I'm old enough to say that I saw this movie when it first came out. :) The music heard on the radio was from Leonard Bernstein's "Fancy Free" ballet. It was the first time I had heard it and I was hooked on it. It wasn't until years later that I could afford to buy an LP of it. The pianist struggling to compose his song was Ross Bagdasarian, who wrote the Rosemary Clooney hit "Come On-A My House." And he wrote "Witch Doctor." He finally made it very big with a comedy record by The Nutty Squirrels: "Alllllllllllllllllv-in!" You can't knock success. But it's terribly annoying. <BR/><BR/>The bad guy was Raymond Burr, who later made it very big as Perry Mason on TV.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780624160852023709.post-59656222749630096332008-12-14T19:54:00.000+00:002008-12-14T19:54:00.000+00:00Totally agree with you David.
