The only song from the drama "The Great Magoo". The Ben Hecht-Gene Fowler play was later transformed into the musical comedy movie "Shoot the Works" (1934).
The song title was changed to "It's Only a Paper Moon" when the song was added to the movie version of the stage musical "Take a Chance" (premiere: November 25 1933). It was performed by June Knight and Buddy Rogers. - Published by
