What song is playing over end credits?


As the final scene fades out and the credits start to roll, there is an old jazz song from the '30s or '40s that has a woman singing, playing over the credits. Does anybody know the name of the song and singer? It was the right kind of song to represent the era that Hoover was his most prominent in, and the mood at the end of the movie. I thought this movie was good. I was never bored. I think in order to enjoy it, one must have some previous knowledge of JEH, knowledge that would spark further interest in him. "J Edgar" is a low-key drama that just simply tells a story. I've gained new respect for DiCaprio.

That song would be "Red Sails in the Sunset", though I don't know who the singer is. Have you checked all the credits here on the imdb? Could be it's there...

Thank you for naming the title. I did check the credits and there was nothing listed, which was why I asked.
