My only complaint is that the strings aren as lush, and don't have the rich vibrato you get with the Mantovani Orchestra. And wouldn't an electric Wurlitzer have been a better choice instead of that tin piano thing for continuo? Maybe a couple of saxes, oh - a sax choir, too!

I'm going to hell, aren't I?

I was just sitting here wondering what movie/TV show it brought to mind ... thanks, would have kept me up all night until I thought of it. ;-)

The version in the film is my favorite ever. Almost lackadaisical, dreamy, and wonderful. Correll was a true master.
