  • I've only heard this sung by a male voice. This is a lovely version!

  • Logically, the lyrics would suggest a male is singing it to a female. However, it was originally written for Miss Durbin, and this is its first performance.  I kind of like the role reversal, a girl calling a guy "pretty as a picture". Besides, Melvyn Douglas, very famous at the time as Garbo's leading man, was a catch that plenty of bobbysoxers Deanna's age would have been happy to pursue.
