  1. am searching for. I know all the songs on the list and note that most were sung by groups or MacDonald. The two that were not vocalized are known by just about everyone, I suspect. The waltz I'm searching for isn't on your list and no one sang it. Unfortunately, this is the problem I've run into ever since I first heard the darned thing. No one seems to know what it is. If you ever see the movie here's the lead-in... Aherne's character is explaining to his ward (MacDonald) why he hates the Wayne's (the antagonist) so much. The flashback begins with the words: "It was the night before our wedding and I can see it as if it were yesterday'' the scene flashes back and the melody of ''Rose Of Tralee'' is playing in the background. People are in a huge ballroom and much dancing is going on. As that movement ends, the waltz shifts into the next movement, but the ''Rose'' melody keeps returning. I have a feeling that I never will get the answer to this. That music is probably buried deep in the past.
  2. played during a flashback of the wedding of the male lead (Brian Aherne) to one of Jeanette MacDonald's characters (Moonean). The music from one movement of that waltz is the melody used for the Irish song ''Rose Of Tralee''. I've been trying to uncover the name of that waltz for 30 years and it would appear that no one knows what it is. There's a good chance that Robt. Osborne would know, but I never managed to pose that question to him. Does anyone on this board happen to know: a. the name of the waltz, or failing that, know; b. how to contact Robt. Osborne? I'd sure like to know the name of that waltz.
