From "Roberta", a 1935 Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields musical.
“Smoke Gets in Your Eyes” was my aunt’s wedding song. My mom told me that and when I said: that’s kind of an odd song for your wedding, my mom said: that just shows you how big a hit it was! (The Platters version rules imho).
And my mom was NOT into popular music,
Hence my surprise when she told me she sang “Rock Around the Clock” to me when I was a wee baby.
And hey, that’s another great movie song!
