WITH EVERY BREATH I TAKE
Here is a rare color video of Bing singing this great song from 1934. The color is great for the time!
Whilst I have seen this clip before, I don't know what it might be drawn from. The piece is fairly obviously scripted, so was it made for publicity purposes or what. I certainly don't recognise it from any film. Any information? And is the colour genuine or has it been treated to "colorization"?
It was genuinely color, and I believe it was part of a short which also highlighted other stars like Mary Pickford. I may be wrong but I think it was filmed at the Coconut Grove. I'll have to look into it.
