Ok, now you got me started - mixing my favorite music with one of my favorite 
subjects, classic movies!! yaaayy..... Frank Sinatra was well known for his 
insistence of doing only one take. Bing would do whatever was needed, but he, 
too, preferred the one take system as much as possible (especially on the 
"Road" pictures when he and Hope would run to the nearest golf course as soon 
as they were done). From all of the pictures I have from the set of the 
movie, it seems that Pops and the boys kept everyone on cast and crew very 
well entertained in between takes (I have no idea how the crew could possibly 
concentrate enough to set up for the next shot with such a party going on), 
and royalty even joined in on the fun (Prince Rainier I believe proposed to 
Grace Kelly during production of this picture).

Which brings me to another point - my grandfather used to sing "Little One" 
to me when I still was actually little (as well as "April Showers"), and it 
might be pretty neat to give my grandmother the sheet music to that song as a 
present. Anyone have any idea where I might get that?
