Biography

An American comedian with hang-dog eyes, Jules Munshin began his career singing, dancing, and telling jokes in the Catskill resorts. He later switched to vaudeville, which led him to Broadway, where in 1946, he became a star after starring in the musical Call Me Mister. During the late '40s, he began appearing in MGM musicals. His most memorable role was playing one of the three carefree sailors on leave in On the Town (1949). Munshin then resumed his stage career, and only infrequently returned to films. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Jules Munshin (February 22, 1915 – February 19, 1970) was a song-and-dance man who had made his name on Broadway when he starred in Call Me Mister. Additional Broadway credits include The Gay Life and Barefoot in the Park.

Although Munshin was in successful MGM musicals such as Easter Parade and Take Me Out to the Ball Game, audiences would always remember him as one of the trio of sailors including Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra singing "New York, New York" in the hit film On the Town (1949). Another of his great roles was Bibinski, a Russian Commisar in Silk Stockings (1957).

Munshin died at the age of 54 from a heart attack, three days before his 55th birthday.
