-
Feature film (over 60 minutes). -
Unconfirmed reports suggest that Orson Welles used a piano track by Nat King Cole during the club sequence in which the second Mrs. Kane is interviewed. Bernard Herrmann denied any knowledge of it to this writer: he also denied any involvement with the musicians in the beach party scene who were hired by Welles himself.
Welles’ liking for jazz is a matter of record and shortly after KANE was completed he commissioned Duke Ellington to compose a score for a future project, "The story of jazz". A few pages of this unused music still exist. - Songs
-
"It can’t be love" by Charlie Barnet, performed by beach party group; also cues by Max Steiner from "King Kong" and cues by Nathaniel Shilkret, Roy Webb and Alfred Newman from previous RKO movies. - Personnel on Camera
-
In the beach party sequence members of Cee Pee Johnson’s Band, including Raymond Tate, trumpet; unidentified trombone; Buddy Collette, alto sax; Buddy Banks, tenor sax; Cee Pee Johnson, drums; Alton Redd, vocal.
