The song is Anything Goes from the show of the same name, written by Cole Porter. Bing Crosby was the star of two movies with the title Anything Goes. The first one, made in 1936, was an adaptation of the stage show. The second one came along 20 years later and had a completely different plot.
Yes, a great song with two different movie plots.
Star, it's all yours.....

Here's a couple that may require a bit of research to identify. He considered himself lucky to get a job as an actor. He was working behind the scenes as a film editor and assistant cameraman when his friend, one of the stars of a western movie series, left the series to make bigger budgeted films. The role was a handsome young cowboy side kick to the western's number one star. This fellow fit the bill. He was also an outstanding horseman. In each movie, his character falls in love with a pretty girl, but at the end, he rides off with the western's star.
She was a petite young actress and singer who was cast in several of these westerns. She got to display her singing talents in them several times. Just like his character, they met on the set and fell in love. They were married within a few months.
He left the series after a few years to make other movies, but his fans always remembered him as the side kick in those westerns. They divorced after five years of marriage. He went into the service as World War II was ongoing. After the war he worked at Universal in a serial that was shown on TCM within the last few years.
With a slight name change to her first name, she made a few movies in the early forties then she went to New York and played the female lead in a well known Broadway musical. In the late forties, she returned to Hollywood and appeared in a very dramatic movie about a woman in a mental hospital. She got to sing in that movie, as well.
In the fifties, she became a TV mom, starring in a popular family oriented TV series.
In the late forties and early fifties, he teamed up with that friend who he had replaced some years earlier and they made a series of western movies, His character's last name changed from picture to picture, but the first name was always the same. He also starred in a short lived western series on TV.
Do you know this couple?
Miles, I don't know much about westerns. But I know about Rodgers and Hammerstein. Jan Clayton was one of the biggest stars on Broadway in the 1940s, starring in "Carousel". She followed that up in the 1950s--also becoming a classic TV star on "Lassie", co-starring with Tommy Rettig, as her son. In between all of that, she had time to appear in an iconic film about mental illness, "The Snake Pit", displaying her Broadway singing talents.
Jan's first husband was Russell Hayden who played a sidekick on the "Hopalong Cassidy" film series. He also starred in some classic TV western series, far before my time. But I do remember "26 Men" that he produced.
Miles, a terrific question that had something for everybody in it.
