  • Boom Shot is a 1942 song composed by Glenn Miller and Billy May for the 20th Century Fox movie Orchestra Wives starring George Montgomery and Ann Rutherford. Billy May is credited as his first wife, Arletta May, because he had signed an exclusive composer's contract with Charlie Barnet that prohibited him from writing anything for Miller under his own name. The song was published by Mutual Music Society in the U.S. and by Chappell and Company in the UK. Though uncredited on the film soundtrack, "Boom Shot" appears in the movie Orchestra Wives twice, first as a 78 by Gene Morrison and His Orchestra on the Wurlitzer jukebox in the soda shop, then during the outdoor concert scene featuring Harry Morgan and Ann Rutherford dancing. Glenn Miller as Gene Morrison is shown conducting his orchestra on the bandstand. The title comes from the wide-angle, mobile camera shot used to film the scene, known as a boom shot. The arrangement is by George Williams. (en)
