First released in 1941, shortly after Hal (“Prince Hal”) Kemp’s death in 1940. This short was filmed (and completed) the day before Kemp was killed in a fatal automobile accident, and re-released in 1953. The music includes “The Joke’s On You,” sung by band vocalist Maxine Grey (and not by ‘unidentified female vocalist), and “Trade Winds,” sung by band vocalist Robert Allen (XIV) (and not by ‘unidentified male vocalist’). The band also plays “I’ll Be Missing You”, and concludes with “Begin the Beguine,” which was danced to by “an unidentified rhumba team.” Just in case: This is not the same short as the 1938 Paramount short with the same title. |
