, lyrics by

), a chipper swing novelty, became the final hit tune (albeit moderate) from a

s Orchestra, also on Decca;

Orchestra on Columbia -- plus the films title song on the flip side;

2.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Something in the Wind (1947)?
a.
The character of Dr. Van Horn was originally written for novelist
Salman Rushdie
, a good friend of
Paul Auster
. Because the fatwah issued against Rushdie by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1989 had not been lifted, production costs would have exploded because of the necessary security to guard Rushdie. The part eventually went to
Willem Dafoe
.
b.
During the press junket for the film, a Universal press agent concocted a fake organization, the National Association of Disc Jockeys, in honor of the fact that Durbin played a DJ. The real DJs invited to the junket liked the idea, and decided to make it a real association.

Johnny Depp
interviewed the real George Jung in prison.

3.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Something in the Wind (1947)?
a.
The line, "Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death," does not appear in the book. It is derived from the stage play, where it was originally, "Life is a banquet and most poor sons-of-bitches are starving to death." Though "damn" and "hell" are both heard in the film, "sons-of-bitches" was apparently thought too rough.
b.
The title of the film is a reference to the opening track of
The Hold Steady
s Boys and Girls in America album.
c.
Kevin Jarre
s original script for Tombstone was significantly longer than the final film. It was intended to be an epic, detailing the lives of all the combatant parties in the story. After Jarre was fired as director,
George P. Cosmatos
hired
John Fasano
to trim the script to focus primarily on the Earp family (to make the already-delayed shoot more manageable). Fasano received co-author credit in early promotional materials, but his name was removed from the films credits (probably due to Writer Guild arbitration). Instead, Fasano was given an Associate Producer credit.
d.
On December 6, 1946, Universal International announced that this film, which would go before the cameras the following month, was being named "For the Love of Mary." Instead, the studio would hold back using this title until
Deanna Durbin
s last feature in 1948.
