i know i saw this in "shadows and fog" too. i had to find it. that movie sets the best mood in the world. the set is so amazing and the story is loosely based on "M", and this song just works so perfect with all of it
I've been looking all over for this song after I heard it in the Woody Allen film "Shadows and Fog." Absolutely adore this tune, and now I've been introduced to a great performer in Jack Hylton. Thank you!
I've been looking for this Jack Hylton song. It was featured with the ending credits for Woody Allen's movie "Shadows & Fog". Great song, great arrangement!
My great-uncle, Edgar Adeler, was playing piano with Eric Borchard in Berlin in 1926 . A refugee from cancellation due to the General Strike, Paul Whiteman's would come down to see Eric's band. He was attracted to what Edgar says was 'Madonna' by Carl Robrecht (composer of Samum) and Eric introduced him to Robrecht and the result was "When Day Is Done". I think Edgar has confused Robrecht and Robert Katscher. He remembers Bing Crosby and the Rhythm boys rehearsing when the gaff was shut.
A picture showing a swastika seems to be an oddity, while this wonderful music is played by an english band and written by an austrian jew who in 1938 escaped from his country to the U.S.A. when the "anschluß" was done.
The picture is from the Jack Hylton website. I read that Jack Hylton's orchestra was sent out to Germany to try to improve the relationship between Germany and Britain in the 1920's and to try and ease the tension. This song was performed in the main Berlin theatre. I have several other tracks that were performed there and some of them are sung by Austin Egen who was a german vocalist.
Thank you again! Here's another delightful performance of a very important pre-war british band. The voice of Austin Egen gives this song a pretty exotic tone. I note, moreover, the technically perfect quality of sound. A really great job! :o)
@tenorbanjo4 l understand the swastika was a non-political symbol before HItler adopted it for his awful Nazism in the early 1930s.There is a picture of Hollywood's "It" girl wearing a hat with a swastika in 1927
@hovanti ...and the word swastika is is from East India and the symbol was used by the Hindus, Persians, Norse, Celtics, Greeks, Zoroastrians, Falun Gong, etc, etc.. It's been with humanity for aeons as a symbol of the circle of birth,life, death, and rebirth, such as the passing of the seasons. But the National Socialists got a hold of it and now it's a "symbol of evil" in the contemporary perspective. Check out an artist named Man-Woman, he/she's working to restore it's primordial significance
thank you Woody Allen for intorducing me to such sonic finery

Sounds like it was recorded in a large hall. Very early example of the "echo-chamber" effect used once electrical recording became available.
