Till the Clouds Roll By Facts
This was the second of six MGM movies released between 1944 and 1953 featuring June Allyson and Van Johnson, although in this film they did not share any scenes or musical numbers.
Deleted from the film were the following Jerome Kern songs: "D'Ye Love Me?" (lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and Otto A. Harbach), sung by Judy Garland, footage available on the 2008 DVD from Warner Home Video (although the song's prologue, which shows Judy interacting with mimes John and Renee Arnaut, is missing the soundtrack) -- "Bill" (lyrics by P.G. Wodehouse), the first chorus sung by Lena Horne, audio available on the 1996 Rhino CD, "Lena Horne at M-G-M: Ain't It the Truth" -- "I've Told Every Little Star" (lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II), sung by Kathryn Grayson, segueing into "The Song Is You" (lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II), sung by Kathryn Grayson and Johnny Johnston, footage of this medley available on the 2008 DVD from Warner Home Video -- "Dearly Beloved" (lyrics by Johnny Mercer), sung partially by Johnn
Judy Garland, who played real-life singer-dancer Marilyn Miller, was pregnant with her first daughter, Liza Minnelli. She was placed behind stacks of dishes while singing "Look For the Silver Lining", but it was not to "hide her belly" as some have thought, because moments before her number, she is shown walking over to the set and even during her song as she is standing behind the dishes, her abdomen is not disguised.
Tony Martin, already identified, via his December 19, 1939 Decca recording, with the incomparable ballad, "All the Things You Are" (lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II ), waxed another version for Mercury around the time of the film's Manhattan debut. Mercury paired Tony's remake with his solo of "Make Believe" (lyrics by Hammerstein) on a 78-rpm single. The MGM Records soundtrack album featured, as part of the "Show Boat" medley, Tony singing "Who Cares If My Boat Goes Up Stream?" (lyrics by Hammerstein) and a Martin-Kathryn Grayson duet of "Make Believe." On CD, Tony's one Decca side has a place on "Hear My Song" from the British label Flare in 1999; his two recordings from December 21, 1946 (first issued on a single one full year later) count among "The Best of Tony Martin: The Mercury Years," issued in 1996; and all of his movie vocals are contained on film-score releases from Sony in 1992 and then by The Soundtrack Factory, a Spanish label, in 2000.
