Danger, Love at Work (1937) - Maxine Gray

from Victor 25628 78 rpm
with Hal Kemp and his orchestra
Music by Harry Revel - Lyrics by Mack Gordon

[@Trombonology]

From Twentieth Century-Fox' film of the same title, this lively number is typical of what we find in the screwball comedies of the era, which served as, if not an antidote to, at least a distraction from the Great Depression. The Kemp crew, though far from a favourite of mine, do render an appropriately frenetic treatment, with Maxine turning in an adroit vocal, highlighted by good phrasing and a chipper tone.
