He Laughed Last is a 1956 Technicolor film by Blake Edwards. Edwards adapted the film for his 1999 off-Broadway show, Big Rosemary starring Cady Huffman in the Lucy Marlow role from the original. One of the highlights of the movie was when Frankie Laine sang a wonderful version of "Danny Boy" at the funeral of his mob boss. This song is only available on the Bear Family Records Frankie Laine CD box "I Believe". The movie was a regular on late night television for many years, and is now being shown on the Turner Classic Movies (TCM) cable channel. The movie can also be seen on YouTube.
