Peggy Mann, My Reverie Larry Clinton & His Orch., 1943 Soundie

Peggy Mann sings My Reverie accompanied by Larry Clinton and His Orchestra. This film was originally a soundie produced to be viewed on a Panoram video jukebox for a dime a play. The Panorams were popular during World War Two but were driven out of business by television after the war. This Panoram soundie was apparently purchased by Official Films to be sold to the home video market.
