Does anyone know which movie I’m trying to remember that had the song “The Way You Look Tonight” in it? I’m pretty sure it was the Frank Sinatra version and the film was a more modern one that was in color.

It is not…

Chinatown  
Father of the Bride (1 or 2)  
My Best Friend’s Wedding  
Love’s Labour’s Lost  
Valentine’s Day

Thanks for any attempts.

Here is a list of all(?) titles that contain that song. Perhaps have a look and see if one jogs your memory?

IMDB only shows 5 entries for the Sinatra version under Frank as a performer. The only movies are:

[A Dash of Love](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6286216/reference/) and [One Night of Love](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5446494/reference/). The others are a short and episodes of Gilmore Girls and Saturday Night Live.

Thank you. I was thinking it was a Tom Hanks movie, but I’m not really sure. For all I know it might have been on a TV show. Nothing is ringing a bell yet.

Is it possible that you’re thinking of this Michelob commercial from the mid-80s?
