Stars George Raft and Clair Trevor, as Johnny and Lily. when a ship is found floating off new orleans, Johnny tries to figure out what happened to the crew. which included his own father as captain. the awesome Hoagy Carmichael is O'brien, the cabby. usually he's the talented piano player, although he does do some singing. and whistling. some intrigue between Lily and Johnny; and Lily and her husband; and Lily and Miss Drum, longtime company employee. O'brien and Johnny drive around and try to solve the mystery of what happened to the ship. Signe Hasso is Paulette, who knows more than she is telling. and now we're in the flashback. about an hour in, Carmichael finally starts playing piany and singing. it's pretty good. filmed right at the end of WWII. directed by Ed Marin for RKO...he died so young at 52.
