“A Kiss to Build a Dream On” is a song composed by Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby and Oscar Hammerstein II. In 1935, Kalmar and Ruby wrote a song called “Moonlight on the Meadow” for the Marx Brothers film A Night at the Opera, but the song was not used. Hammerstein later adapted the lyrics to be “A Kiss to Build a Dream On” and it was performed by Armstrong in the 1951 thriller The Strip. It was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song.
