thank you very much, Mick. Sorry for very late reply. I'm still looking for this song. I love the way Miriam Hopkins sings it in the movie 24 Hours.

It could be It's No Use Trying To Leave That Man" (Coslow/King) which was copyrighted in 1931 (see entry here: LOC Index of Copyright Entries Vol26). (My musicals books for 1931 only refer to her in the Smiling Lieutenant, so I can't offer any more help).

IMDb lists Rudolph G Kopp and John Leipold as the composers, uncredited, of the original music, but gives no further details. There is a song by Kopp, One hour with you, dated 1932, which may or may not be relevant, but so far no further details.

Subject: torch singer in 1931 film "24 Hours" by Paramount


Several years ago, I viewed a 1931 film "24 Hours" with Kay Francis & Miriam Hopkins. Hopkins was a torch singer in it and sang two songs.   The one I thought was great had words as follows:   "When I tell him it's all over and he's just an also ran - - no use trying to leave that man - - "    I have never heard the song anywhere else. Do you know where I could find a copy of this song with her singing it.   I still can't forget the movie. It was really fascinating. Please help if you are able. Thank you.
