The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ. Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit. Shall lure it back to cancal half a line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
Perhaps my favourite song of all time. It was originally recorded by Gertrude Niesen. It first appeared on film in the third pairing of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers "Roberta" (1935). It also features in "Lovely to Look At" (1952). I've never made up my mind whether I prefer Dinah Shore's version of the song or Jo Stafford's.
Anyway, back to the game:
Let's Face the Music and Dance -- Irving Berlin
(Featured in "Follow the Fleet" [1936] the fifth Fred and Ginger film.)
