Notes
In 1951 Dinah Shore headed the cast of a "Technicolor" film adaptation of a period play from 1919, Aaron Slick From Punkin Crick (Marshmallow Moon in the UK). The story concerns a small town widow tricked into selling her farm by city slickers who believe the land contains oil but who are in turn outwitted by a shrewd farmer who ends up marrying the widow. The Oscar-winning team of Livingston and Evans were commissioned to contribute songs for the film to showcase Miss Shore’s talent.
