" Let's Fall In Love"--Sinatra in an upbeat mood. The 1933 film was also called Let's Fall in Love, a song Arlen and Ted Koehler created for Columbia Pictures. They actually wrote it while the on the train going to Hollywood.
It has a very catchy verse which manages to rhyme" mental, sentimental and incidental " and concludes with " "Why go on stalling ? I am falling , love is calling, why be shy ?"
The bridge or middle section is a logical continuation of the main theme whereas most bridges introduce a distinctly different melodic approach before returning to the introductory or main theme.
Sinatra actually starts with a section of the bridge before returning to the verse then followed by the main theme.
The bouncy, Big Band arrangement is by Johnny Mandel, a noted film composer in his own right and who began professionally in Big Band ensembles.
