| Summary: | Shot by producer-director Phil Tucker in May 1953 as an opening for his 3-D cult favorite Robot Monster, Stardust in Your Eyes showcases "My Heart is Owned and Operated By You," a song composed by nightclub comic Slick Slavin --misspelled "Slaven" in the credits -- who is actually Trustin Howard, a respected comedy writer (The Joey Bishop Show), actor (Career, King Creole, The Bride and the Beast), composer (he wrote the classic rockabilly title song for 1958's Speed Crazy and also sang it in the film) and author (Winchell and Runyon: The True Untold Story)--and highlights his impressions of Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, Ronald Colman, James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Larry Parks as Al Jolson (a great in-joke for movie buffs), Peter Lorre, Sydney Greenstreet and Charles Laughton. This delightful standup routine has proven to be a big hit at 3-D festivals.
