matt, "All the Way", and "True Love" are two of my all time favorites, and to of the greats. Except for "Buttermilk Sky" I really enjoy all of yours (oh, and "The Party's Over" - another favorite. Too many to remember, I swear. . . and "Long Ago ..." was like the theme song to the end of WW2 |

The best use of this song - it's a great one - is in the final sequence of Isao Takahata's "Only Yesterday" (1991). There is no clip but the audio of the English language cover is on YouTube. I'm not easily moved by romantic endings, but this one would have really embarrassed me if anyone else would have been there. Here is a half-dozen goodies from a pool of several hundred. Fred Astaire sings Cole Porter’s “Night and Day” to Ginger Rogers and then they dance passionatly in “THE GAY DIVORCEE”1934). (This is the only Cole Porter song this duo performed to.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydxcHACwX4Y“What A Swell Party” from HIGH SOCIETY (1956). Der Bingle and Ol’ Blue Eyes in top vocal and comedic form. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x65-nLCBouEShirley Bassey kills with the title song from GOLDFINGER (1964) www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IdERD81ySU“Cocktails For Two” from MURDER AT THE VANITIES (1934) This song I knew from a very young age by the parody version done by Big Band comedian, Spike Jones and his orchestra, The City Slickers. Even now, hearing it performed straight, I can hear the sound effects that were later added by Jones. www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8Ttg8mv-_c&list=RDw8Ttg8mv-_c“Secret Agent Man” by Johnny Rivers for the 1966 TV series called “Danger Man” in the U.K. and “Secret Agent” in the U.S. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hPm4eiiD08Dick Powell bounds on stage to sing “Young and Healthly” from “42nd STREET” (1933). “Let’s be bold / In a year or two or three maybe we will be too old.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNobTQHMLjE&list=PL_hqwQWRErF-mF0IVrtTzwliBEx6cSEH5&index=3 |

You beat me to my corrections for my typos, etc. And that I don't know "Buttermilk Sky." Couldn't agree more about "Long Ago and Far Away." What a song that one is. And glad to see another Come to the Stable fan. |

Thanks for that link, geode. Love it. It's hard not to love Hoagy Carmichael. Haven't seen the film it's from, but now I want to. Glad you liked my choices. There are a gazillion more, of course, including all the really famous ones that I'm sure we all know and love. Hoagy's appearance in "To Have and Have Not" is one of my favorite things about the film. Here he performs one of his songs that George Harrison would later cover. Hong Kong Blues |

Song is a surprising and an important element adding a heartfelt touching scene to many a Samuel Fuller film. A roller-coaster of emotions the songs within in his films really pack a punch while engrossed in the animated drama... Nat King Cole starred as Goldie in China Gate (1957). Though originally not intending to sing in the film, Cole sang China Gate as he walked through a bombed out village making it a moving tune, a fitting tribute being the last score of composer Victor Young. Completed after his death by his friend Max Steiner, Harold Adamson wrote the lyrics to Young's beautiful emotional theme for the film. www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_K3tKkhHAo Actress Constance Towers was a highly talented singer her song "Little Child" with the children at the orthopaedic hospital draws a tear every time in pulp fiction extraordinaire, The Naked Kiss, (1964)
