I had a book many years ago that identified Shelley Winters as the office girl in this number. 1:58 2:32 It's hard to tell, I think that source may have been correct, though IMDB just says unconfirmed chorus girl.

Irrational fantasy retrocast choice - no doubt, Peter Billingsley, 1983 as Elroy!

No, definitely too early for Orson Welles. He may have had a name in New York at the time, though not Hollywood. What about Akim Tamiroff? I doubt it, though I wouldn't rule it out.

Okay, the first time you heard the song, how many thought it was "Party Tonight"?

Popular misheard lyric.

(Yes, myself included)

Well done! Thanks for the laugh.

I remember seeing Denny Dillon on a talk show saying that she was in the line. I believe that's her on the right from about 2:52 to 3:04. Can anyone tell?

@NeilFraudstrong

I remember when this song came out in about 1964 or whenever, hearing that he was the son of that actor who played the "boss" in SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH. Probably just a rumor.

I know, I just meant entering the Brady dimension. Speaking of which, R.I.P. Sherwood Schwartz.

He didn't sing lead, Kasim Sultan did.

Exquisite!

Oh, DUH-UH!!!!

All these years I've thought she was speaking some dead language or something. Thank you Lauren, you saved me several house of sleep!

I had shared this with some friends and sent some a bit of a description with it that I should have included here and will now. These two snippets are from England in the 1940s. She was a popular singer/actress there since she was a teenager in the mid-1940s, though I believe not quite as well ...

Yes, song standards are very important to my life, especially working as a senior activity coordinator. I have a lot of Annette Hanshaw, and I wish I had more Ruth Etting. Wish I had more Boswells and more Lee Wiley too. I imagine Ruth Etting must have recorded this song. The ear...
