It is sung by Kenneth Branagh in Love\'s Labour\'s Lost. The original Astaire version is also featured in The Green Mile, Rain Man and The Purple Rose of Cairo, when Top Hat is being viewed.\n\nRecorded versions exist by : Larry Adler \nAmbrose \nJulie Andrews \nRay Anthony \nLouis Armstrong \nFred Astaire (1935 #1 hit) \nChet Atkins \nCount Basie \nTony Bennett - Bennett/Berlin (1987) \nPolly Bergen \nIrving Berlin \nStanley Black \nPat Boone \nBoswell Sisters \nConnee Boswell \nSam Browne \nCharlie Byrd \nCarmen Cavallaro \nEva C!%~%idy \nJune Christy \nRosemary Clooney \nAlma Cogan \nKen Collyer \nDesi Arnaz \nRay Conniff \nBing Crosby
