One of our readers recommended this movie, tracked down by PD.
Abbe Lane appears at 10:35, singing One at a Time, as she continued her ongoing struggle to remain inside her clothing, a trait which endeared her to the lascivious Xavier Cugat standing behind her there, band leader and hubby, 32 years her senior.
Here they are on WML. Wiki calls her 'sultry'. The heat certainly rose when she was about. One more factoid - they did divorce when she was 32, tick tock tick tock, they'd had no children, have a look at this though:
She's still living. Enough of that, this is an Untouchables precursor, so let's roll the film:
"Because this film starred Dennis O'Keefe (who was wonderful in his Film Noir appearances), I was sure to see it. And fortunately, the overall effort was exciting and engaging--making it a decent later example of the genre. While not as bloody and earthy as many Noir films, due to the head of the mob priding himself on being a well-spoken gentleman, nevertheless is a decent film of this type."
Nothing to do with me, mate. I have not gone to the cinema for about 35 years, I hate films and TV plays. The actors and actresses are never like the people that I would have employed, they are too fat/thin, to tall/small, the voice is too deep/high, etc. This is especially true if I have read the book beforehand.

Can help you narrow it down - wasn't me either! :)
