Swing Fever

Kay Kayser has just played the bumpkin entering a New York music publishing house when he discovers his real-life band, kicking off his singer Marilyn Maxwell on one of their radio hits (by Raymond Egan, Roy Marsh, Ted Fio Rito and Thomas Pitts), Clyde Fillmore the big-wig, early in MGM’s Swing Fever, 1943.

Kay Kyser is the bumbling Southerner in a New York composing house whose sheet music has been snatched, appealing to the secretary (Pamela Blake) with a weird trick until the camera gets stopped by 21-year old MGM contract player, Ava Gardner, in a bit part, in Swing Fever, 1943.

Kay Kyser introduces the song, Lena Horne as herself, with You're So Indifferent, by Sammy Fain and Mitchell Parish, edited so that it could be removed by theater owners in the South, as was MGM's regular practice at the time, in Swing Fever, 1943.
