A celebration in 28 parts of50 years of film musicals. 17: The Oscar-winning Songbook
'You always win the award for the wrong song. I won for "Three Coins in the Fountain ", I don't think it's my best song. I lost with " I'll Walk Alone ", "I Don't Want to Walk With You ", "It's Magic ", " Time After Time "I Fall In Love Too Easily". Time tells me these songs were better, because they're standards today.'
