“Maytime”: sing to the tree…

 

Happy May Day! A good time to watch “Maytime” with extra insight.  “Nelson… could not sing and look at her without crying. [Director] Leonard finally instructed Nelson to look to the tree beyond and sing to the tree…” From “Sweethearts”, Chapter 11.

1958 Edward R. Murrow interviews Jeanette and Gene on his "Person to Person" TV show. They are in New York and the tension between them is noticeable. When she explains how fans sometimes mistake Gene for Nelson, she is very sarcastic as she turns the story-telling over to him.
