Ever wondered what the dubbed stars of classis Hollywood musicals sounded like?

Your post reminds me of a movie I keep thinking of that that I cannot recall the name of.

It is a movie (40' or 50's I believe - it is B/W) about movie making as the transition was being made from silent to Talkies. It is a story about a leading man who was publicized as being attached to his leading lady. However, the starlet was only a successful actress because you never heard her voice - not even in public (it was very screechy).

If I recall the story correctly, a voice actress was brought in to dub the starlet for the talkies. Leading man ends up galling in love with voice talent.

What movie is that?
