Dear John,
Regarding: >...... or the fisticuffs between TD & BG on the set of "A Star is Born"  ?<
You mean the filum 'A Song Is Born' (Aug 1947).
As I understand it, and notwithstanding the newspaper headlines, no blows were struck (according to
Charlie Barnet) just a scuffle and a few music stands knocked over.
But Benny WAS a bit naughty to be 4 hours late for the filming of the jam session scene.
Kind regards,
Bill.
