The band at Lucien's apartment


Lucien Randall was played by George Barbour, a real guitarist who, at the time, was married to Peggy Lee whom he had met while both were in the Benny Goodman band. Hal Schaefer, piano, Vido Musso, tenor sax, Ernie Royal, trumpet, Alvin Stoller, drums, were all real big band musicians. It seems like an awful waste of musical talent to put them in the film and not use them more.

a very small part

I suspect a lot of their footage ended up on the cutting room floor. Not unusual for tightening a film's pace.
