Flying with Music (1942)
"Pennies for Peppino" Oscar nominated song from "Flying with Music"
5 May 2008 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
I viewed the film on TCM and wrote the lyrics to "Pennies for Peppino" down. I also figured out the music in 5 minutes (not too difficult). I could not understand the line toward the end that goes with the number 4. They were counting. Is it "A coin for the nice Chiquita"? I collect all Oscar nominated songs and this was the only one I did not have. "Cry Freedom" is also sketchy. I met the composers Chet Forrest and Bob Wright many years ago in Miami and they did not have "Pennies for Peppino" but they did have the certificate from the Academy to prove it was nominated. They also had the Tony Award on the wall for composing "Kismet". I was thrilled to finally hear the song - it was 20 years in the search for it.
