Indiscreet
Jimmy Van Heusen & Sammy Cahn • 1958
The title song for the 1958 Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman romantic comedy, this sophisticated number has a knowing, worldly quality that suits the film’s tone perfectly. Sinatra’s 1962 recording — four years after the film — is the definitive version, his phrasing giving the lyric exactly the right amount of elegance and danger.
One of several Cahn and Van Heusen title songs that outlasted the films they were written for.
