The Playlist Next Door

Screenshot from the movie Words and Music showing Perry Como and Cyd Charisse sitting at a white grand piano that he's playing while he sings to her. Both are wearing white: he's in a white suit and tie and she is in a white gown with a lace collar and a white gem necklace. They are sitting in a room with a blue glow of light.
Perry tries the words and the music on Cyd.
