Jimmy Stewart : I was lucky enough to sing a Cole Porter song in "Born to Dance" with Eleanor Powell. At first the studio planned to have someone else record the vocal. But, the tune became such a big hit that they decided to let me do it. You see, they figured the song was so good that even my singing couldn't hurt it.

Jimmy Stewart : In the late 1920s and early 30s, these 200 acres of real estate were a scene of panic. Pandemonium. Sound pictures had replaced silent films virtually over night. The only actor in town that wasn't worried was Rin Tin Tin. As long as he could bark, well, sound was no threat to him.

Jimmy Stewart : Musicals were the most popular commodity in the early 30s and they were cranked out at an incredible rate. Most of them really weren't very good. But, if audiences suffered, they didn't complain. The real victims were the dramatic actors. The studio pushed nearly everyone of them into musical roles.
