"Waltz in Swing Time" from Fred Astaire Film
By Duaine Hechler

I just watched a move called "Swing Time" with Fred Astaire [1936].
It had a piece of music called "Waltz in Swing Time", or "Swing
Time", which was a waltz.  Does anyone know if this music exists
on piano roll?

Thanks,

 [ "Trying to assimilate Kern to the metallic clamor of today's
 [ Broadway was a fairly thankless task to start with.  Despite his
 [ knack for explosive syncopation, he generally disliked jazz --
 [ Robert Russell Bennett allegedly had to show him how to write
 [ "The Waltz in Swing Time" in swing time -- and tended to compose
 [ operetta-tinged romantic music that already seemed a throwback
 [ in the Broadway of the 1930s."
