I'm actually trying to find out if any Duchin music was used in this other than "My Twilight Dream" changed to "To Love Again" for the movie. That tune is a Chopin knockoff (no criticism meant).
Not trying to be disrespectful to Duchin or Cavallaro. But have been listening to Eddy's music from primarily the 1930's-- it bears little resemblance to the soundtrack. It could be that the real Eddy music was thought to be too dated for the 50's?? Growling trumpets, fiddles, tubas and Lew Sherwood's voice (an earlier Tony Martin???) didn't make it, I guess. Maybe James Whitmore had no voice :).
Anyhow, loved the chopsticks scene and Power should have got a special award for that and his fake playing in general.
Like a lot of Hollywood biopics, it more than stretches the truth but is worth a look see.
