MOONGLOW . . .

Thanks Gary,
Yes interesting behind the scenes stuff there. Seems William Holden thought he was an awful dancer and demanded $8000 more for 'stuntman premium" for the famous dance scene over which they played 'Moonglow'.
And he got it !

I'll take $8 and dance with Kim Novak any day, she certainly had that 'something' !

Thanks for the clarification Ray, I'm surprised Morecombe and Wise didn't get involved !
Ever see the M&W video where Ernie has the Beatles on the show, turns to the drums and say ""I always liked you BONGO !"

Thanks Norman,
I have done something similar on the standard jazz front if you'd like to hear it. It's 'The nearness of you'.

Hi Bob,

They must have paid their stuntmen well, an inflation calculator puts the figure at just under $89,000 at todays rates!

Absolutely, I would have paid her but I was only about 9 years old at the time and my pocket money was about two bob a week. LOL

I can’t believe that she’s 90 years old now!
