Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesLewis Allen, lyricist for the title song, is the pseudonym of Abel Meeropol (1903-86), best known for the anti-lynching poem and later song "Strange Fruit," made famous by Billie Holiday. He is credited as Lewis Allen because of the blacklist. When he saw the film for the first time, he walked out because the line in his lyric "my neighbors white and black" was not included in the film.
- GaffesWhen Sinatra is talking to the gang, he says the battleship Haruna was bombed a few days after Pearl Harbor. The Haruna was actually sunk, at her moorings, on July 28, 1945.

Frank Sinatra: Look fellas, religion makes no difference, except maybe to a Nazi or somebody as stupid. Why people all over the world worship God in many different ways. God created everybody. He didn't create one people better than another. You're blood's the same as mine. My blood's the same as his. Do you know what this wonderful country is made of? Its made up of a 100 different kind of people - and a 100 different ways of talking - and a 100 different ways of going to church. But, they're all American ways.

Written by Moe Jaffe, Jack Fulton, and Nat Bonx
Performed by Frank Sinatra
After a session at a recording studio Frank Sinatra leaves and comes upon a group of kids beating up on another because he was Jewish. He lectured them as only an American icon could about the meaning of prejudice and what we had just fought for against the Nazis. The meaning could not be clearer.
Both songs from this short subject were recorded and sold big for Columbia records. If You Are But A Dream and the song written for the film, The House I Live In. The latter is one of the best songs about an idealized version of America, we'd all like to strive for.
Sinatra in fact recorded The House I Live In again during the Sixties for a joint album he did for his Reprise record label. The album is now a rarity and it shouldn't be. His collaborators were Bing Crosby and Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians with the orchestra conducted by Nelson Riddle.
Axel Stordahl was Sinatra's primary music conductor and arranger during the forties. When he died that position eventually fell to Nelson Riddle. Stordahl does the orchestration for the short and the Columbia record, Riddle for the Reprise record.
Sinatra aficionados and others should listen to both back to back and compare. And catch this worthwhile film whenever it is shown.
