The Tender Trap (film)
The Tender Trap( 1955) is a CinemaScope Eastman Color comedy directed by Charles Walters and starring Frank Sinatra, Debbie Reynolds, David Wayne, and Celeste Holm.
Based on the 1954 play" The Tender Trap" by Max Shulman and Robert Paul Smith, it marked Sinatra's return to MGM some six years after" On the Town".
A second film under a new contract with the studio," Guys and Dolls", was actually released ahead of" The Tender Trap" by one day on November 3, 1955.
The film earned an Oscar nomination in the category of Best Original Song for"( Love Is) the Tender Trap"( music by Jimmy Van Heusen and lyrics by Sammy Cahn).
The song proved a hit for Sinatra, one he would continue to sing throughout his career.
It is performed in a pre-credits sequence by Sinatra, sung in the film by Reynolds in a lackluster version that Sinatra corrects, and yet again at the end of the film by Sinatra, Reynolds, Holm and Wayne.

Love Is Me, Love Is You
Love Is Me, Love Is
You is a song written by Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent and first recorded by Connie Francis.
Due to Petula Clark having reached# 1 on the" Billboard" Hot 100 in January 1965 with" Downtown" and being afforded a smash follow- up with" I Know a Place", Connie Francis was eager to work with Clark's main composer and producer Tony Hatch.
They met on 26 May 1965 at Philips Studios Stanhope Place in London for a three- song session which yielded a cover version of Connie Smith's 1964 C&W classic" Once a Day", the ballad" Roundabout"( previously recorded by Petula Clark but then unreleased) and the beat number" Love Is Me, Love Is You".
The session notes indicate two versions of" Love Is Me, Love Is You", referred to as" US version" and" UK version".
Both versions share a very similar orchestral arrangement with only slight differences, but make distinct use of the background vocalists on the song's refrain, the US version featuring the background vocalists singing" doo- wop" behind Francis' vocal while on the UK version the background vocalists sing- along with Francis.
" Love Is Me, Love Is You" had its original single release serving as B-side to" Roundabout" in that track's UK single release of 3 September 1965.
In the US – where" Roundabout" had been released with the B-side" Bossa Nova Hand DanceLove Is Me, Love Is You" was given an A- side single release in February 1966 to rise to a" Billboard" Hot 100 peak of# 66.
In the UK Francis'" Love Is Me, Love Is You" was given an A- side release in March 1966, two other versions of the song being issued as UK singles that month, the first by Truly Smith( 11 March 1966) with a rendition by co-writer Jackie Trent – produced by Tony Hatch – being released 18 March 1966: none of the three versions would reach the UK Top 50.
In Canada, Francis'" Love Is Me, Love Is You" would chart with a# 61 peak: in Australia the track would afford Francis her final major hit in that territory with a# 31 peak.
The Connie Francis single release with" Love Is Me, Love Is You" as A- side featured as B- side the track" I'd Let You Break My Heart All Over Again" which Francis had recorded 10 July 1959.
In March 1966 Francis recorded a number of non-English renderings of" Love Is Me, Love Is You":
Despite being largely overlooked in its original English- language version," Love Is Me, Love Is You" was recorded in non-English renderings by a number of vocalists:
