  8. Yes, Eve, although I believe it was written by Harry Warren and Johnny Mercer. The 1938 movie starred Dick Powell, Ronald Reagan, and the beautiful Anita Louise. She can be seen later this month in "The Little Princess". Some may remember her from the 50's TV series "My Friend Flicka", where she played the mother of Johnny Washbrook. In the movie "Going Places", the horse only responds to commands when someone sings or plays the song "Jeepers Creepers", and just like in the scriptures, when Gabriel blows his horn, big things happen. Dick Powell is afraid of horses, but somehow he ends up riding "Jeepers Creepers" in a wild Maryland steeplechase race. It is reminiscent of Harpo Mark in "A Day At The Races" or Lou Costello in "It Ain't Hay". Dick Powell knew that he was near the end of his days as a young crooner, although he would still sing in an Abbott and Costello film called "In The Navy". In the early forties, he would change his image and career completely when he played hard-boiled detective Philip Marlowe in "Murder, My Sweet". Good job, Eve. You didn't have much to work with. Now it's your turn.

  10. Okay, we'll make this next one a bit shorter. There was a movie in which Louis Armstrong sings a song to a horse. That's about all that I'm giving you to go on. What was the name of the movie? What was the name of the song, and what was the name of the horse? I will tell you this. The movie has been shown on TCM in the past, but is probably considered to be somewhat obscure by some, although it had some major stars. The song, however, was anything but obscure. It was nominated for an Oscar and became a standard for many years.

  11. OK, lots to cover here.

    a. Ernesto Lecuona wrote "Always In My Heart" for the film of the same name

    b. "White Christmas" from "Holiday Inn" by Irving Berlin won the Oscar for 1942

    c. Walter Huston sang "Always In My Heart" in the movie. He was famous for "September Song"

    d. "September Song" was sung by Walter Huston in the play Knickerbocker Holiday. It was written by Kurt Weill with lyrics by Maxwell Anderson.

     

    I am familiar with the song because I happen to have a 78 rpm record of "Always In My Heart" by the Glenn Miller Orchestra. The singer on the record is Ray Eberle, one of Glenn Miller's regular vocalists. The movie "Always In My Heart" has been shown on TCM, I believe, within the last year.

  12. Good Work, Skipper! "Baby, Take A Bow" from "Stand Up and Cheer" was such a big hit that the Studio, then called Fox Film, paired James Dunn and Shirley again as father and daughter in a more dramatic story called, oddly enough, "Baby Take A Bow". It was an obvious attempt to lure moviegoers to see it, because the song was not featured in the movie. The only major song in it was "On Account-a I Love You". James Dunn would star in a movie called "Change of Heart" where Shirley had a bit part, and they would be teamed again in "Bright Eyes", which featured the song "On The Good Ship Lollipop". All this happened in 1934, the year that Shirley turned six years old. You can see these songs performed by James Dunn and Shirley on Youtube. Some of the clips have been colorized and the quality is quite good. Now, It's your turn.
