Cocktails for Two

"Cocktails for Two" is a short film that is a 'Soundie'...an early sort of music video that was played on specially built jukeboxes from 1940-1947. These jukeboxers were unusual because they not only played music but video...like music videos of the modern era. And, if you are curious about this an other soundies, you might want to buy yourself a copy of "Soundies the Ultimate Collection"...a 4 disc set of about 200 of these films.

There have been some excellent versions of this old song. It's hard to beat The Inkspots...and the Spike Jones version is raucus and fun. As for the folks in this one, Bob Hughes and the Mellowaires", they are pretty good but nearly as good. See the other versions and you'll see what I mean...but it still is quite nice.
