...music? Perhaps no song in the show equals the "Here in My arms" of "Dearest Enemy' but then, few songs could. "Where's That Rainbow?" has a nice lilt and good lyrics: "A Tree in A Park" sounded awfully good to us but then Helen Ford sang it and as far as we're concerned she could sing anything and we'd ask for more.
