Secrets in the Moonlight singers


Does any one know the name of the singing ensemble singing Secrets in the Moonlight on the train with John Payne?

reply

Why, no. Even the orchestra leader is uncredited here, according to "Full Cast and Crew" under "Music Department."

IMDb's Soundtracks for
Star Dust (1940)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0033100/soundtrack
lists these four songs, without crediting any established recording artist group, so perhaps they were assembled expressedly for this film as extras?

But if you do a web search, some responses for "Star Dust (1940" "Singers on the train" would lead you to a video of the performance if you have the capacity to open those video sites because they usually don't work anyway.
