Description
Description: A man opens the window to the jury room and we immediately hear music from the radio across the street playing "There's a Sob in My Heart" (a tune by Steiner that was used in several other films, most notably as the main theme in Traveling Husbands in 1931); some of the jurors begin to dance along; the song ends mid-phrase when a woman closes the window
On-screen: Jurors deliberate
Analysis: This version of the song is most similar to the Ballroom Variant in Transgression (1931) but is extended and embellished, with several key changes
