Amazing to see this music in its original context... I am writing a novel set at this time, surely my protagonist would have seen this. I believe the movie is called Delicious and came out on Christmas Day 1931.
Now THIS film posting justifies YouTube! Thank you, "perfectjazz78"! I'm a fan of this work and was amazed how much of it is in the film - and in Gershwin's original orchestration! Except for M. Tilson-Thomas' performances, what is usually recorded and performed is a very simplified re-orchestration done after Gershwin's death. This is the Real Thing! Thank you!
This is crazy. So ahead of its time.

The actress is Janet Gaynor of the original "A Star is Born" from 1937. Haunting it is.

The actress is Janet Gaynor - the star of the orginal A Star Is Born from 1937. I love Gershwin's music.

In concert, this music is called Gershwin's Second Rhapsody.
