"Author: eeeeeeeee from United States But what makes this bizarre is that the short has no credits, NONE, nada, zilch -- neither orchestra nor conductor are ever identified, and the music itself is named only at the end as a kind of afterthought."
As with the other shorts produced with the MGM Symphony Orchestra the credits are spoken at the start of the film. See also "Poet and Peasant Overture," "MGM Jubilee Overture," and "Strauss Fantasy." The purpose of these short films was to show off stereophonic sound and the new Widescreen and CinemaScope processes. They would be seen, along with trailers, cartoons, and newsreels, before and/or after the main feature.
