We return to the Marx Brothers with their second movie for MGM, "A Day at the Races" from 1937!
I agree with the prevailing opinion that it's not as good as their previous picture, "A Night at the Opera" although it has some very funny scenes. It drags more than "Opera" when the Brothers aren't onscreen and is just a bit too long.
In any event, Allan Jones is back as the pseudo-Zeppo character and one of the songs he sings is "To-Morrow is Another Day."
Here's a budget label version by Vincent Travers and his Orchestra:
I see a reference on YouTube that vocalist Buddy Blaisdell is actually Jimmy Blair, but I can't find any other confirmation. A comparison definitely indicates they do sound alike!
As for the song, it's interesting that the sheet music uses the now-archaic spelling of "To-Morrow" in the title!
And did Scarlett O'Hara hear the song somewhere?
