Sometimes, I wonder what I'm doing here.

I know Raft did have some genuine affairs with actresses.

I was supposed to be a romancer, either wooing the leading lady or competing with the leading man for her.

I should only have been as lucky as Valentino, in the movies - I didnt have to be a gigolo. In real life.

Sometimes, I wonder what I'm doing here.

I was out dancing with one actress or another. And that got press. Even when it didn't, the whole town knew I was a dancing fool, and since I couldn't very well dance with a man, they saw me dancing with a lady, and they assumed the rest.

When someone's acting for a scene, they can fool the camera. But in everyday life, unless you're watching and censoring yourself every minute, or spending all your time in the company of ladies, what you feel is bound to show in your eyes.
