That movie, starring Nat King Cole, is on tv right now. It is a hell of a movie. Good music and some exceptionally beautiful women.

'Cause my baby,
He done left this town.
In other words, Gus. What channel?
High on the channel list.
Would there be a network associated with that high channel list station?
You're asking li'l Abner here, JPB.
I'm tryin' to keep it simple, CJane.
Jane, that made me laugh out loud.
I'm listening; I'm listening. Fantastic. St. Louis Blues with a symphony orchestra. Fabulous. The conductor said what I have always known. the only pure art form in America.
You people made me get out of my chair.
Turner Classics.
Who was that female singer? Anone know?
Thanks for getting up, gus. I don't get that channel. Getting up is good for the circulation ~ you can thank me later.

I'm not sure which one you're talking about, Letty, but the one earlier in the movie, who owned the bar, was one of the most eye-pleasing creatures I have ever laid my eyes upon. And her voice was like oil sliding down a window pane -- smooth and flawless.

How in the hell did you know--? Oh, you mean getting out of my chair?
gus, I just caught the last of the movie, but she sang St. Louis Blues right before Nat did.
JB got you up? Music does that for me.
Incidentally, that gal was Eartha Kitt, I think. I would recognize that vibrato anywhere.
Haven't seen that film for over thirty years. It wasn't a big hit and was realeased right in the era of CinemaScope, Stereophonic, Technicolor movies. Absolutely worth seeing again, though. Don't remember if it was wide screen but the sound was mono:

For jazz fans like myself, what a cast!!!!
Well, I got it right, Mr. Wizard. I have never seen the movie, and only caught the last few minutes, but the symphony orchestra was fantastic. What a cast. Thanks.
