@cliffworks- It was an epiphone, not a gibson. I had the pleasure of playing THIS song on the guitar several years back, before the family sold it (before Roc's recent death). It wasnt in very good shape, and needed some restoration. The binding was coming loose.
Frank Sinatra lost his Movie Contract with MGM Studios due to a joke he made about Ginny Simms one day in the MGM Commissary. Louis B. Mayer had broken his leg that morning playing polo, the skinny was that he'd done it falling off a horse. When someone repeated the story to Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly, Frank shouted out " I heard he broke it falling off of Ginny Simms!" Kelly tried to caution him, but it was too late. He was called into Mayer's office and fired that very afternoon....
I have beautiful production stills from this movie of my father and Ginny. You're right he was a feature player in this video - I like the camera-work!
Check out the first biography published on Kyser called KAY KYSER-THE OL' PROFESSOR OF SWING! AMERICA'S FORGOTTEN SUPERSTAR. There's a whole chapter on this film (You'll Find Out). Google it..

I love the gown with the off-the shoulders on Miss GinnySimms. Very lovely lady
and a voice to match.

Tremendous! The ever lovely Ginny Simms casts her beautiful spell! Even Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre and Bela Lugosi succumb to her charms!

Beautiful music sung by a beautiful and talented singer, backed by talented musicians. Simple, isn't it?
