It debuted in the motion picture The Lemon Drop Kid (1951), where it was started by William Frawley,[1] then sung in the generally known version immediately thereafter by Bob Hope and Marilyn Maxwell.[1] The first recorded version was produced by Bing Crosby and Carol Richards on September 8, 1950, with John Scott Trotter and His Orchestra and the Lee Gordon Singers.[2] The record was released by Decca Records in October 1950.[3] When the recording became popular, Hope and Maxwell were called back in late 1950 to re-shoot a more elaborate production of the song.[1]
