I had no idea she wrote, or sang, "We'll Sing in the Sunshine", which you prompted me to rediscover. I always thought the line after "We'll sing in the sunshine" – "We'll laugh every day" – was "We'll cry in the rain", which tells more of a mournful bent in childhood than the quality of my hearing. All the camera moves and sound hubbub for which Altman became known are in his Scopitone. And the goof resembles a WASP version of Peter Sellers in "The Party".
