Used in the M-G-M movie Andy Hardy Meets Debutante (in its orchestral arrangement). I don't think this justifies tagging it as a film score, as it wasn't written for the screen.
Also - Most Tin Pan Alley songs were published simultaneously for voice + piano and voice + orchestra, but the prior is (almost) always the original.
