Anyone know the band who played throughout the movie?
No credits are given.
My bf thinks it might be Les Brown, but he's not sure and he's really curious about it.

Thanks.

Never mind, we figured it out.
For anyone else who's curious, it's Horace Heidt and his Musical Knights. They give the name in the movie, but we figured it was a fictitious band until we looked it up and realized it was the real name.

I'm just guessing but it might be the Horace Heidt Band.
My dad played trumpet in the band in the early 1940's
If you have any more info please post !

Thanks
