Oley Speaks - in The Movies

In The Movies

Speaks can be described as a "one-hit wonder", but his most famous work was included in the soundtrack of several films:

  • Paul Tremaine and His Aristocrats (1929) (sung by Paul Tremaine)
  • Metro Movietone Revue (1929/II) (sung by George Dewey Washington)
  • Mandalay (1934) (played during opening credits) (not to be confused with The Road to Mandalay, a 1926 film)
  • China Seas (1935) (variation played as part of the score during the opening credits and at the end)
  • Metropolitan (1935) (sung by Lawrence Tibbett with piano accompaniment by Luis Alberni (who both appeared) in the score during the end credits)
  • They Met in Bombay (1941) (played several times as part of the score)

Famous quotes containing the word movies:

    The movies today are too rich to have any room for genuine artists. They produce a few passable craftsmen, but no artists. Can you imagine a Beethoven making $100,000 a year?
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
