As with a lot of songs from its era, this one was recorded by more than one group. The Chords originally wrote and recorded the song in 1954, but later that year The Crew-Cuts also released their own version. The original Chords version of the song is far superior to the other in my opinion. The Crew Cuts were, as their name might suggest, just to square with their take on the tune. It's way too stiff, and the vocals just seemed forced, not smooth.
As far as a movie connection, the one that really sticks out for me is Clue. It's one of Tim Curry's best and one of my favorites. I hear the same people that bought the movie rights to Battleship and several other Milton Bradley board games are considering another movie based off Clue. I don't see it living up to the old one.
