"Pandro Berman, the producer, told Gershwin he didn't need to bother with the musical numbers that linked the scenes. They would be handed to a lesser composer."

Good for George Gershwin - I like a guy who's willing to handle what some may regard as the more mundane aspects of a work. If one doesn't take care of the "minor details", who can trust the integrity of the opus?

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Must retire – the 0500 Reveille approaches relentlessly – the bugler already mounts the parapet. Will chat with you all on the morrow.

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

How here is Frank Capra's comic touch with Clark Gable in one of his rare comic roles, with Claudette Colbert.

This was the movie that made Gable a star. Louie Mayer had loaned Gable to Harry Cohn at Columbia as punishment, and the movie put Gable in the position of demanding whatever he wanted from Mayer when he got back to MGM.
