Judy Garland and Connie Gilchrist (dubbed by Mary Kent) sang it in the 1943 film Presenting Lily Mars, and Peggy Cummins sang and hummed it in the 1947 film, The Late George Apley, based upon the Pulitzer Prize-winning John P. Marquand novel of 1912 Boston.
The song was sung in 1957 by Polly Bergen on her eponymous NBC variety show[6] and by Ann Morgan Guilbert on an episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show called "The Gunslinger".
