@TheKormaa

It is playing in the early 50´s. Believe me.

@johnnynazz52 i agree... i actually prefer her ballads to her more, shall we say, upbeat songs...she has a beautiful voice, just perfect for slow, dreamy songs...i loved her version of "I Promise You" with Bing Crosby in the 1944 film "Here Come the Waves"

This is one of my favorite Betty Hutton recordings. You should rent the film "L.A. Confidential" if you haven't seen it yet. Not only is it a great film by itself, but this recording is featured in it in an interesting way. Most of Betty's work in the 50s was much less wacky than what she did in the 40s, and although she's remembered for her comical parts and novelty numbers, I really enjoy this side of her and it's a shame she wasn't able to continue to work on more material like this.

I love the scene the song is used in. It fits it so perfectly, all those mobs guys getting wacked/getting beat up.

@satinsandspurs L.A. Confidential is always the first thing I think of when I hear it! It was definitely used very well, as was Kay Starr's Wheel of Fortune...and every other song, for that matter, starting right off with the ironic use of Accentuate the Positive.

L.A Confidential is playing in 1953, the song is from 1956.^^

[Ididnotwanttojoin]

@Firgasz And? It's in there nonetheless and it's used brilliantly.. I don't care if it's anachronistic.

@Ididnotwanttojoin

yeah it definitly fits. Its used in the scene where Mickey Cohens gang gets assassinated, right?
