a man plays a tune on the piano on-screen; the tune is called "Stunt Men of Hollywood" (Creighton Cheney and Max Steiner) in the cue sheet; after a brief pause, some of the men and women at the party begin to sing along - the lyrics are not always clear because it is sometimes sung behind dialogue, but it is about stunt men; onscreen, a woman tries to commit suicide by jumping of a high balcony |
