Bronislaw Kaper (2/05/1902 - 4/26/1983)

Bronislau Kaper was a musical prodigy who studied law and music in his native Poland before moving to Berlin to pursue music. He composed for German films, but as anti-Semitism increased he moved to Paris in 1933. There he was discovered by Louis B. Mayer who signed him to MGM.

From 1936 to 1940 he wrote songs for films: “Tomorrow Is Another Day,” “Cosi Cosa,” and “All God’s Chillun Got Rhythm” (now considered politically incorrect) for the Marx Brothers’ A Day at the Races (1937). By 1940 he was assigned complete scores. During a career that spanned over 30 years in Hollywood he scored an incredible variety of films from Gaslight(1944), a suspense drama, to Them! (1954), a horror film about giant ants, to Somebody Up There Likes Me (1956), a boxing film. With Herbert Stothart he served as music director for the operetta, Chocolate Soldier (1941), which featured his song, “While My Lady Sleeps” with Gus Khan’s lyrics.
