SET #4 Jazz Standard Time: "At Last" [Mack Gordon-Harry Warren] (1942) {Orchestra Wives} (14:35)
The second motion picture built to showcase the Glenn Miller Orchestra. "Orchestra Wives" features a treasure-trove of songs by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren, the same team responsible for the hits featured in Miller's first film Sun Valley Serenade (1941). The main production number is "I've Got a Gal in Kalamazoo", an analogue of "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" from the first film that features a folksy vocal and some gutsy tenor sax work by Tex Beneke, backup singing by the Modernaires, and a gravity-defying dance sequence by the Nicholas Brothers. Other songs include the period piece "People Like You and Me", a breakneck performance of "Bugle Call Rag" and the still-popular romantic ballads "At Last" and "Serenade in Blue". (Wikipedia)
