I completely agree with this bit. I am 59. But whatever your age, if you can't hear what's said....

Turn the sound up and look/listen through to the end.......(and tell me what you reckon Krupa was on... )

Thanks for the suggestion. I agree that it is stunning in this rendition (1960s) but the original (1936 song) was slower. Wouldn't the 1960s' version be anachronistic too? I have not seen this before, so thanks VERY much. I love it. And you are right, crank up the volume!

I have a 2 CD set of the complete concert made from the original masters recorded in 1938. (From charity shop a few years ago).
And you're right, the tempo is slightly different.

But you are right, too. It would have fitted the drama. Superb.
