Highlights
  • Written, but not used, for the 1950 Paramount Pictures film Captain Carey, U.S.A.. Directed by Mitchell Leisen, starring Alan Ladd, Wanda Hendrix and Francis Lederer.
  • Different lyrics written to the melody for "Mona Lisa".
  • This song came about when the film title was changed during filming. The studio asked the songwriting team to keep the melody but change the lyrics. They did, but were allowed to change the lyrics back once the film was renamed a second time.
