"I Love You So Much" (1930)

We left off in 1930, so let's stay for a moment to enjoy another Kalmar & Ruby song from a Wheeler & Woolsey movie!

The movie is "The Cuckoos," which was the boys' first starring feature for RKO after they had made a hit as supporting players in the previous year's "Rio Rita."

Also coming over from "Rio Rita" was Dorothy Lee, who continued to serve as Bert Wheeler's love interest in most of W & W's subsequent features.

Dorothy looks mighty cute on the sheet music for the song "I Love You So Much," which she and Bert sang in the movie.

Here's a pretty snappy version on Columbia Records by the California Ramblers:

The vocal is by the Campus Trio, which included prolific session vocalist Smith Ballew!

I think it's fun that both the sheet music and the record label point out that the movie in question is a talkie! That was big in 1930!
