“Leg of Mutton“ - ’Turkey Trot’ with José Ferrer & Helen Traubel (“Deep in My Heart“)
This rag-time number comes from the 1954 movie ’Deep in My Heart,’ a bio-pic of Sigmund Romberg, the famed Broadway operetta composer, played by José Ferrer. Also in the cast was the great Wagnerian soprano Helen Traubel. Here they both let their hair down with a Tin Pan Alley hit from 1913 that helped to establish Romberg’s song-writing career.
