Stan Kenton's band plays the title song, while Cyd Charisse mopes for the guy who's gone off with the other girl. The dope.
Soundies were short films, about three minutes in length. The were meant to be played on a machine called a Mills Panoram, a video jukebox that was typically to be found in bars, lounges, and similar venues. You put a dime in and got a performance from the ten on the machine. The movies would be changed weekly, and from 1940 through 1946, Mills and other companies produced more than two thousand soundies.
A lot of future stars appeared in these soundies when they were unknown and could be hired for little money. Kenton would remake this sound, with Miss Charisse's future MGM co-player Lucille Bremer.
