[Gershwin, George. (1898–1937)]. Legal Documents for the use of "I've Got Rhythm.".

Collection of documents, several signed secretarially on behalf of George and Ira Gershwin and by representatives of Paramount Pictures and RKO Radio pictures, concerning the use of music from Gershwin's "I got rhythm," for the 1938 film, "Doctor Rhythm," at this point referred to as "The Badge of Policeman O'Roon." 8 pp, dated July 29, 1936 - October 19, 1937, together with 3 pp. Western Union telegram (July 16, 1936), from Robert Dann to Felix Cunningham of RKO concerning the contract negotiations, and 6 pp. later copies of related correspondence. 8.5 x 11 inches (21 x 28 cm.).

Doctor Rhythm is a 1938 American musical comedy film directed by Frank Tuttle and starring Bing Crosby, Mary Carlisle, Beatrice Lillie, and Andy Devine.  Based on the 1907 short story The Badge of Policeman O'Roon by O. Henry, the film is about a doctor who pretends to be a policeman assigned as the bodyguard of a wealthy matron, whose beautiful niece becomes the object of his affections. The film features the songs "On the Sentimental Side" and "My Heart Is Taking Lessons," but not, apparently, any by Gershwin in the final production.
