The Majestic 78 of "So Would I," featuring Georgia Gibbs with Earle Hagen's Orchestra, carried a label informing: "From the Picture 'My Heart Goes Crazy'" -- without reference to the film studio. In addition, two Columbia 78s were inscribed more simply with this note: "From "'My Heart Goes Crazy'" -- The Modernaires, assisted by Mitchell Ayres The September 4, 1946 edition of Variety carried a review of this movie, which had premiered at the Leicester Square Theatre in London on August 28.
