewhere Over the Rainbow.

  Now I am a real Vincent Price fan and this great man was multitalented...a gourmet cook, an artist, a collector of art, classical & jazz afficianado, he even rode roller coasters for a documentary on roller coasters late in his life,...but sing...surely the man couldn't sing?
  I have The Abominable Dr. Phibes and thought I had Rises Again, but can't seem to find it.
  In the first Phibes, Somewhere Over the Rainbow does indeed play as a trumpet virtuoso while the credits run at the end, but...

.......my question is, does Vincent Price sing Somewhere over the Rainbow anywhere in Dr. Phibes Rises again?

    Thank you!  

Answer
Hi Earlie...

Cool your jets... the song does appear in the film, but Big Daddy Vince does not sing... the Phibes films are my favorite Vincent Price movies, and I crank them up every Halloween... trust me, he doesn't sing...

Keep it "reel",
