I used to have one of those cheap CD compliations which had "I'll See You Later" by Noel Coward in its track listing. That always made me laugh!

Hey, give them credit at least for spelling Glenn Miller's first name correctly (with two n's). I see that misspelled way too often. Although looking at their track record of atrocious spelling there, I wouldn't be surprised if they meant to spell it "Glen" but made a typo and it came out "Glenn".

I saw a Digiview DVD case for the 1936 Dancing Pirate which listed Frank Morgan "of MASH fame" on the back. Their case for The Betty White Show gave an accurate description of her 1970s MTM sitcom with John Hillerman while the actual episodes were from her Life With Elizabeth series.
