Hollywood - Paris

A slight departure from the jazz, I like several of the collections from Chansons Actualités. In a future post I'll share the soundtracks from several of the Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire films. In the meantime, enjoy this collection of American and French tunes mixed in with "news" of the day en français. Groucho Marx's "I'm Against It" from the 1932 film Horsefeathers is fun. +

"I don't know if it's bad or good, but let's have one thing understood,
Whatever it is - I'm against it!"
