This three-minute Soundie, distributed via jukebox-like Panoram machines, features Mel Tormé and other members of the Mel-Tones performing the title song in a collegiate setting. It’s a fairly straightforward filmed performance, though the Mel-Tones were almost certainly miming to playback, as was the case for most Soundies. Their rendition of the song is good, but as far as Soundies go, this short film is only so-so.
