By the Light of the Silvery Playlist

Screenshot from the movie In a Lonely Place showing Hadda Brooks sitting at a grand piano, her head tilted as she sings. She's wearing a halter top gown with a multi-diamond necklace. She's singing, but has a wistful smile. Behind her sit restaurant customers in formal attire at tables listening and watching her.
Lovely necklace on a lovely woman.
