Music credits


In the scene with Lana Turner and Ezio Pinza singing "Solamente una vez" no credit is given for the trio of Mexican musicians, who look familiar. Are they an established trio and, if so, who are they?

Okay to reply to my own query? Turns out that the group Lana Turner introduces as the Guadalajara Trio was a real group with that name, but as was typical of Hollywood's attitude toward Latino performers, they are given no mention in the credits. They were uncredited in other Hollywood films as well. Somewhere I read that Turner's voice was dubbed by Fran Warren, but I believe Trudy Erwin is correct. The dubbed voice is quite good, but I don't think on a par with Pinza's. Where was Marni Nixon when we, I mean MGM, needed her?
