Expert: D C DowDell Date: 3/16/2006 Subject: Cole Porter
Question Dear Sir, I have been trying to find out for years the man who performs the Cole Porter songs featured in the movie Sleuth - 1974, directed by Joseph Mankiewicz, with Michael Caine and Laurence Olivier: You do something to me, Just one of those things and Anything goes. The movie opening and ending credits only mention Music&Lyrics Cole Porter next to these three song titles. The movie soundtrack also does not include these songs, but just the music composed and conducted by John Addison for the movie. I have listened to internet samples of these songs sung by various artists, but have not found a conclusive match, not even that it would be Cole Porter himself. The man seemingly singing on the radio in the movie has a melodic, warm voice, whereas Cole Porter seems a higher pitched one, but can't really tell. Can you help with tracking the mystery guy?
Answer
Hello Gloria and thank you for contacting me through AllExperts.com.
Not having seen the movie, I can only guess Bobby Troop?
