An excellent restoration, too.

Oh, this is terrific! Thanks for the heads-up.

I like the studio talk at the end where Alfred Newman is complaining "What happened to the woodwinds?" The baritone (or bass?) sax does sound far away, compared to the rest of the orchestra.

I have that recording, and it is Newman, the bandleader, whose comments you hear. George Olsen was the Broadway band leader for the show, and his wife, Ethel Shutta, is the comic foil for Cantor in the film. It is really nice and interpolates tunes not heard in the film.

I wonder if those tunes not heard in the film may be some of the selections used in the score for the "International Non-Dialogue" version, in which the soundtrack retained all the songs but had all new music recorded to cover the talking parts (with intertitles inserted for whatever language each print was for).
