Music from Big Heat
Does anyone know the name of the song Debby absentmindedly hums while mixing drinks in her first scene? Is it "There is No Greater Love?" If it is, it's pretty ironic, huh?

I thought it was interesting that "Put the Blame on Mame" is playing in a bar. That film made Glenn Ford a star.
shareWhile Bannion's having his discussion with Lagana, just before the bodyguard comes in, you can hear the song that Billie Dawn (Judy Holliday) is "humming" during cocktails with the congressman and his wife early in Born Yesterday.
shareThe song Judy Holliday is humming in that scene in Born Yesterday is "I can't give you anything but love, baby" with a few uh, uh, uh's thrown in.

shareI wanted to share this recent item with all of you:
Chicago Tribune, Sunday, January 11, 2009, s. 2, p. 9, c. 1 (weather page):
Ask Tom Why
Dear Tom,
. . . In the 1946 movie, "Gilda," Rita Hayworth sang "Put the Blame on Mame," a song that mentions the Great Chicago Fire and the Blizzard of 1886. What's the story with the blizzard?
---Heikki Heino, Crete
Dear Heikki:
The blizzard of 1886 that the song references took place in Manhattan, not Chicago. The story began in New York the evening of Jan. 8, 1886, and when it ended, as much as 12 inches of snow covered Manhattan. The storm was accompanied by very high winds, and drifting was severe. It took days to remove the snow, and newspaper accounts refer to banks of snow up to 6 feet high lining the streets "as far as the eye could see." Before reaching New York, the storm brought heavy snow followed by bitterly cold air to much of the Midwest. Chicago didn't get much snow, but temperatures here plunged to 9 degrees below zero in the storm's wake.
