For what it's worth: I saw the movie "September Affair" when I was a kid in 1950...Joseph Cotten & Joan Fontaine (the lovers) listened to Walter Huston singing "September Song" on record on a Victrola, but Jimmy Lydon playing the part of Johnny Wilson sang it 'live' in a bar in Italy as Fontaine was playing it on a piano with Cotten listening. The song was heard twice in the movie, first by Huston then by Lydon...I preferred Lydon's version.
Yeah... I'm glad to have found ya and truth be told finally. Thanks 4 that and hope ya'll are all doing good. It's been busy here! It's cold and I'm sooooo ready for summer:-) Take it easy and enjoy your temps above Neg 2~

There is a radio production of KNICKERBOCKER HOLIDAY with Huston playing his stage role of Peter Stuyvesant, the dictatorial governor of the Dutch colony of Nieuw Amsterdam (now New York). He also sings more of the Kurt Weill score on it. But this was his best job as a singer.
great scene from this excellent movie. while it is available on VHS, would be so much better viewing on DVD. interesting that the song was written especially for Huston's gruff voice. thanks for the posting.
how kind of the two of you to say that, I found it on alark and decided to post it with the help of a friend...Ive always liked Walter and this just topped it off for me...thank you again for recognizing him and he was a talented person in a gruff sort of way...ted
I should tell you that my Mom made me search for this song while I was visiting her (she'll be 89 tomorrow, btw). She really enjoyed watching and listening to this great find. One of her fave songs from waaaaaaay back in the day. Thanks again!
Oh really, will please wish her the best on her 89th for me please with great regard...Im trying to find other WH songs, but not yet, I will ship to you if I do, does your mother have a site or work through yours?...this is so nice to hear from you and again best wishes to your mom...
Not sure I've heard ot Scars, but Im sure a lot of songs get by me, I really do listen to what I want and what jogs my memory of the past, in this case it WH singing the tune. The film was September affair with Joan fontaine obviously and Joseph Cotten in his reign. Thanks for the interest, it is quite a calming and reminiscent of the times we've past through,
Hey! Thanks for posting this clip. I had this same 78 they're playing. It's called ''September Song.'' It was on the Brunswick label and on the other side was a wierd song called ''The Scars.'' What movie is this from?
You're welcome... anything for you, always:-)

Wow!!!
A THIRD version of Walter Huston performing this evergreen!
This is definitely a different recording of the two Brunswick 78s (1938 & 1944).
I wonder if this was an alternate take of the 1944 version and used for the film?

I heard this song by Walter Huston when I was a kid and it struck me as being nice, but sad at the time.
Now I am in my vintage years. The song is still as nice, but sadder still.

Sorry, that should have been Joan Fontaine; confusing her with Margot!
