During Kay's most active years, Greer Garson was one of Hollywood's best-known stars. Garson appeared in the film version of the best-seller Random Harvest. In the thumbnail for the video we see Garson's co-star Ronald Colman.

The trailer begins with accolades about the novel and what a literary success it had been. The book was by James Hilton, author of Lost Horizon  and Goodbye, Mr. Chips. 

People do enjoy the release of new books, but with e-book, a slew of new fiction appears daily. But in Kay's day, people waited outside bookstores for them to open to get the newest bestseller. Stores had plate glass windows and shoppers on the sidewalk would look anxiously to see when something new was going to appear in the window. Only modern instance I can think of us was the buzz over each new book in the Harry Potter series.
