14. That's The Girl - Mullholland Drive
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHPKe8D01Kk The Song: I've Told Every Little Star - Linda Scott (1961) The Scene: Who really knows what's going on here? Mullholland Drive is a notoriously difficult film and this ostensibly simple seen has a lot going on. Disinterested director Adam is holding auditions for a film called The Sylvia North Story. Actress Camilla Rhodes auditions. She lip-synchs along to I've Told Every Little Star while some members of the mafia look on menacingly. She is cast. Why It's Great: The saccharine sweet voice of Linda Scott is perfectly juxtaposed with the dark undertones of the scene. It's another example of that fine mix of high art and low culture that David Lynch's films are noted for.
