Decent Soundie
boblipton12 July 2023
Busboy Gilbert Frye sings the title song to counter waitress Eleanor Counts in this decent if unexceptional soundie.

Soundies were short films, about three minutes in length. The were meant to be played on a machine called a Mills Panoram, a video jukebox that was typically to be found in bars, lounges, and similar venues. You put a dime in and got a performance from the ten on the machine. The movies would be changed weekly, and from 1940 through 1946, Mills and other companies produced more than two thousand soundies.

It's a typical Tin Pan Alley song of the era, sentimental, referencing current tropes, and competently performed.
