My father (age 17+ at the time) was there, possibly on the night this was recorded. The Take Two release included some live as well as some on-site recordings. I asked him about this and he said it sounded exactly as he remembered it, even the comic repartee with Loyce Whiteman. On the dance floor my dad bumped in to Myrna Loy's fanny. She turned and said, "It was fun, wasn't it?"
saw this again and i believe bing was inserted into this from another recording. one can see that he is singing something else, maybe "auf wiedersehn" from another sennett short. bing certainly did perform in the CG, but not in this film.
wow! must be one of the rarest film recordings of all time! i believe the girl is loyce whitman who recorded "ho-hum" with bing in "31 and the gus arnheim orch. incidentally, that is prob arnheim's orch. in the film and in it was bing's only serious rival in the early 30's, violinist then, russ columbo.
Thanks for the kind comments. I obtained the recording about 20 years ago now and thought it a duty and a pleasure to make it available to the public.
What is the name of this song??? I would LOVE the heet music for this song......
Thanks!
