Yesterday I was listening to a story on NPR about “The High and the Mighty,” a John Wayne movie just released on DVD. Now, it is almost impossible that I have seen or heard anything from this movie before, but when the theme song came on, I knew it immediately. I remember it being whistled by someone in a movie, and it turns out that John Wayne’s character apparently whistled it.
My question is this: Is there some other movie in which this theme is whistled? For some reason, I’m thinking of Chevy Chase. I can’t absolutely rule out clips from the John Wayne movie as the source, although I am sure I never saw the film itself.
Sorry to have troubled you - I answered my own question.
Rather than my original google efforts, which failed, I tried searching on specific candidate Chevy Chase movies, and IMDB ultimately provided the answer. It was Seems Like Old Times.
