When the army of Nazi Germany invaded Paris today in 1940, Oscar - TopicsExpress



          

When the army of Nazi Germany invaded Paris today in 1940, Oscar Hammerstein II was so troubled that he couldnt work. I kept thinking of the silly and frivolous side of Paris…the beauty of her buildings…the stimulating confusion of her happy streets. Pretty soon I found myself writing a song about these things. I didnt know if Id ever see Paris again - at the time I was afraid that I wouldnt. Hammerstein went on to write the song The Last Time I Saw Paris, which won the Oscar for Best Song in 1942.
