Helen O'Connell sings the title song with the Jimmy Dorsey orchestra backing her in this soundie.
Soundies were short films meant to be played on a device called the Mills Panaram. From 1940 through 1946, Mills and a few competitors issued more than 2000 soundies. Each was a bit under three minutes in length; you put a dime into the machine and got one of ten songs, usually a musical number. Programs were changed weekly. The performers might include well established names like Louis Armstrong or Cab Calloway, or anonymous people in their first screen appearances, like Doris Day or Ricardo Montalban.
Miss O'Connell is one of my favorite singers of the Big Band era, while neither Dorsey brother impresses me particularly. The result here is good.
